Summer Holidays in Sillian
In summer, the local mountain of Sillian – Thurntaler peak – is a paradise for hikers, paragliders and people who wish to reach the mountain huts in an easy way by car or lift. Due to its great offer, the Hochpustertal valley is said to be the most family-friendly valley in Osttirol. The Wichtel express takes you to various adventure spots in the Hochpustertal valley, incl. the Wichtel Park with its high ropes garden, BBQ facilities and a 30-m-long slide, and to the Wonky Tonky river where you can pan for gold or simply refresh your feet in the nicely cool water. Sillian is also the perfect starting point for long-distance hikes on the Karnischer Höhenweg Path or cycling tours along the Drau river. Lienz, the capital of Osttirol, can be easily reached within 2.5 hours by bike. After a shopping day or some culture in the “Sunshine City” of Osttirol, you can also take the train back to Sillian.
