Discover Auland: Trails, Winter Loop and Local History

Auland between Trails, Moorland and Wildsee

Auland combines nature experiences with small, unusual stories. The Auland running loop leads through Auland past fields and, via Möslweg, Mühlbergweg and Gstoagberg, finally reaches the Reither Moor and the Seefeld Wildsee. The sequence of trail names alone makes it clear that it is not just a single viewpoint that matters here, but the landscape along an entire loop. If you enjoy spending time outdoors on holiday, you can include this route in your daily plans and combine fields, trails and the two aforementioned natural destinations.

Another circular hike from Seefeld to Auland & Reith runs through Reither Auland. It also follows the Reither Forest Trail and the Bee Educational Trail to the village square. This creates different starting points for planning your trip: one route focuses on the moor and Wildsee, while the other takes in Reither Auland, the forest trail, the Bee Educational Trail and the village square. For families, this change between landscapes, trail experiences and a specific destination along the way can be particularly appealing, without every day of the holiday having to follow the same pattern.

Winter Trails with Their Own Character

Auland also offers a clearly defined range of experiences in winter. The W7 winter circular hike Reith–Seefeld–Reith is considered a cleared winter hiking trail. At the same time, icy or slippery sections may occur. This combination is important when planning your day: The loop is suited to a holiday in which you want to experience winter trails consciously and take the respective conditions into account. The “Around the Gschwandtkopf” winter trail leads through Auland and the Möserer Mähder, adding another winter route to the selection.

When choosing a holiday apartment in Auland, you can already take the desired focus of your stay into account when planning your trip. For active days, the various circular hikes and winter trails are suitable thematic highlights. If you prefer a more leisurely pace, the individual trail sections themselves offer different reasons to explore, such as the Bee Educational Trail, the village square or the landscape around Reither Auland. Specific accommodation should be selected according to your own requirements; the trails described above mainly indicate what kind of holiday day you would like to shape in Auland.

Places of Remembrance between Auland and Reith

Auland also has a cultural and historical side. The chapel between Auland and Reith had to make way for the construction of the bypass road in 1963. The wayside shrine between Auland and Reith, inaugurated in the commemorative year 1984, serves as a reminder of this chapel. Places like these give a hike an additional connection to the history of the surrounding area, without requiring a major excursion destination.

There is also a wooden wayside shrine at “Gstoag”, associated with the story of the happy discovery of a child. The child had hidden in a large pile of brushwood and fallen asleep there. The wayside shrine and the chapel, with its commemorative story, represent two different forms of local tradition: one a story from everyday life, the other a memorial to a building that disappeared. For curious travellers, such small stops can shape a hike just as much as the landscape destination at the end of the trail.

Tradition at the Village Square

The Auländer Kirchtag is part of the local annual cycle. It was scheduled for 15 August 2026 from 09:00 to 18:00 at Auland village square. Those interested in regional traditions can take such dates into account when planning their trip and combine their stay with a glimpse of the community life of the village.

The wildlife enclosure in Auland is also a practical point of reference: It is conveniently accessible by wheelchair. Together with the trails, places of remembrance and winter routes, this creates a multifaceted picture of Auland. A holiday apartment in Auland is particularly well suited to your travel plans if you would like to combine nature, local stories and changing excursion directions in one stay.
