Vorderthiersee: Lake, Trails and Culture

If you are looking for accommodation in Vorderthiersee, you can plan your stay around different focuses: summer activities at Lake Thiersee, short or longer routes, a winter hike or culture around Sankt Margaretha. The options differ significantly in length, starting point and season. This allows you to tailor your travel planning more precisely to your interests without equating individual activities with one another.

Orientation for Planning Your Trip

A specific point of orientation is the Thiersee bathing facility. It is located at Vorderthiersee 31, 6335 Vorderthiersee. In summer, Lake Thiersee near Vorderthiersee invites visitors to swim, surf, go boating and fish at its natural beaches. When choosing accommodation for a stay during the warmer months, you can therefore first decide whether the lake and its listed activities should be the main focus.

The starting points of the described routes also help with orientation. The Thiersee Panorama Tour starts and ends at the Raiffeisenbank in Vorderthiersee. The Lake Thiersee Loop starts and ends at the Thiersee Tourist Information Office. For planning your day, you can distinguish between the two options based on their clearly named starting and finishing points.

Routes with Different Requirements

The Tiroler Traumfabrik themed trail is an easy, 7.1-kilometre circular hike lasting around two hours. It starts at the Passion Playhouse and leads around Lake Thiersee. This makes it a clearly defined longer tour for travellers who want to combine a fixed circular route with cultural references and the surroundings of the lake. The Lake Thiersee Loop, by contrast, is designated as an easy 2.2-kilometre running loop and starts and ends at the Thiersee Tourist Information Office. The differing lengths and designations provide an objective basis for choosing between a longer hike and a shorter running loop.

For a winter stay, an extended winter hike from Hinterthiersee to Vorderthiersee is also described. It ends at the Weißes Rössl bus stop. Anyone planning a winter day on foot can consider this route as an independent part of their trip, separate from the summer activities at the lake. The Weißes Rössl bus stop is a clear point of orientation as the endpoint of this winter hike.

Culture and History on Site

The parish church of Vorderthiersee is dedicated to Saint Margaret and is one of the sights of Thiersee. The first public Passion Plays were performed on a summer stage below Sankt Margareth Church in Vorderthiersee. Today’s Passion Playhouse was built near Lake Thiersee in 1926. These three cultural points of reference are the parish church, the first public Passion Plays and the Passion Playhouse built near Lake Thiersee in 1926.

The Tirol Film Studio is connected with the history of film. A total of eighteen feature-length films were produced there, including “The Double Lottie,” “Eroica” and “Bluebeard.” Anyone who wants to consider not only swimming and hiking opportunities but also local history and film culture when choosing accommodation can include these themes in their own travel planning.
