Imming: Hiking Trails and History

If you are planning to go hiking during your stay in Imming, you can distinguish between the trails by their route and destinations. Wiesen, the village itself, the direction of Schlitters and the Ziller Riverside Trail mark different sections. Trail No. 8 also climbs uphill towards Säulingerhof. One hiking route is listed with its distance and elevation gain; these figures provide an additional basis for planning your day.

Choose hiking trails by route

The “Bruck valley walk” hiking trail runs through Wiesen to the village of Imming and then through Imming towards Schlitters. After passing through the village, you reach the Ziller Riverside Trail before the Ziller bridge. The sequence is therefore important for navigation: first Wiesen, then Imming, followed by the trail towards Schlitters and the transition to the Ziller Riverside Trail before the bridge.

The Bruck valley walk is listed as 5.7 km long, with 65 m of ascent and 65 m of descent. The distance indicates the length of the route, while the elevation figures add information about its profile. These are two different planning factors: you can compare the distance and elevation profile with your own plans for the day.

Hiking trail No. 8 runs through Wiesen to Imming and from there uphill towards Säulingerhof. On the way back to the starting point, it passes through the village again. In contrast to the Bruck valley walk, the defining feature here is the route to Säulingerhof and the return through Imming. The Bruck valley walk, on the other hand, heads towards Schlitters and joins the Ziller Riverside Trail before the Ziller bridge.

The “Bruck - Schlitters - Strass - Bruck” route is another named hiking option. It passes Wetterkreuz in the direction of Imming and then continues to the Ziller Riverside Trail. This route therefore includes both Wetterkreuz as a landmark on the way towards Imming and the onward section to the riverside trail.

Historical background

A codex from 976 belonging to Salzburg Archbishop Friedrich I (958–991) mentions Imming together with Reith. This reference dates from the 10th century and provides an early historical connection to the village. Imming is also considered one of two original hamlets that grew into larger settlements. These two details offer different insights: the codex mentions Imming and Reith together in a historical record, while the description of Imming as an original hamlet points to the development into larger settlements.

Getting there and getting around

A timetable valid from 14 December 2025 lists “Bruck a.Z. Imming” as a stop on bus route 633 and applies from Monday to Friday. If you plan to arrive by bus, check the timetable for your day of the week and travel date. This will help you coordinate your journey with your specific stay plans.

The “Road bike 13 Zillergrund reservoir” circular cycling route also includes a precise waypoint in Imming: at kilometre 9.4, the route turns left; after 50 m, there is another turn. As road conditions and signage can change, we recommend checking the route for your travel date and following the signs on site.

Further afield in the region, the cycling route also follows the L 294 for 3.0 km in the direction of Bruck/Imming. This detail complements the specific turn in Imming with a regional reference to the route.
