Stumm: Culture, Water Park and Winter Hiking

Stumm offers several concrete starting points for planning a trip: historic architecture and art, the Stummer Schrei summer festival, the water park and a winter hiking trail along the Ziller. If you are looking for hotels in Stumm, your reason for visiting can help you decide. A festival visit depends on the program for the year in question; for a winter hike, the winter trail is the seasonal option. This lets you match your travel dates to the focus that matters to you.

Cultural history and festival program

Schloß Stumm was built around 1550. The frescoes in St. Rupert's Parish Church in Stumm were painted by Christof Anton Mayr and date from around 1765. The castle draws attention to the period of its construction, while the frescoes highlight the artist and the time they were created. The frescoes were painted about two centuries after the castle was built. These two historical points of interest add architectural and art history to a stay focused on culture.

The International Stummer Schrei Cultural Festival takes place every summer in the municipality of Stumm in the Zillertal. The program includes theatrical performances, exhibitions, concerts, readings and film screenings. The individual events vary. If you want to plan your trip around a particular performance or exhibition, check the dates in that year's program in advance. This helps distinguish the festival's general summer season from its specific events.

Bochra Lake and water park

Bochra Lake is a fishpond of about one hectare in Stumm, located directly on the Zillertal Cycle Path. Stumm Water Park offers a different focus: it has swimming and sports pools, as well as a leisure pool with a water slide. This distinction is useful when planning: Bochra Lake is a fishpond on the cycle path, while the water park brings together the pools mentioned above. If water is part of your trip, you can choose between a pond directly connected to the cycle path and swimming and leisure pools.

Winter hiking trail along the Ziller

The “Stumm – Kaltenbach – Stumm” winter hiking trail starts and ends at the municipal building in Stumm, Dorfstraße 29, 6275 Stumm, and runs along the Ziller River. The municipal building provides a clearly identified starting and ending point for orientation, while the river is the route's landscape reference. For anyone making hiking the focus of their trip, this gives a specific starting point and a described route.

Plan your travel dates and hotel search

Two different seasonal options are central to choosing your travel dates: the festival takes place every summer, while the trail is a winter hiking route. This contrast can help with a practical decision: would you like to plan your trip around a summer cultural program or a winter hike? The castle and frescoes add cultural and historical themes to the options, while the water park offers another specific focus with its various pools.
