Austria – Oetztal – Piburg
The village of Piburg is located just above Lake Piburg at 970 m and it consists only of a few beautiful old houses. It can be reached from Ötz on the winding road by car after 3 kilometres. More beautiful and highly recommended is the signposted hiking trail from Ötz. You hike through a little-frequented, beautiful, typical Tyrolean landscape and reach Lake Piburg after about an hour. From there it is another 15 minutes to the village of Piburg.
In the centre of the village of Piburg stands this old farm. Despite the few houses, there are two inns in the village that also offer accommodation. The Gasthof Piburger See is one of these two guesthouses. When the weather is nice, you can sit here on the terrace and enjoy everyday farm life.
The farmers still use this ancient tractor, which has certainly been in service for more than 50 years. The village exudes the idyll of a tranquil village life, provided you don’t stay here in the high season. The most beautiful time is late autumn, when the main stream of tourists has already left and peace has returned to the village community.
