Mühltal: Hiking Trails, Chapels and Tour Ideas

In Mühltal, hiking trails, historic buildings and various tour ideas come together. Anyone planning a holiday trip can therefore explore the area according to their own interests: on foot along the trail to Meißner Haus, by bicycle on the old Roman road or taking in the chapels, church and mill. Especially when a travel group has different preferences, this selection offers various options for planning each day.

Hiking to Meißner Haus

The hike to Meißner Haus begins at the paid car park in Ellbögen/Mühltal. The hiking trail runs along a stream and passes a chapel and an old waterwheel. This gives the route several specific landmarks that you can already take into account when planning your hiking day. The “Mühltal” stop is also served by bus 560. This information may be useful when considering your accommodation and planning your day, both for arrival and departure.

Another landscape landmark is Profeglalm, also known as Ochsenalm. It is located at an altitude of 1,809 metres on the slope of Morgenkogel. On the mountain bike route via Profeglalm, a section of forest road below the alp leads towards Meißner Haus. The route then changes to a blue-marked trail in the area of a nature reserve. The different sections of the route make it clear that on a cycling tour, you should pay attention to the specific route and the character of each passage.

Cycling Tours through Mühltal and Ellbögen

For cyclists, the tour along the old Roman road is a travel idea in its own right. It passes through the Ellbögen districts of St. Peter, Mühltal and Innerellbögen. Another mountain bike tour follows a route from St. Peter via Mühltal towards Profeglalm. This allows you to choose between a cycling tour with a historic route designation and a mountain bike tour towards Profeglalm.

Chapels, Church and the Schaumühle Mill

Cultural sights are also part of the character of Mühltal and its surroundings. The Florian Chapel in Mühltal was built in 1979/80. The Viggar Lourdes Chapel at the address Mühltal 52 is a protected monument. The parish church in Ellbögen contains a Gothic north portal as well as frescoes inside the church. These frescoes were uncovered in 1928 and during the last interior renovation in 1982.

The Hinterlocher Mill has a special historical connection. It was renovated in 1995/96 and opened to the public as a demonstration mill. Together with the chapels and the parish church, this creates several different points of interest for travellers who would like to discover not only outdoor activities but also architectural history and regional details.

The Right Accommodation for Your Travel Plans

When looking for a holiday apartment in Mühltal, you can first decide which focus should shape your trip. Anyone who mainly wants to hike to Meißner Haus will plan differently from someone who includes cycling tours along the old Roman road or towards Profeglalm. For guests interested in culture, the chapels, the Gothic north portal and the uncovered frescoes offer further topics to explore. The Schaumühle adds an insight into the history of milling to this selection. This allows you to choose accommodation based on your personal ideas for each day without limiting your holiday to just one activity.

If you would like to expand your search to other places, you can also include Flaurling, Hatting, Schönberg Im Stubaital, Inzing, Vals, Wildermieming, Wattens and Volders in your travel plans.
