Fritzens. In Tyrol
The small, idyllic village of Fritzens is known in gourmet circles far beyond the region's borders: The distinctive bottles of the Fritzens-based company Rochelt, which produces top-class "high-proof" schnapps from the finest fruit, are a must in any gourmet restaurant. Other schnapps distilleries such as Zalesky and Zimmermann are also based in Fritzens and offer guided tours into the world of schnapps production for anyone interested.
The history of the pretty village, which is repeatedly voted the most beautiful flower village in the district, goes back to the La Téne period: shards found from this time have made an important contribution to Tyrolean prehistory and early history as "Fritzner Keramik". The lovely landscape around Fritzens is particularly inviting for families on excursions and hikes in the magnificent mountain world. The parish church is definitely worth a visit - valuable carvings and depictions of the church's patron saint John the Baptist provide an opportunity to pause for thought.
Nature lovers can set off on a variety of activities from Fritzens: there is a choice of varied hiking trails for all abilities, from leisurely strolls to extended hiking tours. The gently undulating landscape around the Tyrolean village is particularly inviting for families, including those with baby carriages, for excursions and hikes in the magnificent mountain world.
The Tyrolean Way of St. James runs through the village, which has been increasingly used by pilgrims in recent years. The pilgrims like to stop off here.
The extensive Nordic walking route network of the Hall-Wattens region can also be reached quickly from the village. The neighboring villages of Wattens and Baumkirchen are starting points for varied tours. Mountain bike trails and cycle tours such as the Inn Cycle Path can also be used directly.
Not far away, you can refresh yourself in summer temperatures with a dip in the fresh water of the Weißlahn See.
