You have to be here on the right day
scottishvisitor Says: I have to admit this music pavilion was a bit of a puzzle fo me, looking around it, it just looked like some form of seating, but there were ordinary benches here as well. Looking at my little Going guide I found that it was added here in 1997 and is known as a technical...
Stop by one of the prettiest tourist offices
scottishvisitor Says: We stopped at the tourist office to get directions to Badensee, the staff here are so welcoming, helpful and friendly, nothing is too much trouble for them. The young lad not only told us how to get there but also drew us a little map. He suggested using our Guest Card,...
A Shady walk along the river bank
scottishvisitor Says: I love walking along a river bank drinking in all the colours and hues of nature. The River Ache - a strange name to me conjuring up images of dull unending pain (in English) turned out to be quite the opposite. The colours of the water were amazing - milky white from the...
scottishvisitor Says: Badesee is a man made fresh water lake which collects its water from the Wilder Kaiser Mountain Range. Although not really a place for us - the weather was so hot and some respite from the climbing temperatures was called for. Facilities here are many with good shower and...
Spend some time sitting in the shade
scottishvisitor Says: I loved the little Kirch Plaz a perfect place just to sit in quiet contemplation and just relax. It is not a people watching spot - we saw hardly anyone here in this sleepy sun dappled square, just some old people who stopped for a rest in the shade of the giant copper beech...
The Little Church with a big name
scottishvisitor Says: Die Pfarrkirche Zun Heiligen Kreuz translates into the Parish Church of the Holy Cross. The Church was first mentioned in 1398 several rebuilds followed - She was finally rebuilt and completed in 1772-1775 and concecrated by the Bishop Ferdinand Christof on the 20th. October...
scottishvisitor Says: This equestrian centre offers two day courses for experienced and novice riders on Monday - Tuesday or Wednesday - Thursday for two hours each day. The stable is home to the very beautiful Lippizaner horses said to be the oldest classical horse breed in Europe I was...
Neit Says: Beatiful houses sorrounding the church, fantastic views of the mountain, deep green everywhere you look. I loved tirolean towns.
A Place of rest- Gaudeamus Huette
Hanau93 Says: The Gaudeamus Huette is located at the foot of the Ellmauer Tor and a good place to get a final refreshment before hiking up to the Tor or a bit higher up to the Gruttenhuette. For people who aren't as ambitious a walk from the Wochenbrunner Alm (where you can park your car)...
Hanau93 Says: A famous summit with a TV antenna that can be seen for miles, it measures 2000 m above sea level. It is wonderful for hiking and there are two ways of getting to the summit. One can take the chairlift to a certain level from the Oberndorf side or of course take the gondola...
sandysmith Says: For closer views of the mountains like this then you must hike up through the woods to the higher lying pasture meadows. The scenery will be your reward - just look at that view! A bit further on and you will reach some waterfalls - see sports tips for more info.
sandysmith Says: Just wandering around this small village you can't help but notice the stunning views of the Wilder Kaiser - suerly Austria's prettiest mountain range. Walking from here back to Ellmau on our last day of our weeks stay in May 2004 made us realise we needed more time here for...
sandysmith Says: The village fountain is quite unusual with its bronze statue and has a lovely setting with the Wilder Kaiser beyond.
sandysmith Says: The parish church of Going was built from 1774-75 by building master Andre Huber from Kitzbuehel. The better view is from behind up the hill so you get the view of the mountains too - my feet had done their walking for the week so this view from the front will have to...

Where do they hide their cows????
scottishvisitor Says: Going is surrounded by farm land with lush green fields. We did see cute old field huts which used to be used to store hay for winter feeding for the cows, an apple tree stood laden with fruit in a field but still no cows to eat the fallen fruit. I had read that there are...
The Little Canopies on the Chimney Pots
scottishvisitor Says: Looking at the roof tops here in Going and probably most other villages - I noticed little canopies covering the chimney pots. I did wonder at first what was their purpose and asked Kenny - well he didn't know but an elderly resident who had overheard us was happy to tell me...
scottishvisitor Says: The tradition of Maypoles started in the 16th. Century in Bavaria this custom was soon to spread throughout Europe. The tree had to be carefully chosen for its straightness and height - the tree has to be at least 100 feet tall. The work on preparing the Maypole is equally...
Neit Says: Just near the church you will find a path with some indications to start excursions from there. But if you only want a place to admire the town and the greenest earth, you only need 5-10 minutes from the town.
sandysmith Says: This is an enjoyable hike as there is a variety of views - waterfalls, alpine pastures and woodland. We set off from the village centre in Going in the direction of the bathing lake and on to the higher lying farms. From here the track gently climbs through cool woodland to...
scottishvisitor Says: Shortly after you say to yourself "Herzlich Willkommen am Going" you might be saying "Auf Wiederschen Going" I had to laugh at the first comment on this page from Juliet when she made a reference to the residents being away! Seriously now, I loved this tiny place where the...

Setting of for a walk from Ellmau on a beautiful sun filled day with gorgeous blue skies we discovered the tiny but charming little village of Going. It maybe gone now from my sight but will remain a...

Blink and you might miss this tiny little tryolean village but its was worth a short stroll from Ellmau to see its lovely village centre with its views over the Wilder Kaiser.

We took this pic in March when we were hiking to the Hollenauer Kreuz.The view is simply amazing

Going is a little town in Tirol that is worth a visit. Comparing with another towns, Going seems more authentic tirolean rural area than other resorts.
