The Alm is located in the Gleirschtal , a side valley of the Hinterautal east of Scharnitz , in the area of ​​the village and the district of Hötting , at 1262  m above sea level. A. It lies between the Nordkette in the south and the Gleirsch-Halltal -kette in the north as well as between Kleinem Solstein  ( 2637  m above sea level ) and Hohem Gleirsch  ( 2492  m above sea level ). At the Möslalm, the Kleinkristental branches off to the south to Frau Hitt ( 2270  m above sea level ) and the Gleirscher Riegelkar to the northeast to the Hohen Gleirsch.

The Alm itself encompasses the bottom of the valley near the Bodenwald , the Gleirschbach flows underground here, as it seeps into the valley at Kreidenegg 2 km and only reappears as a source below, at the Amtssäge ( 1223  m above sea level ). The name of the alpine pasture, to moss 'wetland', refers to it.

Management

The Alm consists of three buildings and a chapel. She is a Melkalm and with about 200 head of cattle corners . It produces on site - it is particularly known for its gray cheese .
The Möslalm is also a popular stop for mountain hikers, especially when crossing the Karwendel for longer periods. It also offers accommodation with 30 camps. There is a small petting zoo for children.
It is managed according to ecological criteria and has a plant-based sewage treatment system.

It is also important in the maintenance of the landscape for the city administration, which is the responsibility of the Almpächter: the alpine pasture area covers around 3,000 hectares, i.e. 1 ⁄ 3 of the entire urban area of ​​Innbruck (105 km²), with the direct area around the alpine pasture at Hötting and the middle at Mühlau and the back one belongs to Arzl .

history

Nordkette and Samerthal, around 1898–1905 (detail from Franzisco-Josephinische Landesaufnahme , sheet 29–47 Innsbruck )

The upper Gleirschtal (historically Gleirs Thal ) is called Samertal (old Samer Thal ). The alp was called Samer-Alpe . Here was an important mule trail from the salt mining area of ​​the Halltal through the Isstal and over the Stempeljoch ( 2215  m above sea level ), which led directly into the Bavarian and the Ausserfern . The neighboring Alm in the Mandl Valley , which leads to the Hafelekar , is now in ruins, as is the Pfeisalm near today's Pfeishütte .

The name Arzler Kristenalm distinguishes it from the “Zirler” Kristenalm in the Großkristental, which belongs to the municipality of Zirl . The address Klein-Christen (old spelling of the valley name) comes from the Kleinkristental , which branches off southwards at the Alm.

The area originally belonged to the municipality of Hötting and was incorporated into the state capital in 1938. It is one of the five alpine pastures owned by the city of Innsbruck and was leased to the Kircher family from Arzl for over 80 years - in three generations. Since 2019 the Alm has had a new tenant with the Ripfl family.

Paths and sights

The alpine chapel is a listed building and dates from around 1900.

The Alm is completely located in the Karwendel Alpine Park , a nature park and European protected area ( FFH and bird protection ), one of the most important Tyrolean protected areas (cross-border with Bavaria).

The hiking area still belongs indirectly to the Olympiaregion Seefeld . The ascent is easy Scharnitz-Wiesenhof ( parking Karwendeltäler , cost) by the Gleirschklamm (or those on the forest road as soon as possible) and the Amtssäge in about 3 hours, and is interesting as a mountain bike route. Access from Innsbruck with a descent from the Hafelekar mountain station of the Nordkettenbahn via the Tunigskar or the Hafelekar and the Mandl valley (approx. 2½ hours) is possible.
Adjacent are the Amtssäge huts ( 1223  m above sea level ), the Kristenalm ( 1348  m above sea level ) in the Großkristental, the Pfeishütte in the Samertal and the Hafelekarhaus ( 2269  m above sea level ) of the Nordkettenbahn.
