Brixental and Kitzbühel Alps
Oberndorf in Tirol
Quiet village below the Kitzbüheler Horn with an outdoor pool and walking trails
Oberndorf in Tirol lies at roughly 687 m in the Leukental valley, between the Kitzbüheler Horn and the Kaiser mountains. It is a quiet village of about 2,000 residents, close to Kitzbühel and St. Johann in Tirol. The municipal area rises up to the slopes of the Kitzbüheler Horn, one of the best-known mountains in the Kitzbühel Alps.
The village has a few distinctive sights. At the Müllnerhof stands an exceptionally large wooden fountain, carved from a single big tree. The local mining past on the Rerobichl is a reminder that silver and copper were extracted here for centuries. The parish church and several chapels are listed monuments that are worth a look.
In summer the Bichlachbad, an outdoor pool with a large sunbathing lawn and a long water slide, is a firm favourite with children. Walkers will find trails towards the Kitzbüheler Horn, with views of the Wilder Kaiser, the Hohe Tauern and the Karwendel. Oberndorf suits families who want to combine a relaxed day with swimming, a walk and a visit to nearby Kitzbühel.
