Kleinarl: Family Activities, Hiking Trails and Craftsmanship

Family activities, hiking and cultural attractions offer different points of focus when planning a trip. The Family Run on Shuttleberg, the trail to Tappenkarsee, the parish church and local leather craftsmanship give you a range of options for tailoring your stay to your interests.

Family Activities on Shuttleberg

The Family Run on Shuttleberg combines pram-friendly trails with slides, a children’s trail and a low ropes course. You can focus on different aspects when planning: the trails are especially relevant if you’re travelling with a pram, while the other attractions offer play and exercise. Individual installations may change. So check which attractions are currently available before visiting.

Champion Shuttle in Kleinarl

The Champion Shuttle in Kleinarl is available to families, hikers and mountain bikers. It is a seasonal lift service, and its operating details may change. If you’d like to include the shuttle in your plans, check its current operating status before setting out.

The main difference between the Family Run and the Champion Shuttle is the type of offering: the Family Run includes pram-friendly trails and individual leisure facilities, while the shuttle is a seasonal lift service. Both are relevant to families; hikers and mountain bikers are also among the shuttle’s users. This distinction can help you choose between leisure attractions and a seasonal lift when planning.

Hike to Tappenkarsee

Tappenkarsee is located above Kleinarl. A well-marked hiking trail leads through the forest, passing a waterfall on a partly steep route with many switchbacks before reaching the lake. So when planning, take into account not only the destination but also the route, including its steep sections and numerous switchbacks. The signposting and route offer different points of reference if you include the hike in your travel plans.

Visitor Rule at Jägersee

Jägersee is in a nature reserve; swimming is not permitted there. If you include the lake in your travel plans, observe the swimming ban as a firm visitor rule and don’t plan it as a swimming destination.

Parish Church and Leather Craftsmanship

The parish church in Kleinarl was extensively renovated and partly rebuilt in 1986. The year dates the structural changes, while the partial reconstruction was also part of the work. For cultural planning, the year and the nature of the changes are both relevant: they provide a point of reference in time as well as specific information about the building’s history.

Kleinarl is also home to leather craftsmanship by master leatherworker Bernadette Fritzenwallner. She makes made-to-measure deerskin clothing as well as deerskin pouches, handbags, wallets, mobile phone cases and other custom leather goods. Her range spans made-to-measure clothing and smaller leather goods; the individual products available may change. These cultural points of interest offer different experiences: the parish church centres on architectural history, while Fritzenwallner’s work centres on craftsmanship.
