Discover Napplach

Discover Napplach through its distinctive sights and landscapes: Marienkapelle, the Möll and Teuchltal, as well as nearby Danielsberg. When looking for hotels in Napplach, you might consider whether cultural history, trails or the high-altitude huts of the Kreuzeck Group matter most to you.

Napplach between the Möll and Teuchltal

In Napplach, on the Möll, a small road branches off southwards into the narrow Teuchltal valley. This gives the description of the village a specific geographical context: the river and the southern valley are two distinct reference points. Danielsberg adds another landscape feature, a distinctive cone in the lower Mölltal.

Marienkapelle and the “GehSpräche” hike

Marienkapelle Napplach was built between 1847 and 1855 and is also known as Rupbauerkapelle. This gives you both a specific construction period and another name to consider when exploring the area’s cultural history.

The “GehSpräche” hike starts at the parish church of St. Jakob in Kolbnitz and continues to Marienkapelle in Napplach. This makes the chapel accessible not only through its history, but also along the route of a named hike. If you would like to include culture and activity in your travel plans, this connection offers a specific starting point: the trail leads from the church in Kolbnitz to the chapel in Napplach.

Comparing the elevations of huts in the Kreuzeck Group

Feldner-Hütte is at an elevation of 2,182 m, while Salzkofel-Hütte is at 1,987 m. Both are Category I huts in the Kreuzeck Group. Their elevations differ by 195 m; with the category and mountain group the same, elevation is the clear distinction. Feldner-Hütte is higher than Salzkofel-Hütte.

Danielsberg: landscape, educational trails and history

Nearby Danielsberg is a distinctive cone standing 966 m high in the lower Mölltal. Stone tools around 6,000 years old have been found on the mountain. The landform and archaeological evidence offer two different perspectives on the same place: the cone as a prominent landscape feature and the tools as evidence of a long human history.

The two educational trails on Danielsberg are uphill hiking paths through tall forests. Clearings provide viewpoints and places to rest. The routes are characterised by both the climb through the forest and the open areas with their views. Trail conditions can change; check them before your visit.

Hiking trail and fishing areas on the Möll and Teuchlbach

A hiking route passes through riparian woodland along the Möll to the point where the Teuchlbach flows into it. Two fishing areas are also described, each with different geographical details: the Möll area extends for 18 km and ends near Napplach, about 300 steps before the Teuchlbach joins the river. The Teuchlbach fishing area begins at its mouth on the Möll and extends 4 km upstream. The information about the Möll gives the area’s length and endpoint, while the information about the Teuchlbach describes the distance upstream from its mouth. Rules and operating conditions for the fishing areas can change. If you are considering fishing, check the current information in advance.
