A circular winter walk, insights into agriculture, and recurring village events give Hollenzen a range of different attractions. If you are looking for accommodation in Hollenzen, you can start by considering your travel dates and interests: the Hollenzen–Scheulingwald route is a winter trail, while the Hollenzer village festival and Klöpfelsingen are annual events. The show farm and show dairy complement these seasonal occasions with visitor activities and specific opening hours. This means your travel plans need to account for different timeframes: winter trail conditions, daily opening hours, and annual festival dates.
Winter Walking and Scenery
The Hollenzen–Scheulingwald route is a scenic, family-friendly circular winter walk through Mayrhofen and the surrounding area. The circular trail is a seasonal attraction in its own right, and you should check winter conditions before setting out. The terms circular trail and winter walk answer different questions: one describes the route’s format, the other its seasonal character. Scheulingwald is located in the municipality of Mayrhofen and has been protected since 1991. The combination of a winter walk and permanent protected status offers two different ways to appreciate the landscape and get active. If you would like to include nature and exercise in your stay, you will find both a winter walk and a protected part of the landscape here.
Agriculture Up Close
The show farm offers visitors a mini-tractor course, and they can also visit the goat kindergarten. These two visitor activities offer different experiences: a course and a chance to see the goat kindergarten. The farm also explains what makes hay milk from cows, sheep, and goats special, and showcases the role of bees. Hay milk and bees are presented as separate topics: the special characteristics of milk from three animal species are explained, while bees are a distinct subject in their own right. When choosing a visit, you can therefore focus on specific visitor activities or on the farm’s educational topics.
Village Life and Culture
The Hollenzer village festival takes place every year on the second Sunday in September. Klöpfelsingen is an annual pre-Christmas tradition held on the last Thursday before Christmas Eve. Songs and tunes are performed in the village square in Hollenzen. Visitors from outside the village also come to the square and spend fifteen minutes there enjoying the music. The two events fall at clearly different times of year: September for the village festival and the last Thursday before Christmas Eve for Klöpfelsingen. The Floriansbrunnen fountain at Hollenzen 100 is protected as a listed monument under an ordinance.
Visiting Hours and Getting Around
The show dairy is open daily from 09:00 to 17:00; the last admission is at 16:15. When planning your day, the admission time—not just the closing time—is therefore important. Check the opening hours before you travel so the visit fits your schedule. For another way to get around, the sightseeing train runs from Sternplatz in Mayrhofen via Mühlbach, Stockach, Schwendau Dorf, Oberbichl, Eckartau, Hollenzen, and Laubichl. The route may be changed by the operator, so check the operator’s latest information before your journey.
