Discover Imming: Hiking and local history

Get to know Imming through its hiking trails and early local history. Paths lead through meadows into the village, onward towards Schlitters or to the Ziller riverside trail; a cycling loop also lists precise turning points in Imming. This gives you a concrete choice when planning your stay: would you like to spend the day mainly on foot, by bike or exploring the village’s history? The different routes offer different kinds of guidance – from distance and elevation gain to a turn on the road.

An early mention and a change in settlement patterns

Imming is mentioned together with Reith in a codex from 976 belonging to Friedrich I (958–991), Archbishop of Salzburg. Imming is also considered one of two original hamlets that grew into larger settlements. The early mention and the change in settlement patterns shed light on different aspects of local history: a specific year and a development over a longer period. As well as its routes, Imming therefore offers a historical point of interest.

Hiking trails through Imming

The Bruck valley walk passes through meadows to the village of Imming and then continues through the village towards Schlitters. After passing through Imming, you reach the Ziller riverside trail before the Ziller Bridge. The route is 5.7 km long, with 65 m of ascent and 65 m of descent. Distance and elevation figures offer different ways of understanding the same hike; the route leads from the meadows through Imming to the Ziller riverside trail before the bridge.

Hiking trail No. 8 also passes through meadows to Imming. From there, it climbs towards Säulingerhof; the return to the starting point once again passes through the village. While the Bruck valley walk is defined by its distance and elevation, route No. 8 can be described by its climb towards Säulingerhof and its return through Imming.

Another hiking route is called “Bruck - Schlitters - Strass - Bruck”. It passes the Wetterkreuz and heads towards Imming, then continues to the Ziller riverside trail. The routes feature different landmarks: the Ziller Bridge on the Bruck valley walk and the Wetterkreuz on this route. When planning hiking days, you can compare the sections and directions described without combining them into a single route.
