Discover Flaurling

Explore Flaurling through its trails and local history: a short, signposted walking trail leads to Calvary Hill, while the ascent to Flaurlinger Alm follows several named waypoints. There are also chapels, Risschloss Castle and the history of Mair Mill. When planning your trip, you can choose between a walk with a specified distance, other trail destinations and historical themes.

Walking trail to Calvary Hill

Flaurling’s Calvary Hill is on a rise southeast of the village and dates back to 1824. Eleven Neo-Romanesque chapels with columned porches lead to the Calvary Hill Chapel itself. The walking trail starts in the village center, passes through the winding Mitteldorf district and the dense mixed forest by Risschloss Castle; several chapels along the way invite you to stop and linger.

Classified as an easy route, the trail is 1 km long, has 10 meters of elevation gain and takes 30 minutes to walk. Its length and walking time help you fit this short stroll into your day. The trail also connects specific landmarks in the village and mixed forest with Calvary Hill as its destination.

Trails to Flaurlinger Alm and Galtalm

The ascent to Flaurlinger Alm starts in the village center and goes through the hamlet of Schwaighof and the Flaurling Valley. It continues over the Kanzing Bridge and past Kohler Chapel to Alpine Club Trail No. 154. Check trail conditions before setting out. The route can also be ridden by mountain bike.

Another option is the Flaurling–Oberhofer Galtalm tour: it also starts in the village center and ends at Galtalm. When planning, take note of the named endpoints: the ascent leads to Flaurlinger Alm, while the Flaurling–Oberhofer Galtalm tour leads to Galtalm. This helps you distinguish between the two alpine destinations without confusing their routes.

Risschloss Castle and visits

Risschloss Castle is above Flaurling, near the parish church at the edge of the forest. It can only be viewed from the outside. Check this visiting condition locally before your visit. Its location at the edge of the forest and near the parish church also makes it easy to find on a map or when planning your trip.

Chapels, art and Saint Notburga

A mosaic of Saint Notburga was installed on the north façade of Ris-Schlössl in 1909. A mass in honor of Saint Notburga is celebrated every year around September 13 in the small Ris Church; the date may vary around that day. The dates serve different purposes: 1909 marks when the mosaic was installed, while the September date refers to a recurring annual celebration.

The Ris Chapel houses a Gothic winged altarpiece dating from 1510. Bärfall Chapel has been restored by the village community in recent years. These places offer different points of connection to local history and culture: a dated altarpiece, a restoration by the village community and the recurring September mass.

Mair Mill and local history

For centuries, Mair Mill in Flaurling supplied the farmers of Flaurling and the neighboring municipality of Oberhofen with flour for their daily bread. This means local history extends beyond trails and religious buildings to everyday supplies in the past. The mill’s history explicitly links Flaurling with neighboring Oberhofen and shows that the historical flour supply served both municipalities.
