Discover Reith in Alpbachtal

Reith in Alpbachtal brings together a variety of travel interests: the Reither bathing lake is located in the village centre, the Rosary Chapel is situated on the Reither Kogel at an altitude of 1,100 metres, and the cattle drive passes through the village every year on the last two Saturdays in September. There are also trails, a herb garden, historic sacred buildings and the opportunity to pick fruit yourself in summer. When choosing your accommodation, it is therefore worth considering whether you would like to focus on water, nature experiences, culture or a traditional event day.

Bathing lake and mountain station as different ideas for a day out

The Reither bathing lake is located right in the centre of Reith in Alpbachtal, directly behind the church. The bathing lake includes a children's playground, a paddling pool, a diving board, a kiosk, changing rooms and toilets. Those travelling with children can plan a day by the water and choose between playing, paddling and using the diving board. Its location in the village centre is also a specific point of reference if you want to pay attention to your preferred location when searching for a holiday apartment.

A different type of experience begins at the mountain station of the Reitherkogel cable car. This is where the Juppi Magic Forest starts, along a stroller-accessible circular hiking trail with numerous natural play stations. The Panoramaweg toboggan run also leads downhill from the mountain station to the Hub Chapel; afterwards, it is a short walk back to the centre of Reith in Alpbachtal. Depending on your plans for the day, you can therefore choose between a circular trail with play stations and a toboggan run followed by a return to the village centre.

Accessible trail and Hildegard Garden

The Hildegard von Bingen Trail in Reith in Alpbachtal has been adapted to be accessible for people with reduced mobility. This specific feature can play an important role in planning if you are looking for a trail with this level of accessibility. In the Hildegard Garden, a barefoot trail and a massage path complement the facilities. The garden is a 900-square-metre display and relaxation herb garden. Alongside activity-oriented experiences, it therefore also offers a place where plants, sensory impressions and relaxation are the focus.

Chapels, church and views

The Rosary Chapel on the Reither Kogel is located at an altitude of 1,100 metres and offers a magnificent view of the Alpbach Valley and the Inn Valley. Around 6,000 pilgrims visit the chapel every year. Those interested in religious sites and scenic views will find a prominent point above Reith in Alpbachtal here.

The sacred buildings in the village also tell of different eras. The Chapel of Maria vom Guten Rat was built in the 18th century, while the Knolln Chapel dates from the end of the 19th century. The deanery parish church of St Peter was first mentioned in 1187. These three buildings each provide their own historical accents and offer travellers interested in culture several themes to explore in Reith in Alpbachtal.

Cattle drive and fruit picked yourself

The cattle drive in Reith in Alpbachtal is celebrated every year on the last two Saturdays in September. The festival includes a craft market and a food market, the procession and concert by the Reith in Alpbachtal Federal Brass Band, as well as the cattle drive through the village from around midday. Tyrolean specialities and traditional home cooking are also part of it. Those who want to shape their trip around living traditions and regional flavours can deliberately include these two September dates in their plans.

Floberry offers a seasonal addition: in summer, visitors can pick raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and cherries themselves on a fruit plantation. This is a specific way to enrich your stay with your own culinary experience without devoting the entire day exclusively to sights or trails.

Choose the right accommodation based on your travel interests

When searching for a holiday apartment in Reith in Alpbachtal, it is worth deciding on your preferred daily rhythm first. The bathing lake and its location in the village centre suggest a different itinerary than the Juppi Magic Forest, the Panoramaweg or the view from the Rosary Chapel. Travellers interested in culture can include the historic chapels, the parish church and the Hildegard Garden; for a special travel date, the last two Saturdays in September with the cattle drive are fixed.
