Bichlbach: Hiking, a swimming lake and guild history
Accommodation in Bichlbach
Bichlbach offers several specific reasons to visit: hikes with a variety of destinations and routes, a natural swimming lake, leisure activities and guild history. If you are looking for a hotel in Bichlbach, it is worth first considering which of these themes will shape your trip. The trails differ in their destinations, terrain and return options; there are also cultural and leisure attractions that can be considered independently of any particular hike.
Hikes with a variety of destinations
The circular hike to the Auer Waterfall starts at the eastern edge of Bichlbach. The gently ascending forest road leads to the waterfall. As trail conditions can change, check the latest conditions before setting out. The starting point and trail character give you practical guidance for planning this circular route.
The Panorama Trail runs from Bichlbach to Lake Heiterwang and is an easy hike through the valley. The Alpenrosensteig trail runs high above Bichlbach through alpine pastureland. From the Alpenrosensteig, you can return to your starting point in Bichlbach by the AuĂźerfernbahn railway or by bus; check the timetable before your return journey. When choosing a hike, you can compare the routes: a circular hike to the waterfall, an easy valley hike to the lake, or a high-altitude trail through alpine pastureland. On the Alpenrosensteig, returning by train or bus is an additional planning consideration.
Natural swimming lake and leisure activities
The Bichlbach Sports and Leisure Park has a natural swimming lake covering 1,400 square metres. The Flying Fox runs high above the park and offers views of the Zugspitze as you glide down into the valley. It may operate seasonally, so check in advance whether the activity is available on your planned visit date. Climbing equipment is provided on site at the high ropes course. As visitor arrangements can change, it is a good idea to check the latest notices. At the animal and play park, visitors can feed and pet the animals; the park also includes a fairytale world. Check the animal-care notices before your visit; the fairytale world may operate seasonally. For packing purposes, this means you do not need to bring your own climbing equipment.
Guild history in the village
The Guild Museum is housed in the Old Widum. It displays valuable objects and materials relating to craftsmanship and the guild system, documenting the history of craftspeople in the AuĂźerfern region. If you plan to visit the museum, check current visitor access, as the use of the building may change. Bichlbach is also home to a guild church, considered the only one of its kind in all of Austria. The museum and church offer different points of interest: the museum focuses on craft objects and guild history, while the church stands out for its uniqueness across Austria.
