Discover Ried im Oberinntal

Ried im Oberinntal combines historical discoveries with special nature and family experiences. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment can get to know the area according to a wide range of interests: Sigmundsried Castle tells the story of the past, the Fallender Bach waterfall adds an impressive natural experience to your travel plans, and Bibi’s Fairy-Tale Forest is aimed at families. There is also a well-maintained winter hiking trail and a guided tour of a sheep’s wool factory. This makes it possible to enjoy a varied stay without every holiday day having to be the same.

History surrounding the castle and monastery

An important cultural landmark is Sigmundsried Castle. In 1471/72, Duke Sigmund the Rich in Coin expanded it from a tower into a stately hunting lodge. The date and the development from tower to hunting lodge give the building a clearly recognizable historical dimension. Anyone who enjoys exploring regional history while on holiday will find a specific starting point here for engaging with Ried im Oberinntal.

The former Capuchin monastery also forms part of the town’s historical, artistic and cultural character. Its former function remains important: the Capuchin monastery is a former monastery. Together with Sigmundsried Castle, it creates a cultural focal point that differs from purely nature-based excursions.

Natural experience at the Fallender Bach waterfall

The Fallender Bach waterfall plunges noisily 170 metres into the depths over a broad rocky ledge. This makes one strikingly described landscape experience the focus. The Fallender Bach waterfall can be reached from Ried im Oberinntal via the Alpe Stalanz. This specific route connection is particularly helpful when planning your day: you can schedule the natural destination as a separate excursion and complement your stay with a scenic highlight.

Family-friendly trail and peaceful winter loop

Bibi’s Fairy-Tale Forest is a family-friendly themed trail with 17 educational and puzzle stations. The circular trail starts and ends at the tourist association’s information office in Ried im Oberinntal. This creates a clearly defined excursion with the same starting and finishing point. The 17 stations give the trail a playful yet educational character.

The Via Claudia Augusta winter hiking trail between Ried and Tösens has a different focus. It follows a well-maintained, paved cycle and walking path, is easy and pleasant to walk, and is suitable for a relaxing excursion through the valley landscape. Anyone who prefers a peaceful loop in winter to a themed family trail will find a clearly described alternative here.

Discover regional craftsmanship

During the guided tour of the sheep’s wool factory, you will learn how unique products are made from the wool of regional Tyrolean mountain sheep. Machines up to 100 years old, powered by hydropower, and a great deal of manual work are used in the process. This visit complements the landscape and cultural themes with an insight into processing and regional tradition. Especially for families, such a stop can offer a different way of experiencing the holiday destination than an excursion into nature.

Which accommodation suits your travel plans?

When looking for accommodation in Ried im Oberinntal, it is worth defining your personal focus first. If history and culture are the priorities, Sigmundsried Castle and the former Capuchin monastery provide suitable themes for planning your days. Families can include Bibi’s Fairy-Tale Forest in their plans, while nature enthusiasts can schedule the Fallender Bach waterfall via the Alpe Stalanz or the winter hiking trail between Ried and Tösens. The guided tour of the sheep’s wool factory also adds a traditional and regional accent to your holiday. This allows you to choose a holiday apartment based on the experiences that are particularly important for your trip.
