Mühlen in Taufers: Trails, Gorge and Festivals

Mühlen in Taufers offers several distinct points of interest for planning a trip: an easy village walk, the gorge near Mühlen, a natural ice rink and Sogile Park. There is also a market in late November and the Pentecost festival over the Pentecost weekend. This combination helps you plan your stay around specific interests: trails and scenery alongside seasonal ice skating, an open space in the village and festivals held at particular times of year.

Trails, Gorge and the Valley

The easy village walk starts at the church in Mühlen. It leads to the Eislöcher, or a little farther uphill to the Antrische Löcher. You can therefore choose between two named destinations when planning your walk. Mühlen also offers hiking trails and sports facilities; the village walk is one specific option within this broader range of local activities.

The gorge near Mühlen is a mysterious excursion destination just outside the village. Several “Antrische Löcher” are located there; they are probably former exploratory tunnels. The site thus combines a natural attraction with a possible historical interpretation.

The locations differ: the village walk starts at the church in Mühlen, while the gorge lies just outside the village. The Mühlwalder Tal, which branches off from Mühlen in Taufers, forms part of the wider regional setting. Because of its two reservoirs and the “Magic of Water” museum, it is also known as the “Valley of Water.” When planning your trip, you can distinguish between these different areas: the village walk and the gorge are specific destinations near Mühlen, while “Valley of Water” refers to the larger Mühlwalder Tal.

Activities and Seasonal Planning

The natural ice rink is located at the festival grounds on Beikircher-Allee in Mühlen. From the bus stop, it is about a three-minute walk in the direction of the festival pavilion. The facility is seasonal, so check whether the natural ice rink is open during your visit. The Pentecost festival is also held at the festival grounds, but only over the Pentecost weekend: the same location thus provides two different reasons to visit.

The municipality presented Sogile Park in July 2026 as a new open space for relaxing and letting off steam. Its focus adds another leisure option to the walking and sports activities.

Festivals and Local History

Festivals also provide a specific timeframe for your trip. The “Kothreine Morscht” is a market in honor of Saint Catherine and takes place in late November. The Pentecost festival is held over the Pentecost weekend at the festival grounds in Mühlen.

The village’s character is shaped not only by its leisure activities but also by historical and architectural details. The name Mühlen in Taufers probably derives from the grain mills that once defined the landscape. The church in Molini has two naves; in other words, its interior is divided into two sections. The name’s origins and the church’s design thus offer two different ways to learn about the village.
