background
Dynamic cardsIn Roman times, the Via Claudia Augusta led through the Zwischenentorental. The name Heiterwangs is mentioned for the first time in 1286 as the settlement “Ayterwanch”, which means something like stinging nettle meadow.
In the Middle Ages, Heiterwang was important as a goods transfer point on the Fernpass route as well as with a horse exchange and post office.
The Heiterwang Lake, known for its abundance of fish, is also of economic importance. In 1576, a prince's court was built in the village by Archduke Ferdinand II, and Emperor Maximilian was also a frequent guest in the village. In addition to the nettle, the municipal coat of arms also features fish.
With the Ausserfernbahn, which opened in 1913, Heiterwang was connected to the rail network, a further step in the development of tourism in the town. Today tourism has its main focus in summer with the possibilities in and on the lake such as rowing, boating, surfing, swimming, diving and fishing.
