Eagles Stage Ahorn in Mayrhofen

At Ahorn in Mayrhofen, Zillertal, visitors can experience a truly unique natural spectacle: the AdlerBühne Ahorn, an eagles station. Nestled in the backdrop of the Tyrolean Alps, Europe's highest bird of prey station at 2,000 meters offers a one-of-a-kind encounter with the kings of the skies.

Located amidst the breathtaking mountain scenery of the Zillertal, the AdlerBühne Ahorn is situated directly next to the FalknerOase, surrounded by the Filzen reservoir. Between mid-June and October, you can witness daily the daily Birds of Prey Show, where eagles, falcons, buzzards, and owls showcase their incredible skills. The impressive maneuvers of these birds against the alpine backdrop create unforgettable moments, especially when crowd favorites like Steppi the eagle, Hansi the falcon, or the owls Billi & Virginia take center stage. New additions to the team are the majestic sea eagles Albert & Emma, whose enormous wingspan never fails to amaze the audience.

For those wishing to dive deeper into the world of falconry, the interactive FalknerOase features seven experience stations, offering fascinating insights into the history, diversity, and work of falconers. Numerous viewpoints and quiet spots with panoramic views of the Zillertal Alps invite visitors to relax, unwind, and enjoy the scenery.

The AdlerBühne Ahorn was founded in 2009 by passionate falconers Didi and Waltraud Wechselberger. With their extensive experience and deep connection to the local wildlife, they established Europe's highest bird of prey station at 2,000 meters on the Ahorn Plateau in Mayrhofen. Since then, the AdlerBühne has captivated thousands of visitors annually with impressive flight demonstrations while educating them about the lifestyle and conservation of birds of prey.

The AdlerBühne is part of "Mountopolis", the adventure world of the Mayrhofen Mountain Railways. In addition to the daily demonstrations, exclusive backstage tours are also offered, where visitors can go behind the scenes to learn more about the falconers' work and the lives of the animals.

The AdlerBühne Ahorn is located above Mayrhofen in the Zillertal and is accessible exclusively via the Ahornbahn, which takes visitors to the Ahorn Plateau at an elevation of approximately 2,000 meters. The valley station of the Ahornbahn is located on the outskirts of Mayrhofen and is easily accessible by both car and public transport.

By car, you can reach Mayrhofen via the Zillertaler Straße (B169). At the MPREIS supermarket, turn right onto Rauchenwaldstraße and follow it for about 450 meters before turning left onto Tuxer Straße. The Ahornbahn parking lot is well signposted from there.

For those arriving by public transport, take the Zillertalbahn to the Mayrhofen train station. From there, it’s just a short walk to the valley station of the Ahornbahn, or alternatively, a quick ride on the local bus.
