Freetime Activities
Berwang [https://www.tyrol.com/places/a-berwang] is
situated in the Zugspitz Arena [https://zugspitzarena.com/en]
Area the area around Germany's tallest mountain – an idyllic area for walkers of all levels. Berwang itself boasts spas, tennis courts, swimming pools, crazy golf and more! King Ludwig's Castle at Neuschwanstein is close by.
​
The large, heated, outdoor pool in an idyllic location also has a cafe where you can sit and while away the time.
​
Another activity, popular with regular Berwang course members is walking or taking a chairlift up the Almkopf and take some refreshment in the cafe. If you hire a bike you can even take it up on the chairlift and cycle down! At the ticket office you can even hire a mountain scooter and come down on that.
​
By foot it is also possible to visit the restaurant Jägerhaus, halfway up the footpath to the Almkopf.
​
Another footpath, direct from the village, takes you up to Kögele Hütte cafe. From there you can either retrace your steps or visit the neighbouring village of Rinnen.
​
In Rinnen, at the hotel Thanellerhof, you can sample the beer they make in the highest brewery in Austria. By prior arrangement it may even be possible to take a tour of the brewery.
​
The village band will be playing on the bandstand on the evening of Wednesday 21 August, it's always great to Austrian music played live in the Tyrol.
​
​The local tourist office also have a programme of activities such as walks exploring the local flora and fauna.
Further afield
A short car ride away are Heiterwangersee and Plansee, 2 adjoining lakes where you take a boat trip, try stand up paddleboarding or walk be the side of the lake(s). There is also a cafe where you can sit and enjoy the view over the lake.
Biberweir is also a short drive away and here you can try the summer toboggan run.
Many other places such as Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Innsbruck and Munich can be reached by train.
Excursion
On Wednesday 13 August we will organise an optional excursion by coach to King Ludwig's castles at Neuschwanstein and Linderhof. The costs involved will be divided between those going on this trip.
Alternatively people will be able to travel in cars to Heiterwangersee (see details above)
In March we will be sending out details of the excursion and visit to Heiterwangersee and ask participants to book which, if either, they would like to go on.
'Family' Course
Berwang has many attractions for children, including a family hotel, The Kaiserhof (https://www.kaiserhof.at/), which provides care for the children of those staying with them, leaving parents free to pursue their own interests - i.e. singing! Berwang Music 2025 is therefore highly suitable for families in which both parents (or only one parent) sings.
