Things to do in Seefeld

  1. Pfarrkirche St Oswald

    A must-see if you believe in miracles is 15th-century Pfarrkirche St Oswald. It was here that Oswald Milser gobbled a wafer reserved for the clergy at Easter communion in 1384. After almost being swallowed up by the floor, the greedy layman repented, but the wafer was streaked with blood – not from foolish Oswald but from Christ, naturally. Climb the stairway to view the Blutskapelle (Chapel of the Holy Blood), which held the original wafer.

  2. Reither Moor Conservation Area

    It's a short stroll south of the centre to Wildsee, a bottle-green, pine-fringed lake that anchors Reither Moor Conservation Area; a 45-minute trail rings the lake and you can stop off for a refreshing dip at the Strandbad (bathing area). For longer, more challenging walks, cable cars ascend nearby Seefeld Spitze (2220m) and Reither Spitze (2374m); consult the tourist office for more information or join one of its regular guided walks.
