Auland can be explored through its named routes, memorial sites and wildlife enclosure. A running loop passes fields on the way to Reither Moor and Seefeld Wildsee. Another circular hike includes the Reither forest trail, the bee education trail and the village square. There is also a winter route and two distinct local memorial references. This offers specific options for planning a trip, with landscape destinations, routes and local history as separate points of interest.

Routes and landscape destinations

The Auland running loop passes through Auland and fields. It follows Möslweg, Mühlbergweg and Gstoagbergweg, eventually reaching Reither Moor and Seefeld Wildsee. This sequence links the name of the village with three named sections of route and two landscape destinations. If you are choosing a loop based on its specific destinations, the focus here is on the moor and the lake.

The circular hike from Seefeld to Auland & Reith runs through Reither Auland. It follows the Reither forest trail and the bee education trail to the village square. The “Around Gschwandtkopf” winter trail passes through Auland and Möserer Mähder. Its name identifies it as a winter trail; it adds another seasonally designated route with specific local references to the selection.

The destinations and route names provide a guide for comparing the routes: the moor and lake on the Auland running loop, the forest trail, bee education trail and village square on the circular hike from Seefeld to Auland & Reith, and Möserer Mähder on the winter trail. This lets you choose routes based on the local features that are of particular interest during your stay.

Memorial sites and local tradition

A chapel between Auland and Reith had to make way for the construction of the bypass road in 1963. The wayside shrine between the two villages was dedicated in 1984, the year of the memorial, to commemorate the chapel. The dates mark a sequence of change and remembrance: the road construction led to the loss of the chapel; later, the wayside shrine became a memorial to it. Its purpose is therefore directly linked to a specific historical event.

A wooden wayside shrine at “Gstoag” is associated with a different local tradition. It tells of a child who hid in a large pile of brushwood and fell asleep there before being found safe and sound. Unlike the wayside shrine between Auland and Reith, which explicitly commemorates the chapel, the story at Gstoag is about finding a child. The two memorial references therefore have different focuses: one concerns a chapel, the other a local tradition. The Auländer Kirchtag at Auland village square was scheduled for 15 August 2026, from 09:00 to 18:00.

The wildlife enclosure in Auland is also easily accessible by wheelchair. This specific visitor attraction complements the village’s routes and history.
