Terfens combines unusual attractions with clearly defined opportunities to spend time outdoors: Dinoland Tirol features life-size dinosaur models, the Planet Trail follows an easy circular route through the “Terfner Forchat,” and a simple section of the Inn Valley Cycle Path runs along the Inn. The Weißlahn swimming lake and several churches add further distinct highlights. When planning your trip, it helps to keep these differences in mind: exhibitions, walks, cycling, water and church services each appeal to different interests.

Unusual discoveries

Dinoland Tirol is an indoor exhibition with more than 70 life-size dinosaur models. Many are animated and produce realistic sounds; the number of models may change.

At the Upside-Down House, an entire detached house is furnished upside down: the living room, children's room, kitchen, bathroom and garage with a car are all upside down; all the furnishings are on the ceiling. Visitors can view the car parked in the garage from below.

The Planet Trail is a three-kilometre interactive discovery trail. Its easy circular route takes about an hour, is suitable for pushchairs and leads from Christ Church through the “Terfner Forchat.” The three kilometres describe the route length, while the approximate one-hour duration gives an idea of the time required—two helpful details for planning your day.

Hiking and cycling

Terfens has eight local hiking routes in three difficulty levels: easy, moderate and difficult. The trail options therefore cover a range of requirements; the Planet Trail is described in more detail as an easy circular route, with an approximate duration and pushchair accessibility.

The Tyrolean Inn Valley Cycle Path runs along the Inn through the municipality of Terfens. The route is easy and has no significant climbs, making it suitable for families too. This provides a cycling route alongside the hiking options, with its difficulty and gradient explicitly described.

A free, self-service ÖAMTC bicycle repair station is located on the Inn Valley Cycle Path in Terfens. It has a hanging rack, an air pump and hand tools for minor bicycle repairs.

Weißlahn swimming lake

Weißlahn swimming lake covers about 4.4 hectares and has two large sunbathing lawns. The lake and its sunbathing areas provide a distinct attraction alongside the hiking and cycling options.

Since 2007, the Weißlahn leisure centre has had a swimming jetty accessible to wheelchair users. If you are looking for such a jetty when planning your visit, this facility is a specific point of reference.

Churches and getting there

Regular church services are held at St. Juliana Parish Church in the Dorf district, at the Maria Larch pilgrimage chapel and at Christ Church in the Vomperbach district. The location details distinguish St. Juliana in Dorf from Christ Church in Vomperbach; Maria Larch is identified as a pilgrimage chapel. If you plan to attend a service, check the current times in advance.

Tirolland is accessible by train via Pill-Vomperbach station.
