Description

Picturesque winter landscapes, snow-covered lakeside paths, and some of the region’s most beautiful highlights – this relaxed loop through Seefeld is a must for leisurely hikers.

Over nearly 3 kilometers, you'll walk from the historic village square along the scenic lakeside promenade, through wintery forests, and finally to the famous Seekirchl. It’s worth pausing occasionally to take in the winter beauty of Tyrol's high plateau.

The starting point is right at the Parish Church of St. Oswald in Seefeld’s center. From here, the path leads through the charming village streets, past beautiful decorative mural painting, to the lakeside promenade. Along the lakeshore, you’ll walk through snowy banks, where squirrels are often spotted even in winter. After a short forest section, the path circles back toward the center. During the winter months, Seefeld’s Christmas market on the village square offers delights like Kiachl (a traditional fried pastry), mulled wine, and other treats to enjoy. Refreshed, you can continue up the scenic Parish Hill to Seefeld’s iconic landmark, the Seekirchl. Especially in winter, this baroque postcard scene is a real treat for the eyes. With many new impressions and memories, the final steps lead back to the starting point.
