The village name likely derives from “Puechelpach”, meaning “a stream surrounded by beech trees”. A hint at how closely nature and water have shaped the area over the centuries.

Bichlbach was first mentioned around 1300 as Puechelpach and, much like Biberwier, was known for mining lead and calamine ores. The district of Lähn received its name after an avalanche destroyed the original settlement of “Mittewald” in 1456; the rebuilt hamlet was then called “Lähn”. Until 1859, Bichlbach was the seat of the renowned “Große Zunft Bichlbach”, a guild of masons and carpenters. Today, its guild church is the only one of its kind in the entire German-speaking region.

The hamlets of Lähn and Wengle, both part of Bichlbach, are ideal starting points in summer for hiking and biking tours into the Ammergau and Lechtal Alps. From here, you step straight into the nature of the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena. In winter, quiet cross-country ski trails await, and with the free ski bus, guests can easily reach the surrounding ski areas of the region.
