Hiking between hamlet, trail and nature

The Urzeitweg is suitable for exploring the history of the Earth and also leads to the hamlet of Feuring. There, substantial farmhouses and the tall “village linden” shape the described townscape. The trail is part of the Brixner Wanderschmetterling, which consists of four circular trails in total. Those who prefer a thematic focus when hiking can therefore get to know Feuring via this circular trail.

The Brixner Gangl also has its own focus. It identifies the hamlet as a special waypoint and then leads along the Brixental Ache to the “Werkstatt Natur”. For planning your day, this route can be distinguished from the Urzeitweg: here, the focus is on the hamlet’s rural character and the continuation of the trail along the watercourse. The Brixen Running Trail also uses the Brixner Gangl and leads into the district of Feuring. From Feuring, it continues along a varied forest and meadow trail.
