Discover Reith bei Seefeld
Reith bei Seefeld combines impressive natural surroundings with trails that bring culture and landscape together directly. The village lies at the foot of the distinctive Reither Spitze. From the village centre, trails lead into the Karwendel Nature Park, while the Schlossbach Gorge showcases a typical gorge landscape with small waterfalls. This allows you to tailor your stay entirely to your interests: with a walk through a special natural environment, a cultural hike or a tour of historic sites.
Moorland and trails through the natural environment
The Reither Moor is a particularly distinctive type of landscape. It is a mountain pine raised bog that developed from the silting-up of Lake Seefeld’s Wildsee. Anyone wishing to explore this natural environment on foot can reach a gravel walking trail from the car park on Scharnitzer Straße. The trail leads through the Reither Moor nature reserve.
The Schlossbach Gorge can also be included in a hiking plan. A hike there can begin at Reith bei Seefeld railway station and lead along part of the old Roman road as well as the Leithen forest trail. For a different kind of exploration, the Reith cultural trail is an option: this easy circular route begins and ends at Reith railway station. This gives you a clearly defined way to combine exercise with local history.
Experiences for different days of your holiday
The Bee Educational Trail is designed as a family- and child-friendly themed trail. For a holiday with children, it can therefore provide a distinct focus alongside the natural attractions. The Rosary Trail in Reith leads to the Frau Häusl Chapel and adds a more contemplative route to the selection. Which route suits your day depends primarily on whether you are looking for an easy circular walk, a themed trail, a hike through a gorge or a path to a chapel.
For further impressions in the immediate surroundings, you can make a note of Auland. The wildlife park in Auland is also easily accessible by wheelchair. This excursion complements the natural experiences with an option that explicitly takes accessibility into account.
Historic traces in Reith and the surrounding area
Reith and its surroundings tell their history not only through the landscape, but also through individual buildings and memorials. The parish church of St Nicholas in Reith was first documented in 1391. St Magnus Chapel was built as a Baroque chapel in 1780. In 1980, it was demolished and relocated in its original form 50 metres to the north, onto the hilltop.
Other notable memorials include the plague column in Leithen. It commemorates the difficult times of the Thirty Years’ War, when passing troops brought the plague to the region. The year 1611 is carved into the weathered column at the wooden wayside shrine at “Gstoag”. On the outskirts of Leithen, in the direction of Reith, there is also a striking wayside shrine known locally as the “Fat Tower”. Another historic trace leads to Abraham Schnitzer, who was the first to produce a healing thick oil in 1576.
Reith as a starting point for your accommodation search
