The presbytery of the gothic church, built on a hill, shows two paintings of the priest painter Oberkofler. In 2003 a fountain, hewn in a huge boulder, has been sunk near the church.

Visitors are fascinated by the baroque church, considered one of the most beautiful in the province. Famous inhabitants of this village were the Oberkofler brothers. Joseph Georg Oberkofler (*1889) had built up a reputation as poet, Johann Baptist (*1895) was known as priest painter. His are the frescoes in the cemetery arcades of St. Johann/S. Giovanni.

Weißenbach/Rio Bianco
From Luttach/Lutago passing a little side valley you reach Weißenbach/Rio Bianco that lies solitary in the basin. The church from the 16th century has a wonderful winged altar. The sledge run is a real highlight, but before you race down the slope you should stop off at one of the three alpine huts and reward yourself after the ascent with a traditional delicious dish (Pressknödel). In the summer the three health paths – the exercise, herb and Kneipp path – invite to leisurely hikes.
