Kirchdorf in Tirol

Village at the foot of the Kaiser mountains with gorge, lake and spa

Kirchdorf in Tirol lies at about 640 m at the foot of the Kaiser mountains, between the Kaiserwinkl, the Pillerseetal and St. Johann in Tirol. Around 2,300 people live here. The village is a good base for anyone who wants to explore the nature of the Wilder Kaiser without the crowds of the big resorts.

Among the best-known outings are the Kaiserbachtal, the Teufelsgasse and the river adventure trail along the Großache. The Hintersteiner See is also very popular with families, a bathing lake with clear water and a beach area in the Wilder Kaiser nature reserve. In the village itself, the Kaiserquell wellness centre offers an outdoor pool and saunas, among other things.

In summer there are plenty of walking, mountain-bike and climbing routes, plus high ropes courses and swimming spots for children. Kirchdorf suits families who want to combine nature, water and a calm atmosphere, and who may add a day trip to St. Johann or Kufstein.
