Those choosing Kleinarl for a trip can plan around a variety of themes: a hike to Tappenkarsee, a family activity at Shuttleberg, and culture and craftsmanship in Kleinarl. The experiences also differ in nature: an activity with several installations, a route with steep sections, or a cultural and artisanal connection to the village. This makes the choice more specific than a simple decision between a nature holiday and a cultural holiday.
Activities and hiking
The Family Run at Shuttleberg offers stroller-friendly paths, slides, a children’s trail and a low ropes course. For guests with strollers, the paths are a particularly useful point of reference; the slides, trail and ropes course are other specific leisure activities. As individual installations may change, it is worth checking the current offerings before your visit.
The Champion Shuttle in Kleinarl is available seasonally to families, hikers and mountain bikers. The three groups of users have different interests when it comes to outings, but the same seasonal shuttle service can be a point of reference for all of them. As operating details may change, check them before planning. This way, you can take the shuttle into account without assuming it operates year-round.
Hike to Tappenkarsee
Tappenkarsee is located above Kleinarl. A well-marked hiking trail leads through the forest, with steep sections and many switchbacks, past a waterfall and up to the lake. The trail markers and route features address different planning questions: the markers help with navigation, while the steep sections and switchbacks shape the route. The waterfall is along the way, and the lake is the destination. When choosing this route, you can take both the wayfinding and the nature of the trail into account.
For planning your day, it is helpful to distinguish this from the Family Run: would you prefer an activity with several leisure installations, or a hike with a clear destination and steep sections? The two options offer different focuses and can be assessed according to the type of outing you want.
Culture and craftsmanship in Kleinarl
The parish church in Kleinarl was extensively renovated and partially rebuilt in 1986. The year marks a specific point in time and two structural changes: an extensive renovation and a partial rebuild. If you are interested in local history or architecture, this provides a clear point of reference in time. It complements the nature and leisure activities with a topic focused on the village’s building history.
Master leatherworker Bernadette Fritzenwallner makes custom-fitted deerskin clothing as well as deerskin pouches, handbags, small wallets, mobile phone cases and other individually made leather goods in Kleinarl. The range extends from made-to-measure clothing to various personal leather goods. Alongside hiking and leisure activities, local leather craftsmanship is a distinct cultural focus. The availability of individual products may change; if you are interested in a particular item, check the current selection in advance.
