Discover Plainfeld: Culture, Mill and Nature

Plainfeld offers a variety of reasons to visit: here, local history, regional craft traditions, events and experiences in nature can be combined. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home can make their preferred focus for the trip the starting point for planning. If the trip is to revolve around races and events, the Salzburgring is the main attraction. For quieter discoveries, the church in Plainfeld, the Hochmühle, hiking trails and, in winter, a cross-country ski trail are ideal.

Salzburgring and Events

The Salzburgring is located between the villages of Koppl, Plainfeld and Hof. It is therefore a distinct and clear reason to visit for anyone wishing to attend events or races. The inn belonging to the Salzburgring has a large terrace from which events and races can be watched. This specific vantage point complements a visit to the circuit by offering an opportunity to observe what is happening on site. When choosing accommodation in Plainfeld, you can therefore consider whether to plan your stay primarily around an event date or around other experiences in the village.

Plainfeld’s Church and History

The church in Plainfeld, dedicated to Saint Leonard, is an important cultural landmark of the village. The Catholic parish church of Saint Leonard is protected under the provisions of Section 2a of the Monument Protection Act. Its high altar also has a precisely documented history: the church and high altar were consecrated by Archbishop Friedrich von Schwarzenberg on 14 October 1838.

Those who are interested not only in landscapes but also in historical contexts can also include Pabenschwandt in Plainfeld in their personal exploration of the village. The Plainfeld concentration camp subcamp (Dachau) was located there. This information forms part of Plainfeld’s history and opens up a different, more reflective perspective on the village’s development than the leisure activities surrounding the circuit, trails and mill.

Hochmühle, Mill Shop and Trails

The Hochmühle and its mill shop are well worth a visit in Plainfeld. Wheat, durum wheat, rye and spelt flours, as well as grain meals, are produced there, each in both conventional and organic quality. The mill shop thus adds a distinct element to trip planning and may be especially interesting for visitors who want to learn about local production and specific products.

For outdoor activities, hiking trails are available, allowing you to explore the surroundings of Plainfeld at a leisurely pace. In winter, Plainfeld also has a perfectly groomed cross-country ski trail. When looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home, you can therefore decide whether to put hiking, a visit to the Hochmühle, cultural impressions or winter sports more in the foreground. This allows you to choose your destination based on the desired mix of active and quieter days, without confusing individual experiences with one another.
