The most exciting family hikes in Tyrol

Beautiful hike through the forest. Follow the road in the district "Mehrn", until the end of the road, to the gravel parking lot at the shooting range. Now follow the signs through the forest. A nice, shady path leads briskly up to the forest road, continue straight ahead, a short distance slightly downhill, then over a small stream the last 100m to Hechahof. There, the visitors can expect an excellent snack (bacon stew). The children can enjoy small animals and a playground. Return over the same route.

Rarely does one see a place that, whether in sunshine or in rain and fog, sparks magic. However, the natural monument Berglsteiner See is such a place. The lake can be easily reached in 30 minutes on the broad forest road from the Reintalersee parking lot east.More information: alpbachtal.at/de/sommer/badeseen-und-schwimmbaeder/berglsteinersee

The Kundler gorge is a popular destination for young and old. The wide trail is suitable for pushchairs and leads past bizarre and mighty rocks. The creek bed is full of rocks and especially popular with children for play. On strong rainy days and from mid-November to late March, the gorge is closed for safety reasons.

Juppi is the mascot of the Alpbachtaler family summer and is very popular with children. With him, they experience great adventures, such as in the magic forest on the Reitherkogel. Directly at the mountain station of the Reitherkogelbahn begins a two-kilometer circular walk through Juppis Zauberwald, which is also easy to walk with a stroller. At the various game stations, there is plenty of variety from hiking: The petting zoo is home to sheep, goats and chickens. On the giant trampoline you can let off steam and work out the balance on the Wackelsteg and in the Vogelnest swing. After the ghost moors, the stilt forest and the giant slide, there is the opportunity to shoot a fun memorial with Juppi on the photo board with the entire family. The real donkey Juppi, as well as monkeys, small animals and many play stations will then be waiting for the visitors in the nearby children's park Reith im Alpbachtal.More information about the magic forest: alpbachtal.at/de/sommer/familienurlaub-tirol/juppi-zauberwald

After the comfortable mountain ride on the Wiedersbergerhornbahn, the hike first leads to the summit. Back at the mountain station, an adventure playground awaits the kids with numerous play stations in the forest and on the alpine meadows. The gondola runs in the summer from the beginning of June to the end of October.

In the unique 3-day tour for families starting from Alpbach, the most beautiful village in Austria, you will hike around 19 km and 1,200 meters in total. Countless experiences are waiting to be recorded in the diary: from collecting stones, letting your feet dangle in the water, spending the night in the Holzalm hut, beautiful alpine meadows to spending the night in the Pinzgerhof farm and animals in the stable. The hike is recommended from Pentecost to mid-October.
