Discover Lochen

Lochen combines distinctive culture, experiences by the water, regional traditions and paths through the landscape. Those looking for a mix of relaxation, exercise and discoveries during their trip will find various starting points here for planning their days.

Experience culture and regional traditions

An unusual cultural destination is the Gebertsham filial church. It is considered a rare, comprehensively preserved Gothic cultural monument. This makes it particularly appealing to travellers who want to include historic buildings and sacred art in their excursions. The church creates a clear cultural highlight and complements the landscape experiences with a place that has its own historic identity.

The Höflmaier Museum also leads to a regional speciality. There, you can gain an insight into traditional cheese production as it is still practised today at the Höflmaier private dairy. The visit therefore combines the history and craft of cheese production with a specific local tradition. For families, this insight can be an engaging addition to excursions into the countryside, as a regional topic takes centre stage alongside travelling around.

Lido and excursions around Lochen

The Lochen lido on the lake has a natural bathing beach with a gently sloping shoreline. The facilities also include a beach volleyball court, a children’s playground, a swimming raft and a new jetty. Those planning time by the water can switch between swimming, playing and more active breaks. Families with children will find not only the natural bathing beach but also a specifically designated play area; those looking for exercise can incorporate the beach volleyball court into their day.

The Richtstättenweg offers a different form of orientation. It is a themed trail in Lochen, with three of the four themed trails of the Richtstättenweg beginning at the municipal office in Lochen. This starting point helps you organise the various trail options mentally without equating the individual themed trails with one another. Another option is the approximately 11 km-long Tannberg circular trail. It leads to the 786 m-high Tannberg on the state border between Salzburg and Upper Austria. You should take the approximate length into account when planning your day.

Cross-country skiing as a winter travel idea

There is also a specific cross-country skiing option in Lochen am See in winter: two cross-country ski trails are groomed there. One cross-country ski trail begins at the primary school or gymnasium and leads via Feldbach, Sprinzenberg, Petersham, Koppelstätt and Stullerding to Lochen am See. The place names listed give you a clear idea of the course of this trail. If you are planning a holiday trip with winter exercise, you can consider this option alongside the cultural and landscape attractions that are interesting year-round.
