Experience Ried im Oberinntal

When looking for accommodation in Ried im Oberinntal, you can shape your stay around a variety of experiences: historic architecture, an impressive waterfall, a family-friendly themed trail, a paved winter hiking trail or a guided tour featuring traditional regional craftsmanship. The documented excursion destinations differ clearly in character, giving you a clear basis for planning your days.

History surrounding the castle and monastery

Sigmundsried Castle represents the historic side of the village. In 1471/72, Duke Sigmund the Rich in Coin expanded it from a tower into a stately hunting lodge. The building’s historical transformation lies in its expansion from a tower into a hunting lodge.

Another historic site is the former Capuchin monastery in Ried im Oberinntal. It is of historical, artistic and cultural significance. As a former monastery, it belongs to a different period and category from the hunting lodge: the focus here is not on the expansion of a defensive or residential tower, but on the preserved significance of a former religious site.

The Fallender Bach waterfall above Alpe Stalanz

The Fallender Bach is a striking natural attraction. It plunges noisily 170 metres into the depths over a broad rocky crest. The figure of 170 metres refers to the waterfall’s drop and not to the length of a trail or any other route distance.

The Fallender Bach can be reached from Ried im Oberinntal via Alpe Stalanz.

Bibi’s Fairy-Tale Forest as a circular trail

Bibi’s Fairy-Tale Forest is a family-friendly themed trail with 17 interactive information and puzzle stations. The stations combine the route through the landscape with information and puzzle elements. The 17 stations connect the route with questions and puzzles; both are therefore part of the themed trail’s design.

The circular trail through Bibi’s Fairy-Tale Forest begins and ends at the tourist association’s information office in Ried im Oberinntal.

Winter hiking between Ried and Tösens

The Via Claudia Augusta winter hiking trail between Ried and Tösens follows a well-maintained, paved cycle and pedestrian path. It is easy and pleasant to walk and is suitable for a relaxed excursion through the valley landscape.

Guided tour of the wool mill

The tour of the wool mill offers a different kind of experience. It shows how unique products are made from the wool of regional Tyrolean mountain sheep using water-powered machines up to 100 years old and extensive manual work. The visit therefore combines regional origins, historic technology and manual craftsmanship. Unlike a circular trail or natural attraction, the focus here is on explaining a production process. During the tour, the material, machinery and manual work are thus presented in a shared context: the wool is processed while the historic water-powered technology provides the technical framework.
