Follow the footsteps of the pioneers on the circular trail “Mutspuren-Rundwanderweg” at the Galzig or enjoy the gorgeous view over Flirsch and the Stanzertal valley, rewarding hikers on the “Kapellenrundwanderweg”. The theme trail “Schnann” invites you to dive into its history while the theme trail “Flirsch in alten Ansichten” takes you all the way to the Antonius chapel, built in the 1600s.

You do not necessarily have to explore the Alpine scenery completely on your own.
