The lido on the Gieringer Weiher is the only access to the lake. A very quiet place to relax and unwind. There is also catering available there.

A friendly, family-run establishment with a small but excellent menu of local dishes. From the top of the chairlift, you have to look around the corner to find the beautiful panoramic terrace.

The church in Oberndorf was originally built in the 15th century and has been expanded and remodeled several times over the centuries. Its current form is primarily the result of the Baroque reconstruction in the 18th century. Particularly noteworthy are the elaborately designed high altar, the fine ceiling frescoes, and the harmonious interior, typical of Tyrolean Baroque. The striking onion dome dominates the townscape and is visible from afar. The church is easily accessible by bike, and religious festivals and processions regularly take place around it, closely linking village life with its religious tradition to this day.
