Discover Kramsach: Lakes, Culture and Special Excursions

Kramsach offers a variety of holiday ideas: at Lake Reintaler See, nature and activity come together, while museums, historic sites and unusual works of art provide insights into Tyrolean history and culture. There are also activities on the water and in whitewater. Those looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home can therefore take their preferred focus for the trip into account when planning their destination.

Lake Reintaler See: Lakeside, Circular Trail and an Accessible Hiking Path

Lake Reintaler See is the largest of the lakes in Kramsach and reaches water temperatures of up to 25°C. A hiking path runs around the lake. A special option for planning your day is the accessible hiking path at Lake Reintaler See: wheelchair users, people with rollators and parents with pushchairs can enjoy nature directly on the lakeshore. The path is flat, well maintained and has regular resting places. These specific features help you choose a suitable excursion for a holiday with different needs without having to commit the day to just one activity.

Tyrolean Farmsteads and Curious Grave Crosses

The Tyrolean Farmstead Museum comprises 14 original preserved farmsteads and 23 outbuildings from all over Tyrol. The buildings can be explored both inside and out. A 1.5-hour tour takes visitors through Tyrol’s historic rural culture. There are plenty of games, quiz stations, puzzles and interactive elements for children. This allows the museum visit to be combined with an exploration task of their own, while adults can gain an engaging insight into Tyrol’s rural history at the same time.

The Museum Cemetery of Tyrol in Kramsach offers a completely different cultural experience. More than 100 grave crosses from five centuries can be seen there, some bearing curious inscriptions. The ornate examples of venerable blacksmithing also feature sayings and earthy, warm-hearted words of wisdom, regarded as evidence of the Alpine region’s distinctive folk humour. At the end of September, the Tyrolean Farmstead Museum hosts the Great Parish Fair every year.

Chapel, Sculpture Park and Sporting Alternatives

Historic and artistic discoveries can also form part of your possible travel programme. In 1689, Brother Hilarion a Sancto Sebastiano built a small Marian chapel with a hermitage on the debris cone of the Pletzach rockfall near Kramsach in Tyrol. In the centre of the chapel on Hilariberg, beneath a canopy, is the miraculous image “Mariahilf auf dem Hilariberg”, a copy of the miraculous image in the church of “Santa Maria della Bruna” in Naples. Near Mariathal Basilica on the Brandenberger Ache, Kramsach artist Alois Schild created an impressive total work of art in the form of the Sculpture Park.

For active days, Sport Ossi offers river tubing on the Brandenberger Ache in Kramsach. The family tour is just over 1.5 kilometres long, while the “XL Action Tour” is 3.5 kilometres. At the whitewater sports centre, beginners can gain their first paddling experience; a beginner’s kayaking course teaches techniques and the correct behaviour in whitewater. Those wishing to include the Reintalersee via ferrata in their plans can reach the access path east of the “Kramsach Parkplatz Halbinsel” bus stop. From there, the path leads through the forest for 20 minutes to the belay point and continues to the starting point. A helmet, via ferrata set, climbing harness and sturdy footwear are required for the route.

Which Accommodation Suits Your Plans

When looking for accommodation in Kramsach, it is worth first deciding on the pace and focus of your holiday. If Lake Reintaler See and its circular trail are to be the main focus, nature and activity will take centre stage. For culturally oriented days, the farmsteads, museum cemetery, chapel and sculpture park offer different avenues of discovery. Families can combine the interactive elements at the museum with an excursion to the lake or a suitable activity. Then check the location of the available holiday apartment or holiday home against your own daily plans and the destinations you actually want to visit.
