Beller Jäss

Bell

Behind the parish hall you can find the fountain with a jumping goat made of sheet bronze on a lava stone.

This goat is the "Beller Jääß" (Beller goat). Over the years, the goat established itself as a kind of symbol for Bell, since the goat (as a substitute for the more expensive cows) was one of the most common domestic and breeding animals in the community, of which many mentions were made in various places until after the end of World War II Witness anecdotes of the village.

In the course of time, the citizens of the surrounding villages were called "Beller Jäässer", because it was not uncommon in the region to give the citizens of the neighboring villages nicknames.

Tuffsteinzentrum Weibern

If you would like to learn more about tuff, you can find out more about this rock and its possible uses here in the "Weiberner Schaufenster" on the left. The path up to the right also takes you in just a few minutes to the open-air exhibition at the stone saw house, where, among other things, a stone saw and a crane clearly illustrate the work processes involved in the tuff stone. The tourist information offers regular guided tours to the impressive Weiberner tuff quarries and - like the local stone cutters' association - organizes hands-on stone hammering courses, in which individual works of art are created from volcanic rock.
