Discover Kleinarl

The Family Run at Shuttleberg brings together stroller-friendly paths, slides, a children’s trail and a low ropes course. In Kleinarl, the seasonal Champion Shuttle is available to families, hikers and mountain bikers. A well-marked hiking trail leads through the forest, with steep sections and many hairpin bends, past a waterfall to Lake Tappenkarsee, which lies above Kleinarl. The parish church and leather craftsmanship complement the nature and outdoor activities with cultural themes. When planning your trip, it is important to distinguish between the different types of activities and the shuttle’s seasonal operation.

Family Run and Champion Shuttle

The Family Run includes paths suitable for strollers, as well as slides, a children’s trail and a low ropes course. These features offer different kinds of activities: you can travel along the paths with a stroller, while the trail and ropes course focus on other activities. Individual installations may change. If a particular feature is important to your day, check in advance whether it is currently available.

The Champion Shuttle in Kleinarl is a seasonal lift service available to families, hikers and mountain bikers. Take its seasonal operation into account when planning, rather than assuming the shuttle will be running on every day of your trip. Since operating details may change, check the current timetable if your plans depend on the ride.

Hiking trails and lakes

The well-marked hiking trail to Lake Tappenkarsee leads through the forest and includes steep sections and many hairpin bends. It passes a waterfall along the way; the lake lies above Kleinarl. Both the trail markings and the described character of the route are relevant when assessing the hike: the markings help you find your way, while the steepness and hairpin bends shape the hike.

There is a nature reserve at Lake Jägersee, where swimming is not permitted. If you include the lake in your plans, do not plan on taking a swim. The natural destinations therefore differ not only in their scenery, but also in the activities mentioned as available to visitors.

Parish church and leather craftsmanship

The parish church in Kleinarl underwent extensive renovation and partial reconstruction in 1986. Its building history therefore includes both extensive renovation and partial reconstruction. This makes the church a cultural point of interest alongside the outdoor and nature activities.

Master leatherworker Bernadette Fritzenwallner makes custom-made deerskin clothing as well as deerskin pouches, handbags, small purses, mobile phone cases and other individually made leather goods. The deerskin clothing is custom-made; the other listed items complement the range of leather goods. If you are interested in a particular product, please note that the availability of individual items may vary and enquire in advance.
