Geography

Häselgher lies in the upper valley of the Lech and consists of several loosely populated hamlets. The place was first documented in 1358 as Hesligeren ("hazel-covered mites" - wedge-shaped corridor). Heuberg near Häselgehr, which was cultivated to the ridge with mountain mowers, has often been the cause of avalanche disasters in the past, which is why the community is today protected by one of the largest avalanche barriers in Central Europe. In Häselgehr, the road branches off to Gramais, the smallest municipality in Austria, which is seven kilometers away.
