ゴイング・アム・ワイルド・カイザーのおすすめツーリングルート

Ellmau is a municipality with 2954 inhabitants in the Kufstein district of Tyrol, Austria. The municipality lies within the Kufstein judicial district.

From 1523 to 1538, the Lords of Freyberg at Hohenaschau resided here. At that time, Münichau was a center of the Anabaptist movement, as the castle's owner, Helene von Freyberg, had embraced this faith and strongly supported it. However, she was ultimately only able to escape the sad fate of her fellow monks by fleeing. After her return to the Catholic faith, her sons received the confiscated property back from King Ferdinand. From 1538, Münichau was owned by Mattheus Lang von Wellenburg. He likely owed his position as councilor and regent of Innsbruck, as well as the castle, to his cousin, the Cardinal Archbishop of Salzburg, Matthäus Lang von Wellenburg. From 1580 to 1921, the noble estate belonged to the Lords and later Counts of Lamberg. The five-story building, damaged by fire in 1914, was rebuilt – one floor lower – by 1921. A major renovation took place in 1957, when the Harisch brothers converted the estate into a castle hotel. Münichau Castle remains a hotel to this day.

Mountain goats, a very busy spot in good weather. Accessible to everyone, including wheelchair users.

I can also recommend Helene’s Kaffee Werk.

A beautiful village with a large, free parking lot on the outskirts of town. Many cycling and hiking tours can be started from here. The cycling paths around Ellmau are well signposted.

Imposing church. The church tower can be seen from afar, and it's the symbol of Ellmau.

On clear days, an impressive view of the Kaiser Mountains with their striking rock formations opens up. Particularly striking are the Ellmauer Halt, the highest peak of the massif, and the elegant Ackerlspitz, which blends into the mountain silhouette further east. The steep limestone cliffs of the Wilder Kaiser rise majestically above expansive forests and green alpine meadows, forming a spectacular backdrop. The clear light and expansive views underscore the alpine beauty of this landscape – a place that radiates tranquility, power, and grandeur.

Absolutely beautiful view of the mountain massif
