Discover Schlins: Chapel, Castle and Adventure Trail

If you choose a hotel destination based on specific interests, Schlins offers several options: historic buildings, a walk for children and families, and a culinary connection. St. Anne’s Chapel, the parish church and Jagdberg Castle represent different aspects of the town’s history. Kili’s Adventure Trail offers a different focus with its walk of about an hour. You can therefore choose your destination based on whether cultural history or a family-friendly trail should shape your stay.

Chapel, Church and Castle

St. Anne’s Chapel in Schlins is over 500 years old and is a listed monument. It houses the Three Kings Altar dating from 1481 and an epitaph of the Altmannshausen family. The chapel thus brings together several historical layers: its age refers to the building, the year 1481 to the altar, and the name Altmannshausen to the epitaph. An epitaph is a memorial; the term helps distinguish this piece as part of the furnishings from a standalone building. For those interested in cultural history, the focus is therefore not solely on the chapel’s age, but also on its specifically named furnishings.

Schlins Parish Church is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of Mary and is listed as a protected monument in the 2026 Vorarlberg monument register. It is located at Hauptstrasse 85, 6824 Schlins. Its dedication, protected status and address place it in different contexts: the dedication identifies its religious connection, the protected status its monument designation, and the address a specific point of reference. Jagdberg Castle was built by the Counts of Montfort-Feldkirch in the 13th century. This adds another historical landmark alongside the two ecclesiastical buildings. The chronological comparison is specific: the castle was built in the 13th century, while the altar bears the date 1481. The building history and sacred furnishings thus offer different perspectives on the history of Schlins.

Kili’s Adventure Trail

Kili’s Adventure Trail is a walk of about an hour for children and families. Along the 16 panels, the trail presents either a picture-book story or thematic prompts. The duration and design answer different questions: the approximate time helps you fit it into your travel plans, while the panels provide the thematic framework. This makes the adventure trail a different kind of attraction from the historic buildings, where age, dedication, protected status and furnishings are relevant. If you would like to include a defined-length walk with children as well as cultural history, this offers a distinct focus.

The adventure trail is accessible and suitable for bicycles, strollers and wheelchairs. These features complement the description of its target audience: children and families are the expressly named users, while bicycles, strollers and wheelchairs indicate specific suitable ways of using the trail. This distinction is useful when planning, since target audience, accessibility and means of transport describe different aspects of the walk. You can therefore assess it not only by its theme, but also by the features that matter to you.

Products from the village dairy

The Käslädele shop sells products made by the village dairy. This adds a culinary connection, distinct from the historic buildings and the walk: the focus is on the dairy’s products. If culinary interests are relevant to your trip, this offers a separate point of interest alongside history and family activities.
