The Trojerhof, one of Bavaria's oldest mountain farms, is a place steeped in history, idyllic charm, and authenticity. About 5 kilometers outside Kiefersfelden, on a high plateau at an altitude of 656 meters near the German-Austrian border, it sits in a secluded location above the Inn Valley, nestled amidst meadows and forests, with sweeping views of the Wilder Kaiser.
The history of the Trojerhof stretches back a long way. The field name "Troi" is of Celtic origin and means "cattle path"—there is evidence of settlements here as early as 500 BC.
As early as 1140, the farm was mentioned in a ducal register of taxes as "ab dem Trayen," with tributes such as a measure of oats.
Over the centuries, the main building has been altered several times: The current main building dates back to 1689, after the old farm burned down. In the meantime, an outbuilding (the so-called "Zuhaus") was built in 1742. The Marienkapelle (St. Mary's Chapel), a striking building on the farm, dates back to 1649 and has survived the ages.
Today, the Trojerhof farm is a living monument to rural tradition. It is an organic mountain farm with an alpine atmosphere, with livestock (cows, sheep, etc.), forestry, and the preservation of the old farm structures.
The location and access are also distinctive: an approximately 800-meter-long mountain road with gradients of up to 25% leads up. In winter, the path is difficult, and snow chains or four-wheel drive vehicles are often necessary.
