Driving from San Leonardo towards Moso in Passiria, you reach the little village of Gomion with its 110 inhabitants. This is where one of the eleven Schildhof farms can be admired. These farmsteads were owned by originally poor farmers who were promoted in the Middle Ages by doing military service. The Schildhof farm in Gomion dates back to the Herren von Camian, whose most prominent representative was an illegitimate son of Meinhard II von Tirol.

A further sight of Gomion is the Maria Lourdes church. The single nave building dates back to the year 1891 and hosts a wood-carved Madonna in its interior.
