Discover Tieringen

Tieringen offers nature experiences, insights into former village life and seasonal activities within a compact thematic area. Anyone wishing to combine exercise, landscapes and regional history on a holiday trip will find several different options for planning their days here. Particularly appealing is the variety between longer routes around the village, shorter discoveries at individual points along the way and opportunities for winter sports when conditions are suitable.

Hiking with views and special points of interest

The 10.5-kilometre Tieringer Hörnle circular hike begins and ends in Tieringen. It leads through the Schlichem Valley and along the escarpment to the Hörnle viewpoint. Along the way, the listed stops include panoramic stations, the Hohler Backofen limestone cave and the Hülenbuch nature reserve. The route is therefore a good basis for anyone who wants to combine different landscape impressions on a hike. Take the length of 10.5 kilometres into account when planning your day.

The starting point of the Tieringer Hörnle hike is on the outskirts of the village, next to the car park at the Schlichemhalle. A barefoot trail there adds another activity to the hike. The Tieringen Panorama Trail offers a different perspective: it also begins and ends at the Schlichemhalle, first leads through the village and then along the lower tree line on the edge of the open Bära valley basin around Tieringen. When choosing your accommodation, it may therefore be useful to consider in advance whether a longer circular hike, a route through the village or additional time at the starting point best suits your plans.

The Tieringen forest educational trail also has its own focus. It leads to the area around the source of the Schlichem, where there are numerous benches, a view of Tieringen and a barbecue area. On the Interstuhl Trail, hikers can discover unusual seating objects at particularly beautiful points along the route. This creates various ways to shape a stay in Tieringen not only around one major tour, but also through smaller nature and landscape experiences.

Local history at the museum

The local history museum in Tieringen focuses on the history of the village and its everyday life. On display are craft and agricultural tools, farm household items, as well as equipment and objects from the fire service and from former club and village life. A visit to the museum complements the routes through the landscape with concrete insights into work, household and community life. For families, this change between outdoor activity and cultural discovery can be an interesting way to spend a day of their holiday.

Cross-country ski trails and ski lift in winter

During the cold season, Tieringen also offers opportunities for winter sports. The classic Tieringer Hörnle cross-country ski trail is just over 10 km long. The route can be shortened to 6.5 km via an access point at the car park above the Berghütte inn. When snow conditions are good, a skating trail is also groomed in the area of the classic trail. Anyone who prefers a shorter or longer option can take these different route lengths into account when planning.

The winter sports facilities also include the 400 m-long slope of the Oberstocken ski lift in the Tieringen district of Meßstetten. Its moderate gradient makes it well suited to families and beginners. When conditions are suitable, this allows for different winter interests to be accommodated: cross-country skiing on the trail, skating or first downhill runs at the ski lift.
