The "Seekirchl"-Church on the lake

As a landmark of Seefeld counts the "Seekirchl" (also called Holy cross Church) directly at the entrance to the village - 1629, it was started built by Archduke Leopold V  and ended in 1666.

 

At that time, the Seekrichl was placed in the so-called "Cross-Lake", which was drained in 1808. Rare for Tyrol is the octagonal baroque central structure which is the mark of the church.

Parish-Church St. Oswald in Seefeld

In the center of Seefeld, see the pilgrimage church of St. Oswald, which became one of the most famous pilgrimage sites in Tyrol.

Cross-path and stone-circle in Seefeld

The idea came from the architect Michael Prachensky from Seefeld, to build on one of the most mystic places in Tyrol a stone circle. At the solstice 2000, the monument was completed and consists of 12 apostle-steles with carved names.

 

The best way to reach this beautiful place is over the Cross-path of Seefeld. Start off at the parish church of St Oswald and discover the stations distributed over the parish hill. This trail ends directly at the stone circle. Here you will find a summary of the last communion expressed by the order of up to 23-ton boulders. On 21.06.2000, a certain discretionary star constellation was provided, which said how to put the stones on the hill. This will shall always remind you on the millennium celebration.

 

Directly on the parish hill you can find information boards, which once again gives you detailed explanations of the stone circle, of the Cross-path and also their backgrounds as a meeting place of world religions. 

 

Because of the idyllic location, you can connect the visit of the stone circle very well with a walk around the lake "Wildsee".
