Bschlaber song

A song was written about the small town of Bschlabs. The melody and the text submitted by Gerhard Hackenbuchner. Text of native song:

There are at quiet spot in the beautiful Tyrol,
That is the Bschlabsertal because you really feel comfortable.
Where the cuckoo calls and where the chamois jumps,
Yes there is Bschlabs, completely surrounded by mountains.

(Refrain)

Will you come forth from Reutte, so moving towards the Lech Valley,
Bloom on this beautiful journey, as you can see flowers.
Are you at Elmen then, my friend pass on,
It is left up to the Hahntennjoch.

Refrain: There are at quiet spot ...

Now it goes uphill, on rocks along,
You see the Enzian on mountainside.
Then a church appears before your eyes,
A bell rings and you're at home

Refrain: There are at quiet spot ...

Here you can go hiking, uphill and downhill,
And look of the peaks, the valley you down.
In the evening, visit the "coziness"
A snack, beer, music and merriment.

Refrain: There are at quiet spot ...
