Discover Wilhelmsburg

Wilhelmsburg combines gentle rolling hills with an appealing landscape and offers panoramic views of the foothills of the Alps. Those looking for a holiday that combines activity, regional history and special excursion destinations will find several different options here. Depending on your travel plans, cycling routes, hikes, culture and a visit to the Quail Farm can shape your stay.

Hiking and Cycling in the Rolling Hills

Three legends-themed hiking trails wind their way around Wilhelmsburg. The Wilhelmsburg circular hiking trail is marked in blue and yellow, providing clear orientation when planning your tour. The Grubtalerweg offers another perspective on the landscape: From this trail, you can enjoy views of Wilhelmsburg, the lower Traisental valley and the Pielach valley. These different trails can be combined into a day of holiday activities, allowing you to choose between a hike and other pursuits.

There is also a clear focus for cyclists. The 15.4 km Sagenstein Tour mountain bike route runs through the rolling landscape of the Kreisbach valley. If you prefer to ride along a cycle route, you can plan a trip on the Traisental Cycle Path. It leads through Wilhelmsburg to Lilienfeld along paved riverside paths and quiet side roads. The Traisental Cycle Path also connects to the Gölsentalweg, the Melker Alpenvorlandweg, the Wienerwaldweg and the Danube Cycle Path. This allows you to plan your day around a single route or further connections.

History and Regional Culture

The Wilhelmsburg Tableware Museum is located at the authentic site of the Winckhlmühle in Wilhelmsburg. The permanent exhibition provides insight into tableware designs from the Lilien-Porzellan brand, which were produced from the late 1950s onward. A visit to the museum therefore focuses not only on a building, but also on the design and history of tableware forms.

Kreisbach Castle dates back to a foundation at the end of the 12th century. A guided tour of the castle includes a visit to the High Baroque Anna Chapel, a Gothic passageway and a Romanesque cellar. The parish church also reaches far back into history: Its dedication to Saint Stephen indicates that it was built by the responsible Diocese of Passau in the 11th century. Those wishing to combine historic architectural styles with ecclesiastical history can regard these sites as cultural highlights of their stay.

An Excursion Destination for Shared Discoveries

The Quail Farm offers guided tours and tastings of its products. The facilities also include a petting zoo, an adventure playground for children and an educational trail focusing on an orchard meadow. This gives families travelling together another opportunity to spend the day away from cycling and hiking trails. Which attraction you choose depends on whether you would rather discover regional products, spend time outdoors or plan a playful excursion.
