Bergkapelle Mühlbach am Hochkönig: As in all villages, music enthusiasts met very early in Mühlbach am Hochkönig and played music spontaneously in private parlors or in individual inns. Large festivities such as weddings and church celebrations were accompanied. The children already came into contact with the regional song potential in many families and later expanded their knowledge in the music lessons of the school founded in 1862. The Bergkapelle Mühlbach has a well-kept, extensive chronicle in which it can be read that rehearsals were held in the parlor of the Proneben farmer, Rupert Deutinger, as early as the turn of the century. Rupert Deutinger was also the first leader of a peasant music or Knappenmusik, which existed since 1908.
In summer, there are 140 km of marked hiking trails, 15 catered alpine huts, four tennis courts, an outdoor swimming pool, a paragliding school, playgrounds, petting zoos and the Schweizerhütte alpine dairy at the Arthurhaus.
