Breitenbach Am Inn – Hiking, the Way of St. James and Chapels

Breitenbach Am Inn can be explored through a variety of themed trails: Lake Berglstein is a destination for easy walks, the Waldtal Circuit is an easy circular hike, and the Way of St. James runs through the Inn Valley as a longer section of trail. There are also chapels and a Baroque parish church for a cultural and historical focus. If you are looking for a hotel for your stay, you can start by planning your accommodation around which of these tours and places are most important to you during your visit.

Hikes: Lake, Forest and Views

Lake Berglstein can be reached via a wide forest track; the walk takes 30 minutes. The path is also suitable for pushchairs. The lake is also a waypoint or destination for easy hikes. This means you can treat the route to the lake as a standalone option with a specific walking time or include it in your plans for an easy hike.

Another option with a specified distance and duration is the Waldtal Circuit in Breitenbach: this easy circular hike is 6.26 kilometres long, takes 1 hour 40 minutes and leads through the forest, past attractive farmhouses. Its circular route, forest and farmhouses give it a different character from the described route to the lake. The hike to Plessenberg offers views in all directions. There are therefore different options to choose from: a circular hike with a named route, a lakeside destination and a hike with sweeping panoramic views.

These provide different reference points for planning: the section from Breitenbach has a specified distance and duration, while Glatzham is the place where the two routes meet. The Waldtal Circuit is listed as taking 1 hour 40 minutes, considerably less than this section of the Way of St. James.

Chapels and Parish Church
