Discover Tösens: Culture, Trails and Regional Specialities

Tösens combines cultural and historical discoveries with trails through the landscape and special regional experiences. Those who want to shape a trip around their own interests will find various points of connection here: churches and chapels tell the story of the village, the Via Claudia Augusta appeals to cyclists, and a rafting tour leads through the Tösens gorge. There are also hikes, insights into earlier times and regional products.

Culture between the Inn riverbank and the village

An important cultural and historical landmark is the parish church of St Lawrence. It is located in the Steinach district on the right bank of the Inn, along the old valley road, and was consecrated in 1713. Remarkable vault paintings are one of its distinctive features. Its location on the old valley road also makes visible how closely religious buildings and historic routes are connected in the history of the village.

Above the village, St George Chapel above Tösens stands on a meadow-covered slope. Its interior is completely decorated with paintings, complementing the cultural impressions around the parish church. The Roman Bridge opposite Tösens is also one of the area's notable destinations: the old stone arch bridge is situated on a rocky valley slope. A narrow road to Serfaus once crossed it. When considering the bridge, this historic connection should be clearly distinguished in time from present-day routes.

Cycling, hiking trails and water experiences

Tösens lies along the Via Claudia Augusta long-distance cycle route. For cyclists, this route can be a defining part of their travel planning. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, your choice can therefore be tailored to the type of trip you want: Would you mainly like to be on the move, take in cultural sites or combine different activities?

There are also various landscape-related themes for hiking enthusiasts. A hiking route leads from Luststeig via Lustwiese. Between the municipal areas of Pfunds and Tösens, a hiking trail also leads near the high valley of Tschey into the Platzer Valley and Bergletal. The history of the former Platzertal mine can be explored independently. In this way, historical traces take centre stage alongside the experience of nature, without all excursions having to be of the same type.

Another option is a rafting tour through the Tösens gorge. It creates a distinctly different experience from a walk to cultural sites or a hike. This variety can be helpful for families and travel groups with different preferences: you can include active days, culture and independent discoveries in your personal plans without committing to just one type of experience.

Regional products and insights into the museum

The Serfauser Lauser Museum offers unusual details for a culturally oriented stay. The mill on display there has two mill wheels. The mushroom house presents native edible and poisonous mushrooms. These two examples make a visit to the museum vivid and combine insights into historic crafts with observations from the local natural environment.

Gerti's Ladele provides a regional addition. It offers schnapps, liqueurs, jams, herbal tea and grain products. The products are regional and organic. Those who also want to take local specialities into account when planning their trip can include this aspect alongside culture, hikes and sporting activities.

The right accommodation idea for planning your trip

When looking for a holiday apartment in Tösens, the desired mix of experiences should therefore come first. Those interested in culture can include the parish church, chapel, Roman Bridge and museum in their considerations. Those who prefer to spend time outdoors can focus on the Via Claudia Augusta, the hiking trails mentioned or the rafting tour. Your accommodation should suit your own pace of travel: will you plan varied days with several interests, or devote yourself to a focus such as history, cycling, hiking or regional products?
