Herkuleshof, a century-old hunting lodge transformed into a romantic hideaway, stands atop a 950-metre peak, Danielsberg, in the middle of a valley framed by 2000-metre mountains. The inn's name gives a clue to the multilayered history of our mystical mountain, as the god Herkules himself is part of our story. The Romans built a temple to him on the summit, no doubt impressing Herkules with the magnificent panorama of the Möll Valley below. Stones and an inscription from the temple can be seen to this day, as they were incorporated into the picturesque 12th-century Catholic Church of St George that now presides over that panorama. Nearby, mysterious circular depressions in a large flat rock recall Celtic ceremonies predating the Romans, and the name of our mountain itself conjures the prophet of the Old Testament's Book of Daniel, to whom the original 5th-century church on the summit was dedicated
