Niederndorferberg is an independent municipality and borders Niederndorf to the north and east. When planning your trip, it is worth keeping the two place names distinct: the Margarethen Chapel, the local history museum, and the leisure and sports facilities mentioned here are in Niederndorf, while the Wildbichl adventure tour runs through Niederndorferberg/Praschberg. The cycle tour is therefore the specific connection described between the two place names.
The Wildbichl Adventure Tour
The Wildbichl adventure tour is a moderately difficult 10.0 km cycle tour that starts at the Niederndorf post office. From the centre of Niederndorf, it runs via Behamried, Pittlham and Niederndorferberg/Praschberg to Wildbichl Wildlife Park on the Bavarian-Tyrolean border. The sequence of places shows how the tour travels from Niederndorf via Niederndorferberg/Praschberg to its destination on the border. The start, intermediate locations and destination provide a clear framework for choosing a route; the distance and difficulty level are further practical points of reference. Niederndorf also has hiking and cycling trails and the Forstmeile fitness trail among its leisure and sports facilities. This distinguishes the adventure tour from these other trails: it follows a named route to a specific destination.
Culture in Niederndorf
The Margarethen Chapel in Niederndorf is a small late Gothic monument. Its net-vaulted ceiling and surviving fragments of frescoes are distinctive features of its interior. Four bosses from the parish church, dating from the first half of the 15th century, can also be seen in the chapel today. In a net-vaulted ceiling, the ribs form a net-like pattern, with bosses at the points where they intersect. This brings together the late Gothic architectural style, surviving traces of frescoes and historic elements from the parish church in one place.
The local history museum “Zur alten Schmiede” in Niederndorf offers a different cultural perspective. It focuses on traditional crafts and unusual objects, giving it a different emphasis from the architectural features of the Margarethen Chapel. Guided tours of the museum are available by appointment only. If you plan to take a tour, arrange your visit in advance.
Leisure and activities
Niederndorf’s leisure and sports facilities include a skate park, a toboggan run and a cross-country ski trail. Hiking and cycling trails and the Forstmeile fitness trail are also among the options. This selection includes both individually named facilities and other trails. When planning, you can therefore distinguish between specific sports facilities and the trails mentioned.
The WildschĂĽtz viewpoint adds another point of interest to the destinations in Niederndorf. It can be reached from the base curve of the Hechenberg toboggan run via a narrow forest path. Trail conditions may vary; take this into account when planning your visit. The planning information differs from that for the adventure tour: for the cycle tour, the distance and moderate difficulty level are useful, while for WildschĂĽtz, the starting point and the note about variable trail conditions are relevant.
