Reith
near Kitzbühel

Reith, with its Baroque parish church, was first mentioned in historical records around 1190. Münichau Castle, which was once a noble residence and has been run as a hotel for many years, was built around 1460. The monk from Münichau Castle also features on Reith’s coat of arms. Whilst silver and copper were mined at Rerobichl and Astberg from the 15th to the 18th century, today agriculture, local businesses and tourism form the pillars of the local economy.

Whether in summer or winter, Reith’s unique setting and stunning mountain backdrop make it a place well worth discovering.

Thanks to its strong sense of community, Reith has preserved its farming traditions, and visitors still have the opportunity to buy directly from local producers.

Great importance is placed on animal welfare and care. The animals have plenty of space to roam freely and are fed only fresh grass, home-grown hay, water and mineral rich foods.

Alpacas are not cuddly animals, so petting should remain the exception. However, they are naturally curious, trusting and enjoy observing people in their own quiet way.

Horses meet people without judgement and create a sense of warmth, trust and connection. Sensitive to body language and emotions, they often reflect how we feel in the moment and encourage us to slow down and become more aware of ourselves.
