Baumkirchen is a small, friendly village in Tyrol, about 20 minutes by car from Innsbruck. The town lies on a flat slope just above the Inn Valley and stretches towards the mountains.
Baumkirchen has been documented since the 12th century. The place has many historic houses that are very well maintained.
There are not necessarily tourist attractions in Baumkirchen, but the place is still worth seeing because it is a typical example of the Tyrolean lifestyle: agriculture in the middle of the village, well-kept historic houses, a sunny location under the mountains and a friendly, stress-free and happy population.
Due to its quiet and idyllic atmosphere, Baumkirch is particularly popular with nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet. The surrounding landscape offers numerous opportunities for hikes and walks with wonderful views of the Inn Valley and the surrounding mountains. The town is also ideally located for excursions (by car or bus) to the nearby state capital Innsbruck or to the surrounding ski areas. Baumkirchen embodies the perfect combination of tradition, nature and Tyrolean cosiness.
