A few steps - and you're out of Seefeld's village center and into the wintry nature around the Wildsee lake. A few more steps - and the Seefeld landmark is getting ready for a nice souvenir photo.
This easy winter circular hike around the Wildsee, Pfarrhügel and Seekirchl offers an ideal combination of relaxed walking and scenic highlights. The route is well prepared, has no significant climbs and is therefore also ideal for families and less experienced hikers. Particular highlights along the route include the idyllic Wildsee lake, which is often frozen over in winter and framed by snow-covered forests, and the Pfarrhügel hill, which offers a beautiful view of the surrounding area. The famous Seekirchl, a landmark of Seefeld, forms an impressive end to the tour. With its proximity to the village and short sections, the tour offers the opportunity to experience winter in Seefeld on a short and easy hike. Refreshment stops are available in Seefeld directly afterwards. If the timing is right, there are also the huts of the Seefeld Christmas market.

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.
