The Alpineum, as a modern, award-winning exhibition house, is worth a visit at any time of the year. Here, you will receive background information about the history of the Stodertal valley, the life-threatening work of the lumberjacks, the mountaineering development history of the Totes Gebirge, and the evolution of skiing from its beginnings to the World Cup.
The modern museum building – constructed in 1998 – already suggests from the outside that visitors will not encounter a dusty "local museum," but rather historical and current videos and acoustic effects. Establishing connections from the past to the present is the core concept of the Alpineum with its extremely extensive collection of historical and contemporary exhibits. In an entertaining manner, the past is brought to life through engaging text and image design, creating a memorable experience for visitors. Be prepared to be surprised.
By the way, the Alpineum was awarded one of the best exhibition houses in Europe at the "Museum of the Year Award 2000." In addition to the permanent exhibition, the Alpineum continually surprises with successful special exhibitions on a variety of themes.
Special Exhibition:
ALPINE MOMENTS
In the footsteps of E.T. Compton
Photography and Painting by Michael Zacek
Michael Zacek captures the archaic impact of nature moodily and with technical sophistication. He personally visits all the motifs displayed and initially captures the mountain world with his camera. Through intensive reworking with strong texture and color application, three-dimensionality is regained. The resulting spatial "real view" gives his works a deep and lively quality. On the occasion of the 175th birthday of E.T. Compton, Michael Zacek follows the traces and motifs of the alpine painter.
From Windischgarsten via Vorderstoder to Hinterstoder; next to the information office; A 9 - exit Hinterstoder/St. Pankraz, B138 - turnoff to Hinterstoder or from Kirchdorf on B138 towards Windischgarsten, turnoff to Hinterstoder.

ALPINE MOMENTS
In the Footsteps of E.T. Compton
Photography and Painting by Michael Zacek
Michael Zacek captures the archaic effect of nature atmospherically and technically elaborately. He personally explores all the motifs presented and first captures the mountain world with the camera. Through intensive reworking with strong structure and color application, the three-dimensionality is regained. The resulting spatial "real view" makes his works appear deep and alive. On the occasion of the 175th anniversary of E.T. Compton's birth, Michael Zacek follows the trails and motifs of the alpine painter.
From Windischgarsten via Vorderstoder to Hinterstoder; next to information office; A 9 - exit Hinterstoder/St. Pankraz, B138 - Hinterstoder junction or from Kirchdorf on the B138 towards Windischgarsten, Hinterstoder junction.
Public: With the Riedler bus (lines 431, 432 and 434) to the Gemeindehaus stop
