The Paul Flora Museum is also well worth a visit. Glurns has dedicated this place of remembrance to its son, a cartoonist who also illustrated books by Erich Kästner.
• Not far from Glurns - half an hour's drive to the north - is Lake Reschen in the Vinschgau Valley, which is used as a reservoir for power generation.
