Feichten: Hiking Trails Through the Hamlet

Feichten appears in several hiking descriptions as a hamlet that routes pass through or lead into. If you are looking for accommodation in Feichten, these route details can help you compare tours by their sequence and waypoints. The “Westendorf – Hohe Salve” hike passes through Feichten and then follows field or gravel paths, as well as forest and meadow trails. On the “Am Salvenberg” hike, the route first follows a meadow trail through the forest from the Feichten district, then continues onto a hiking trail. The descriptions therefore differ not only in name: each gives its own sequence of trail types. This gives you a practical way to match your planned hikes with the landscape sections that interest you along the way.

Hikes and routes around Feichten

Westendorf’s circular trail – Route No. 1 passes through meadows and forests, past old farmhouses and through several hamlets, including Feichten. This route also reaches Haaskapelle in the Feichten district. The Westendorf circular trail also passes through the district and turns at Haaskapelle onto a field path to Straßhaeusl. The chapel thus features in two differently described contexts: Route No. 1 passes through several hamlets and past old farmhouses; on the Westendorf circular trail, the chapel is the point where the route branches off toward Straßhaeusl. If you compare routes using fixed landmarks, Haaskapelle provides a specific reference point within each route sequence.

The “LP4 – Dorfrunde” (Village Loop) climbs from the “Au” recreation area to the Feichten district and continues through Straßhäusl to Moosen. The “Westendorf über Hopfgarten” hike describes a different sequence: it leads from Westendorf via Straßhäusl into the Feichten district. The stated starting points and order of the places help you distinguish between these routes. On the “Westendorf über Hopfgarten” hike, it is possible to return from Westendorf to Hopfgarten by public transport. Check current connections when planning, as transport arrangements and timetables may change.

Winter Hiking Trail, Farms and Guided Tours

A specific route is also described for a winter hike: after crossing the main road and passing under the railway line, the winter hiking trail leads into the hamlet of Feichten. The order of these two crossings is a clear landmark for this trail.

The similarly named hikes “Am Salvenberg” and “On the Salvenberg” can be distinguished by their described routes. On “On the Salvenberg,” a path leads from the Feichten district via the Alpine School to the “Ledererhof” and “Thumerhof” farms. At Thumerhof, guided tours are available for groups of ten or more from mid-May to October. As the operating period may change, please ask in advance about the current offer if you are interested.
