Mühlen in Taufers: Nature Trails, Water and Local Culture

Mühlen in Taufers is a place where hiking trails, local architecture and festivals reveal different aspects of a stay. This creates a diverse picture for you, combining activity, landscape, the character of the village and festivals.

Easy Walk and Activities

An easy circular walk through the village to the Eislöcher and Antrische Löcher begins at the church in Mühlen. From there, it leads to the Eislöcher or, slightly higher up, to the Antrische Löcher. For your planning, this means a walk with one starting point and two natural destinations along the same village route. Mühlen in Taufers also offers hiking trails and sports facilities. The circular walk is therefore one of several ways to be active in the village.

Natural and Open Spaces in the Village

The natural ice-skating rink in Mühlen in Taufers is located by the festival grounds on Beikircher-Allee in Mühlen. The natural ice-skating rink is about a three-minute walk from the bus stop, in the direction of the festival pavilion. The Sogile Park in Mühlen is a new open space for relaxing and letting off steam. In addition to hiking, there is therefore also a place for natural ice skating and a space explicitly designed for spending time and being active.

Gorge and Antrische Löcher

Just outside the village lies the gorge near Mühlen, a mysterious destination for excursions. The gorge contains several “Antrische Löcher.” These are probably former exploratory tunnels. This combines a distinctive landscape feature with a possible trace of earlier work in the rock. If you would like to combine natural destinations with a historical question, this special character is immediately apparent in the gorge and its Antrische Löcher.

The Village Name and Church

The name Mühlen in Taufers probably derives from the grain mills that once shaped the landscape. The church of Molini is a two-nave building. When exploring the village, you therefore encounter two different perspectives: the former influence of mills on the landscape and the concrete form of a building.

The Mühlwald Valley and Water

The Mühlwald Valley branches off from Mühlen in Taufers. It is also known as the “Valley of Water” because of its two reservoirs and the “Magic of Water” museum. For you, this connection with the valley creates a link between landscape and culture: the reservoirs shape the appearance of the valley, while the museum carries the water theme in its name.

Festivals Throughout the Year

The festivals also set their own accents. The “Kothreine Morscht” is a market held at the end of November in honour of Saint Catherine. The Pentecost Festival takes place during the Pentecost weekend at the festival grounds in Mühlen. Here, Mühlen in Taufers shows itself as a place whose culture is visible not only in its buildings and landscape, but also in its events.
