Discover Auland: Trails and Local History

Auland can be considered as a hotel destination through its specific landscape trails and local history. When looking for a hotel in Auland, you can first consider which focus you would like to shape your stay: trails to moorland and lake, sections with a forest path and a bee trail, or memorial sites between Auland and Reith. These themes give you specific points of reference for choosing the focus of your holiday. The following trail and local landmarks will help you determine which focus is of interest for your trip.

Routes to the Moor, Lake and Village Square

The Auland running route passes through Auland and by fields. Via Möslweg, Mühlbergweg and Gstoagberg, it eventually reaches Reither Moor and Seefelder Wildsee. The route connects the village and its surrounding fields with two named landscape destinations. The sequence is useful when choosing a route: Auland lies along the loop, with the moor and Wildsee reached later. If you would also like to plan your stay around the landscape, this route provides specific guidance through several stops.

The circular hike from Seefeld to Auland & Reith passes through Reither Auland and follows the Reither forest path and the bee trail to the village square. Compared with the Auland running route, it differs in its named sections and destinations: Reither Moor and Seefelder Wildsee come later along that route, while the forest path, bee trail and village square mark this one. This helps you distinguish between the two descriptions by their respective focus: landscape destinations on the one hand, and a route leading to the village square on the other.

The “Around Gschwandtkopf” winter trail passes through Auland and the Möserer Mähder. Its winter focus distinguishes it from the routes to the moor, lake and village square described above. If the season plays a role in choosing your destination, this trail is a distinct seasonal point of reference. This lets you classify the routes according to whether you want to focus on landscape destinations, the route to the village square, or a route identified as a winter trail.

Memorial Sites and Local Stories

The chapel between Auland and Reith had to make way for the bypass road in 1963. The wayside shrine between Auland and Reith was dedicated in 1984, the memorial year, in remembrance of this chapel. This establishes a clear chronological sequence: the chapel gave way in connection with the road construction, followed by the dedication of the wayside shrine in its memory. This story offers a specific way to explore the local past, centred on two dates and the purpose of the memorial.

A local tradition is associated with the wooden wayside shrine at “Gstoag.” It tells of a child who hid in a large pile of brushwood, fell asleep there and was found safe and sound. Alongside the dated remembrance of the chapel, there is also a story of an event. If you are interested in Auland’s cultural traces, you will encounter these different approaches: a memorial to a chapel and a local story about a child.

A Practical Point of Reference

The wildlife enclosure in Auland is also easily accessible by wheelchair. If accessibility at a particular place you plan to visit is important to you, this is a specific point to note. Together with the routes and memorial sites described above, it can help you assess Auland according to the topics that matter personally for your stay.
