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.

August 11, 2025 The Filzenscharte has been significantly improved. You can now take the lower trail with your mountain bike (push your bike). Planks have been laid along the entire length through the moor, allowing you to push your bike easily without any incline. The fence you previously had to lift your bike over has also been removed and replaced with two removable electric wires. It's super convenient now. Please always reattach the electric fence! The walk through the moor only takes a few minutes. You can safely forget the upper trail.

Make sure your lights are in order. It is striking that the car drivers and truck drivers pass by with plenty of space, they could learn something from that in the Netherlands!! I am now using the Garmin laser rear light, recommended! Try to help oncoming traffic by looking far through the bend and signaling them that they can safely overtake.
