Discover Hatting

Hatting combines a rural village character, nature observation and regional traditions with special opportunities for active days. Farms shape the village, while the Gaisau in the Tyrolean Inn Valley places a clear focus on the landscape and birdlife. Those looking for a holiday apartment in Hatting can therefore tailor their stay to different interests: nature-related discoveries, local culture, regional food or a hike on the Hattingerberg.

Nature experience in the Gaisau

The Gaisau nature reserve is located in the Tyrolean Inn Valley between the municipalities of Hatting, Inzing and Pettnau along the Inn. For travellers who particularly appreciate landscapes and birdlife, the Gaisau is a notable destination in the surrounding area. It is one of the most important bird-breeding areas in the Inn Valley and also a significant resting place for migratory birds. More than 50 bird species breed there; over 140 species use the area as winter visitors or during migration.

These figures make the Gaisau particularly interesting for visitors who want to combine their trip not only with sporting activities but also with close observation of nature. Depending on their focus, it may make sense to coordinate the search for accommodation in Hatting with their own daily plans and to give nature, local culture and regional offerings different levels of priority.

Local history and rural character

The parish church of St. Giles is an important cultural and historical centre of Hatting. It offers another way to explore the village if, alongside the landscape and physical activity, you would also like to learn about the history of the village. Farms shape the rural village character and give Hatting a character that differs from a purely urban destination.

This combination can be particularly appealing for families: a stay can be shaped around nature observation, a cultural stop and regional discoveries, without the trip being limited to just one activity. The choice of the right holiday house or holiday apartment nevertheless remains a matter of the desired holiday focus and personal daily planning.

Bread baking, cake and farm shop

A special regional tradition is the invitations from the Hatting farm women to traditional bread baking. They take place on the first Saturday of every month. From 2:00 p.m., visitors can purchase baked goods over cake and coffee and watch the Hatting farm women bake bread. This turns a local custom into a specific reason to visit that differs from classic excursion destinations.

Obstbau Huber is also part of Hatting’s culinary profile. The business operates orchards and a farm shop in Hatting. Those who enjoy discovering regional products on holiday or supplementing the food in their accommodation with products from the village will find another point of interest here. For travel planning, the first Saturday of the month is a particularly notable date; the bread baking can then be included as a distinct focus of the stay.

Hike to Rauher Kopf

The “Rauher Kopf from Hattingerberg” route leads from Hattingerberg along a steadily ascending forest track to the unstaffed Archbrandhütte.

Mobility can also be taken into consideration. On a bike tour passing through Hatting, there is the option in the Inn Valley to continue by train. Buses run to and from Innsbruck on the Mieming Plateau. This information opens up different perspectives for travel planning, without every excursion having to be made by car.
