History of Reit im Winkl

The village, relatively isolated as it is in the mountains of Bavaria, is first mentioned in documents in the 13th century, although it is thought to have been founded earlier.

It remained for centuries a place of hard mountain labour, with farming and timber being the main source of income.

Reit im Winkl in Bavaria

The symbol of the village is a jack (the 'Schellunter' - a picture card in a local game). According to local legend, when Napoleon was deciding how to partition his conquests in the early 19th century, everyone forgot about Reit im Winkl. When reminded, the rulers of the Tyrol, Salzburg and Bavaria played cards for it, with the Bavarian King winning with a jack.

Tourist started a little later the visit of a later Bavarian King in 1858 and the publicity around his journey led to increased interest in the village from around Germany.

The village was never connected to the local rail network, although the tourist authorities pushed for it, and the former Waldbahn (a narrow gauge railway between Reit im Winkl and Ruhpolding) was only used for transporting logs during its relatively short life in the 1920s.

With the no easy day-trip access, the village has retained its traditional culture, one of the reasons why tourism is so strong here. In the winter months, it is linked in to the Steinplatte ski area above Lofer in Austria and the area is renowned for its snowfall, attracting cross-country skiers and snowshoe enthusiasts.

Reit im Winkl Tourist Office

The tourist office in Reit im Winkl is situated just outside the centre of the village on the road in the direction of the Chiemsee. It is open Monday-Friday and on weekends in season: Website : www.reitimwinkl.de

Unmistakable in the town center: the parish church of St. Pankratius . First mentioned in 1393, built and consecrated in its current form in 1913.

Before we start our stroll, we take a look at the corner of the Hotel Unterwirt next to the parish church - there the "Schell Unter" is honored. It is the famous playing card with which Maximilian I Joseph, King of Bavaria, won Reit im Winkl for Bavaria. According to legend, at least ...

From here, turn a little round to the north and climb up along the Way of the Cross to the Eckkapelle chapel. From there you cross to the west past the waterfall to the Kriegerkapelle chapel. The barefoot park extends directly below.

"Stolperstein" in Weitseestraße

The Stolpersteine project commemorates victims of Nazi terror. Little brass plates with names and life dates are put in the ground and make you stumble, just as the name wants you to.

In front of the house at Weitseestraße 15, a "stumbling block" deserves our attention. Therese Mühlberger lived in this house. On November 7, 1940, at the age of 42, she was murdered by the Nazis in a gas chamber at Hartheim/ Linz.

The stumbling block in Weitseestraße has been a reminder of Therese Mühlberger since September 2020.

We walk past the primary school and the outdoor swimming pool along Maria-Hellwig-Weg , past the Entfelden chapel to the tourist information office and on to the glacier field at Wimmerkreuz.

Heading further south we will pass the ski jumping hills , walk past the Blindau chapel toward Klausenbach gorge .
