Pfarrkirche
(Parish Church; dawn-dusk)
The spire of this pink-and-white parish church dominates the
village centre and is surrounded by a sea of filigree crosses. You can peek inside the
church, but you do so at your own risk - a sign on the door issues a warning that it is
not
a museum!

wildflowers, you'll love the

(Yodel Hiking Trail; 06565-82 43; visit
www.jodelweg.at
)
in Königsleiten, on the Gerlos Alpine Road between Zell am Ziller and Krimml. You can either go it alone and
practise your high notes at huts with giant cowbells, alpine horns and listen-repeat audio clippings, or join one of
the guided sing 'n' stroll hikes with trail founder Christian Eder. The three-hour ambles begin at 10.30am every
Wednesday from late June to mid-September and cost €7.60/3.80 per adult/child. Reserve by 5pm the previous
