Discover Reutte: Museum, building history and circular walk
Accommodation in Reutte
In the centre of Reutte stands the Museum in the Green House. The building was probably constructed in the 16th century as a residence for a wealthy citizen of Reutte. South of Reutte, Ehrenberg Castle World comprises medieval fortifications on a rugged rocky peak in a narrow valley; the site also includes an interactive museum. The circular Planet Trail “Reutte Under the Stars” starts and ends at the Museum in the Green House. A different perspective is offered by the 406-metre-long highline179 pedestrian suspension bridge: from here, panoramic views stretch across the Reutte valley basin and the surrounding mountains. Reutte is also home to the Urisee Trail Area on the edge of town near the Urisee car park, as well as the Via Claudia Augusta Square, a rest stop and information point for cyclists on the approximately 700-kilometre long-distance cycle route.
Museum and circular walk
The building history of the Museum in the Green House dates back to the 16th century. A wealthy citizen of Reutte probably had the building constructed as a residence at that time. The museum is now housed in a building whose original function was residential. The circular Planet Trail “Reutte Under the Stars” starts and ends at the Museum in the Green House. This provides a clear point of reference: the starting point and destination of the route coincide at the centrally located museum. If you are interested in both the building and the circular walk, you can connect these two topics through their shared point of reference.
Ehrenberg Castle World and highline179
Ehrenberg Castle World offers a different historical perspective from the Museum in the Green House. Its medieval fortifications stand on a rugged rocky peak in a narrow valley south of Reutte; the complex also includes an interactive museum. The focus here is on medieval fortifications and a museum, while the Museum in the Green House is associated with a 16th-century building. Another, quite different option is highline179. The pedestrian suspension bridge is 406 metres long and offers panoramic views across the Reutte valley basin and the surrounding mountains. The castle complex and the bridge therefore have different focal points: history and a museum on the one hand, and a bridge structure and views on the other.
Trail area and Via Claudia Augusta
The Urisee Trail Area is located in Reutte, Tyrol, on the edge of town near the Urisee car park. No club membership is required to use it; it is free of charge. As access rules may change, check the current conditions before your visit. Via Claudia Augusta Square in Reutte serves a different purpose: it is a rest stop and information point for cyclists on the approximately 700-kilometre-long Via Claudia Augusta long-distance cycle route. This length refers to the long-distance cycle route, not to a single local stage. Check the latest details about the square before your trip.
