Discover Uderns: Culture, Cycle Path and Family Experiences

Uderns combines remarkable cultural history with a wide range of opportunities for active and relaxing holiday days. Those looking for a holiday apartment in the Zillertal can choose between historical impressions, a family-friendly cycle tour, golf and regional discoveries. The different experiences help you define the character of your stay more precisely during the trip-planning stage.

Historical Traces in Uderns

A prominent cultural landmark is the Roman Catholic parish church of Uderns. It stands on the edge of the village centre in the municipality of Uderns, in the Schwaz district of the state of Tyrol. Its history dates back a long way: The church was first mentioned in a document in 1334. The tower with its pointed roof and the two-bay choir still date from the Gothic building constructed in 1498. The four-bay Baroque nave was built from 1685 to 1688.

The furnishings also make the parish church noteworthy for travellers interested in culture. The painted stucco work and frescoes inside were created by Christoph Anton Mayr and are dated 1771. This makes it possible to trace different construction and design phases of Uderns’ church history in one place. The image of Kümmernis from the Plunggen Chapel is now hung beneath the choir gallery of Uderns parish church and complements this historical focus.

Plunggen Chapel and Regional History

The Plunggen Chapel is located at the edge of the forest on the path between Uderns and Ried. It was built in 1438 during a plague epidemic in the Zillertal and is dedicated to Saint Roch, who is regarded as the patron saint against the “Black Death”. The chapel thus offers another way of accessing the region’s history: In addition to the architecture of the parish church, it tells of religious hopes and the formative events of the 15th century.

If, during your trip, you would like to explore cultural themes not only through major attractions but also through smaller historical sites, Uderns offers various points of connection. The parish church and the Plunggen Chapel each have their own focus and should not be combined into a single building.

Cycling, Golf and Other Holiday Ideas

For active days, the Zillertal Cycle Path between Fügen and Kaltenbach passes through Uderns. The route is easy and family-friendly, has no significant climbs, is largely asphalted and includes only short gravel sections. This makes it easier to choose an outing if you are looking for a cycle tour with manageable demands. The precise daily itinerary can be adapted to the age and interests of your travel group without committing to a specific duration.

The Zillertal-Uderns golf course in Uderns offers a different sporting option. The course has 18 holes and is designed as a par-72 course. Those who would like to combine cycling and golf therefore have two clearly distinct ways to plan their holiday days. The Kupfnerberg toboggan run is also located in the municipality of Uderns in the Zillertal.

Uderns as a Starting Point for Planning Your Trip

When choosing your accommodation, it is worth first organising the experiences you want. If historical buildings, regional history and a family-friendly cycle tour are part of your travel plans, you can consider Uderns as a base. For arrival planning, the 2026 timetable lists Uderns i. Z. railway station as a stop. You can take this information into account when planning your journey.

There are also specific places to visit for quieter discoveries: The Uderns library offers readers of all ages a selection of books and games, including picture books for children. The Gartnerhof in Uderns has a farm shop. This allows you to supplement your travel plans with cultural, active and regional interests without making every holiday day the same.
