Angath: Inn Cycle Path, History and Village Culture

Cycling along the Inn

The family-friendly Inn Cycle Path runs 211 kilometres across Tyrol. It mostly follows flat riverside paths and has no particular technical difficulties; there are some short climbs at the beginning. The 211 kilometres describe the route through Tyrol and should not be confused with a circular tour within Angath alone. If you are planning a cycling trip, check the current route, as route details may change.

Walking paths and directions

Angath can also be explored on foot: the village has walking paths for people who enjoy getting out and about. These local paths should be distinguished from the long-distance cycling route; no specific length is given for the walking paths. Their conditions may change.

The Church of Angath car park is designated as a car park for the Inn Loop. As availability may change, it is advisable to check before setting off.

History and protected cultural monuments

The village’s location on the Inn also has a historical dimension. In the 15th and 16th centuries, Angath was a centre of Tyrolean shipping on the Inn and shipbuilding. Tyrol’s three main ports were Hall in Tirol, Langkampfen and Angath. River shipping is therefore part of the village’s history, alongside the Inn as today’s point of reference for the cycle path.

Angath Parish Church is dedicated to the Holy Spirit. The Kammerhof inn, the Old Schoolhouse and the First Chapel of the Suffering Saviour, also known as Fürth Chapel, are also listed buildings. The Way of the Cross from First Chapel to Mariastein is protected as well. These different places and buildings give Angath’s history specific names without having to combine them into a single attraction. The dedication and listed status refer to different aspects of the local cultural heritage.

Nativity scene building and musical life

From September to May, the Angath Nativity Scene Association holds its “Kripperlehoagascht” in the association’s clubhouse on the first Monday of every month from 7 p.m. The programme also includes building courses for adults, where participants learn traditional nativity scene-making techniques and create their own individual scenes. Children’s courses focus on creative nativity scene building, age-appropriate instruction and a variety of design options. Nativity scene exhibitions are also among the association’s events.

The Angath Federal Music Band also shapes local cultural life. It performs at numerous open-air concerts held in its own music pavilion and catered by local associations. The traditional annual concert brings together traditional and modern brass band music year after year. These are two distinct types of concert: the open-air concerts and the annual concert with its varied repertoire.
