Discover Feuring: Trails, Cycle Route and Rural Character

Feuring combines a well-preserved rural character with several trails and routes that offer different ways to experience the district. The hamlet of Feuring, with its stately farmhouses and the tall “village lime tree”, is not merely a place name on the map: the Brixner Gangl names it as a special waypoint, while the Urzeitweg leads here. Those looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Feuring can therefore easily plan their stay around whether hiking, cycling, running or making an initial acquaintance with horses should be the main focus.

Rural impressions along the Brixner Gangl and Urzeitweg

The Brixner Gangl names the hamlet of Feuring as a special waypoint. Along the trail, Feuring has preserved much of its original rural character. After the hamlet, the Brixner Gangl follows the Brixentaler Ache to the “Werkstatt Natur”. This sequence combines the impression of the hamlet with a section of trail alongside the water and provides a concrete opportunity to explore the surroundings on foot.

The Urzeitweg also has its own focus. It leads to the hamlet of Feuring and explores the history of the Earth. The trail is one of four circular routes of the Brixner Wanderschmetterling. This means that the choice is guided not only by outdoor exercise, but also by an interest in a themed walk. Those travelling with children can also consider the easy Westendorf–Schwarzsee–Westendorf family route as an additional option: it is 28.2 km long, takes 2 hours and leads through the Feuring district.

Cycling, running and hiking with different focuses

The Brixental Cycle Route runs through Feuring. In the district, this section follows a municipal road shared with other traffic. This information should be included in your day planning if you would like to use the cycle route. The Schwarzsee handbike tour also passes through Feuring along the Brixental Cycle Route. When choosing accommodation, the key question is therefore which route you would like to include in your trip and whether cycling or hiking should make up the larger share of your stay.

The Brixen Running Trail follows the Brixner Gangl into the Feuring district. From Feuring, it runs along a varied forest and meadow trail. This provides various options for active days: the cycle route, a handbike tour, a themed circular route, a hike and a running section. Another hiking option is the second section of the Hopfgarten–Fieberbrunn hike. It leads from Kirchberg railway station via Feuring, Winkl and Brixen im Thale to Westendorf railway station. The Hopfgarten–Fieberbrunn hike is accessible by train and bus.

Horse-riding experiences at Weberhof

At Weberhof in Feuring, beginners can gain their first experience on horseback on the lunge line. Group and individual lessons are then available. This complements the trail options with an activity offering a different pace. For families or travel groups, it may be helpful to first organise the experiences they would like when looking for accommodation: Should the stay be shaped primarily by a themed hiking trail, a cycle route, a hike by train, or horse riding? Feuring offers concrete starting points for this decision without requiring all travellers to follow the same daily itinerary.

Feuring as a starting point for planning your trip

The various routes make Feuring a place where you can structure your holiday days according to your interests. The hamlet’s rural character, the trails along the Brixner Gangl, the Brixentaler Ache, the Urzeitweg and the activities at Weberhof each set different accents. When looking for a holiday apartment, consider which of these experiences are decisive for your trip and which route you would specifically like to use.
