Kaltenbach: Leisure and Local History

Leisure Activities and Getting Around

The Zillertal-Kaltenbach Adventure Park has seven courses for all age groups. It can be reached from a free car park via a seven-minute walk. If you are travelling by car, you can use the car park as the starting point for this walk. The number of courses and the age-group information give you a clear initial overview of what is on offer, without implying any particular level of difficulty or length of visit.

Kaltenbach also has a bike trail. The Hochzillertal pump track is also in Kaltenbach, as is the Kabooom leisure centre. This gives you a choice of several named leisure activities, which you can consider according to the interests of your travel group. If cycling is of interest, you can consider the bike trail and pump track separately; the Kabooom leisure centre is another distinct place to visit.

Murmelland and the Zillertal High Alpine Road

Murmelland offers nature experiences at an altitude of 1,800 metres. It can be reached via the Zillertal High Alpine Road by car or bus. This means that both the altitude and the two specified modes of transport are relevant to your planning. You can consider whether a nature experience at this altitude suits your travel interests and whether you would like to plan the journey by car or bus.

The Zillertal High Alpine Road can be reached via five access roads, including one from Kaltenbach. This places Kaltenbach as one of the access points to the road. It is a separate point of reference from the journey to Murmelland: the access road from Kaltenbach describes how to reach the high alpine road, while Murmelland is described as accessible via that road by car or bus.

Mountain Inn and Local History

There is a marmot park with an adventure playground around the Kaltenbach ski hut. The hut itself is a traditional mountain inn with a terrace and wonderful panoramic views of the Zillertal mountains. The park with its playground and the mountain inn with its terrace and views can therefore be seen as different aspects of this destination. When planning your visit, you can decide whether the marmot park, a stay at the inn or the mountain views are of particular interest to you.

A specific link to Kaltenbach’s history is the beginning of the Zillertal’s medicine trade: it began in Kaltenbach in 1685 with the “Ölträger” (oil carriers). The place name and year make this historical connection concrete.
