Where is Namlos?
The small municipality is located in the valley of Namlos at 1,264 metres above sea level. It’s a side valley of Lechtal from where you can reach Namlos via Stanzach. You’ll reach Namlos via Berwang as well. The Kelmen hamlet is the connecting point between the valley of Namlos and Rotlech.
A village without a name (that’s what “namlos” means in German): How did that happen? The answer to this question might seem rather obvious but that's not the case. Even though some people theorise that the name stands for a “nameless village”, most people now believe it actually comes from a settler named “Amel”. This name then gradually turned into “Namels” until the town was eventually called “Namlos”.
The history of Namlos
Namlos was first mentioned in official documents in 1286. The valley was originally populated by settlers from Imst, so the alpine pastures all belonged to Imst until the end of the 13th century. The 8th of October 1930 went down in history as the day of the Namlos earthquake. 16 seismic shocks destroyed parts of the village. It’s suspected that the epicentre of the earthquake was located under nearby Knittelkarspitze mountain. It took until 1949 for Namlos to become its own independent municipality – before then, it had been part of its neighbouring town of Berwang.
