Thematic route

The educational cultural hiking trail starts in Reith and leads through the two neighboring villages of the community, via Leithen and Auland, and then back to the starting point. Along the trail, you pass 14 historical landmarks that tell stories about the history and culture of Reith. This trail is a great way to explore the beautiful and historic mountain village of Reith bei Seefeld and is perfect for a family walk.

A fun quiz is also part of the trail. Each of the 14 information boards hides a specific letter. If you manage to guess the solution word, you can pick up a small surprise at the Citizen and Tourism Service Reith or the Seefeld Information and Mobility Center.

Station 1: The Coat of Arms & Ichthyol
Reith's coat of arms reminds us of a medieval legend. It tells the story of a duel between the giants Thyrsus and Haymon. According to local belief, the oil shale found in the Reith-Scharnitz area is linked to this tale. In 1576, a healing thick oil was first made from it. People called it "Thyrsus’ Blood," and it is still known today as "Ichthyol" or "Tyrolean
