Eiselfing: Murner Filz, Church Art and Active Days

Eiselfing combines a protected moorland and lake landscape with church art, architectural history and active day-trip destinations. Murner Filz and Lake Eiselfing give the area a distinctive connection to nature; walking trails, a nature trail and opportunities for exercise add to the picture. This lets you shape your stay around different interests rather than focusing on just one kind of excursion.

Protected landscape at Murner Filz and Lake Eiselfing

Murner Filz is part of the “Murn, Murner Filz and Lake Eiselfing” FFH area. The protected area covers more than 500 hectares in total; Murner Filz is under special protection. Rare yellow-bellied toads and great crested newts live here. The wildlife is as much a part of the landscape as the plant life, which you can discover along the walking trails.

Lake Eiselfing is also part of the same FFH area and is specially protected as a habitat for animals and plants. Hikes and walks along the Murn and through Murner Filz combine peace and relaxation with ecological insights. If you prefer to explore on foot and experience nature as more than just a backdrop, this part of Eiselfing offers a distinct focus for your time here.

Church Art and Architectural History

The rectory, built in 1888/1889, is part of the town’s cultural history. This two-storey solid building has a pitched roof, a raised knee wall and a structured façade, and is listed as a historic monument. Its architectural form and precise dating make the building a tangible example of Eiselfing’s architectural history.

A visit to Eiselfing also offers the opportunity to stop by the parish church of St Rupert. A Pietà stands at the left side altar. Its signature and the date 1758 on the back identify it as a work by Ignaz Günther. Those interested in sacred art will find a specific detail here that can be appreciated alongside the town’s older architectural history.

Nature Trail, Circular Tour and Activities

The nature trail along the Schwarzmoosbach features more than 100 native and non-native tree species, an unusual wooden bridge and two children’s playgrounds. The combination of nature-themed features and play areas makes the trail a good option for a family outing. The Eiselfinger Hoamatrundn takes a varied route through the municipality; a children’s quiz accompanies the tour, and information boards at selected points provide additional details.

The two options suit different styles of outing: the nature trail brings together trees, a bridge and playgrounds, while the Hoamatrundn offers a circular tour through Eiselfing with a quiz and information boards. This way, you can make either a nature trail or a tour featuring a quiz and learning stops the focus of your day.

For activities on wheels, there is the “Weihertrail” bike park at the Eiselfing municipal sports hall. The sports and leisure facility is for children, teenagers and adults; alongside a beginner-friendly route, there is a section for advanced riders. Check current operating information before your visit. Kart 2000 adds a modern karting track with indoor and outdoor courses. The two destinations offer different experiences: the Weihertrail caters to different riding levels, while Kart 2000 features indoor and outdoor courses.
