The Tour
HAIMING -> Magerbach district -> Apple Road -> Silz -> Forest -> HAIMING
The starting point is the Haiming municipal office. First, follow the old federal road and cross the bridge into the Magerbach district. Here, keep right and walk along the paved path past snowy plantations to Silz. This section of the path is the Apple Road. In summer, the Oberländer apple is grown here and harvested in autumn. Children discover everything worth knowing about the apple at the Apple Mile playground. In winters with little snow, the playground can be visited almost all year round. Away from traffic, this flat path is especially suitable for walks with strollers. In Silz, follow Simmeringstraße and then turn right into Josef-Marberger-Straße. This leads out of the village through meadows and the Pirchet forest and then joins the old federal road again. At the entrance to Haiming, you can shorten the last section a bit on Kreuzstraße and return directly to the starting point.
At the Apple Mile playground, children playfully discover everything worth knowing about the Oberländer apple.
