Discover Mühlbach Am Hochkönig

Mühlbach am Hochkönig combines an exceptional mining heritage with trails and excursion destinations that can be incorporated into your travel plans in different ways depending on your interests. At the Mining Museum and show mine, you can encounter evidence of a mining history dating back 5,000 years. At the same time, trails and activities around the Arthurhaus lead to further discoveries for a varied vacation.

Mining heritage between the museum and the Erzweg trail

If you would like to experience culture beyond indoor spaces, you can make the Mitterberg Erzweg the focus of a day. This themed trail explores the region’s historic mining and prehistoric copper mining. It runs between Mühlbach and the Arthurhaus on Mitterberg; either location can serve as the starting or ending point. This allows you to fit the hike into your own daily plans without having to commit to just one direction.

The Mining Museum and show mine offer an additional perspective on this subject. Guided tours of the Mining Museum and show mine are available by prior appointment. If you would prefer to learn about the background with a guide, you should include this appointment in your plans in advance. This creates a cultural and historical focus combining the museum, show mine and Erzweg trail, with different ways of exploring the subject.

Excursions around the Arthurhaus

At the Arthurhaus, Manfred’s mountain playground is an excursion destination with swings, slides and a zip line. Use is free of charge; you do not need to purchase a lift ticket beforehand. For families, this can therefore be an independent item on the itinerary that can be enjoyed without taking a lift.

The Mountain village of animals includes a marmot enclosure near the Arthurhaus. The panoramic cross-country ski trail also starts directly behind the Arthurhaus. Depending on how you would like to spend your day, you can focus on playful experiences, observing animals or a sporting activity. From Mühlbach, the Karbachalm cable car takes you to Toni’s Almspielplatz. From the terrace of the Karbachalm, there is an unobstructed view of the climbing tower, sandpit and water playground at Toni’s Almspielplatz.

Discovering water and landscapes mindfully

The Riedinger waterfalls are a striking natural feature. Their water seeps into the ground, re-emerges a few metres lower as the Schrammbach and flows into the Mühlbach in the village area. This sequence makes the watercourse itself an interesting detail of an excursion and complements the cultural and historical themes with an observation of nature.

Which accommodation suits your travel plans?

When looking for a holiday apartment in Mühlbach Am Hochkönig, it is worth first deciding on your preferred focus. Mühlbach is a starting or ending point of the Mitterberg Erzweg and also the place from which the Karbachalm cable car takes you to Toni’s Almspielplatz. If mining heritage and the Erzweg trail are the main focus, the museum, show mine and trail can be planned together. For days with children, on the other hand, the destinations around the Arthurhaus and Karbachalm provide useful points of reference for planning excursions. A holiday apartment or holiday home should above all suit your preferred balance of culture, nature, activity and play.
