Thaur Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

On the edge of the Nordkette, about 250 above the valley floor of the Inn Valley, lies this picturesque ruin of Thaur Castle, which dates back to the 12th century. It was inhabited until the 16th century, after which it went slowly downhill, until at some point only the remains of the walls stood. Today they are secured and protected to preserve them for posterity. There is also an open air theater on the castle grounds today. In any case, it's definitely worth stopping up here for a quick look at the ruins and a glimpse of the Inn Valley. And if you have to do something: Up here there is also a public toilet.

Thaurer Alm

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Best way:
From Thaur take Langgasse, which ends in a paid car park where you can park easily.
From there on the forest road northwards, steadily uphill, a total of 8 hairpin bends.
In the uppermost area, just below the hut, there is a short, quite steep section with rough material, which takes a bit of strength, but can certainly be mastered.
Caution is also required on the descent in this area, steep, rugged terrain at the edge of the path.
All in all, a nice tour, exclusively in the forest, on a road that quickly gains altitude.

St. Romedius Chapel (Romedikirchl)

Highlight • Religious Site

The idyllic Romedikirchl church towers above the village of Thaur. The castle ruins are not far from there. They are located in the Karwendel Nature Park. Both can be reached via numerous hiking trails. For example, you can hike directly from the Thaur village parish church of the Assumption of Mary over the steep Stations of the Cross with its grottos and the romantic archway to the Romedius church at an altitude of 793 meters.
