Schlaiten

Holiday paradise with a panoramic view

Hidden but even more beautiful and quiet, the municipality of Schlaiten expands on impressive 150 meters above the valley floor of the Iseltal. The settlement area is almost completely situated on a terrace southwest of the River Isel. Above all, the magnificent panoramic view onto the surrounding mountain landscape is fascinating.

 

In Schlaiten, you get very close to the slopes of the Villgrater mountains. A popular panoramic mountain is Bockstein, the highest point of the municipal area. At 2805 meters, you will be rewarded with a fantastic view.

Like many communities in Osttirol, Schlaiten looks back on an eventful history. Already in the 13th century, silver and base metals were mined here. Around the 15th century, mining in Schlaiten experienced its heyday. Today, a visit to the Kriegergedächtniskapelle (War Memorial Chapel) is worthwhile. Also the charming chapel of St. Chrysanth and Daria is worth seeing, as it houses a neo-Romanesque high altar from 1888.

 

The plateau-like location of the municipality offers a variety of scenic hiking opportunities, the spectrum ranges from leisurely walks through the forest to demanding summit tours.

Forecast:

With high pressure persisting, the midsummer-like weather will largely continue into Sunday. Consequently, the sun will shine for the most part during the day; driven by the strong July sun, temperatures in the lowlands will rise to over 30 degrees in some areas by the afternoon. A few cumulus clouds may appear in the afternoon and evening, but the risk of thunderstorms is very low, even over the mountains.
