Set in a quiet location near Vöran, the Timpfler Knott is an ideal rest stop for passing hikers. The seating arrangement was dug out of the porphyry stone directly, and serves as a viewing platform. This peaceful place is complemented by an enigmatic sculpture by artist Michael Fliri, which never fails to surprise observers: two gloved hands intertwined on a stick project a shadow resembling a wolf on the ground, which moves with the changing position of the sun.

The Timpfler Knott is part of the new circular hike Knottnkino³.
