Bichlach is a hilly landscape formed by glacial erosion, between the Reither Ache, the Kitzbüheler Ache, Schwarzsee and St. Johann in Tirol. This landscape creates a striking contrast with Reith bei Kitzbühel’s historical landmarks and varied activities. When planning your visit, it is worth distinguishing between the options by the time they require and the type of activity: alongside a hike of around four hours, there are outdoor padel courts, an indoor play attraction and winter sports options.

Bichlach, ponds and trails

The Bichlach area is a recreation area for hikers and walkers. Its bodies of water include Gieringer Weiher, which is open to the public for swimming on the Bichlach loop. The pond is also a place to relax. This makes it possible to enjoy the landscape either while being active or taking a break by the water. The Bichlach loop and the Reither Höhenweg are not the same route: the pond is associated with the Bichlach loop, while the Höhenweg leads through meadows and forests on Rauher Kopf.

The Reither Höhenweg is a hike that takes around four hours. Its approximate duration makes it a longer activity in its own right and helps with planning your day; no exact walking time is specified. If you plan to include a hike in your stay, you can allow more time for this route than for a short stop. Its landscape is characterised by meadows and forests, and Rauher Kopf is part of the route described.

Historical landmarks

Reith was first mentioned in historical records around 1190 in connection with its Baroque parish church. Münichau Castle was built around 1460. These details answer different historical questions: one concerns Reith’s first recorded mention, the other the date the castle was built. Together, they provide a timeframe for two prominent landmarks, though the two dates do not describe the same event.

Outdoor activities, indoor fun and snow sports

There are two modern outdoor padel courts at Reither Wiese. LISI World is an indoor play paradise covering more than 500 m². The differences between the two options are useful when choosing: one offers outdoor padel courts, the other an indoor play attraction. When comparing activities, you can start by considering whether you would prefer something outdoors on two courts or indoors in a larger play area.

Cross-country skiing and ski school offer different experiences in the snow. Reith has numerous cross-country ski trails of various kinds. The Reith ski school has an ideal area for learning your first turns in the snow. Their focus differs accordingly: the trails offer different cross-country skiing options, while the ski school’s area is specifically suited to learning those first turns. These details can help you choose a winter activity based on the kind of experience you are looking for.

Buy directly from local farmers

For some travellers, shopping for regional food is also part of their stay. In Reith, there are many opportunities to buy directly from farmers. Products on offer include bread, bacon, cheese, eggs, honey and meat. The selection ranges from bread and eggs to cheese, bacon, honey and meat, making direct shopping a practical addition to your travel plans. Along with the trails, pond and leisure activities, this aspect offers another way to experience the village: in addition to excursions and activities, you can also buy food directly from farmers.
