Säuling
Climb Säuling and the other mountains surrounding Pinswang
Dreiländerecke
There is a trail starting near Gasthof Schluxen that will take you into the surrounding mountains. It splits into several directions, but two warrant discussion here. The first continues up the mountain to the Dreiländerecke, the border meeting point of the previously autonomous regions of the Tirol, Augsburg and Bavaria. The views from there are spectacular. The other fork takes you across the border into Germany the border patrol shack and gate are still in place. After about a 40-minute walk, the trail will take you to the castles of King Ludwig Königsschlösser, Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau. You can then continue along the trail skirting Füssen Rote Wand that takes you to the Lech River. You can follow the river back into Austria, divert onto a short trail next to the water power plant and head over the Kratzer back into Pinswang.

Pinswang is a most popular and inexpensive jumping off point for visits to a host of local sites. Many visitors stay in the inns or rent rooms in local homes see SLEEP below, and from there visit the castles of Bavarian King Ludwig Neuschwanstein and Hoheschangau in Füssen, about a 1 to 1.5 hour walk from Pinswang. Hiking there is a most memorable experience, as you find yourself walking on lovely fairytale forest paths across the border into Germany.
concerts
Attend village band Musikkapelle concerts at the outdoor stage during the Summer months and in the Gemeindesaal during the Winter and during inclement Summer weather (http://www.mk-pinswang.at/) (http://www.mk-pinswang.at...)
Adventsingen
Attend the much-beloved Adventsingen at the St. Ulrichskirche see photo above in December. Most of the instrumentalists and singers you will hear come from Pinswang and local area villages. A quick note: The celebration of Advent and Christmas in Austria is very different from the very lively Christmas celebrations one encounters in the UK and America. In Austria and Bavaria, Advent is a more quiet, contemplative time, and the beautiful music played/sung during Advent reflects this exquisitely peaceful part of the Christmas season.
Kirchweihfest
If you are in Pinswang during early July, be certain to attend the Kirchweihfest that is held on the grounds in front of the Ulrichskirche. After a special Sunday morning Mass it is recommended to contact the Pinswang Mayor's Office for the time: +435677861312 or [email protected], be prepared to stay for the rest of the day to take part in this cherished tradition. Find yourself a place at any of the many outdoor tables and eat delicious sausages, schnitzel and incredible homemade cakes (Torte), drink beer, schnapps, colas, listen to Tirolean folk music performed by the Pinswang and neighboring Musau Musikkapelle, and enjoy the splendid views of the Pinswang countryside. This is a highly recommended family activity.
