Discover Taufkirchen an der Trattnach

Taufkirchen an der Trattnach combines the hilly landscape of the Hausruck region with nature experiences, cycling routes and remarkable churches. Those looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home for a varied stay will find various options for planning their days here: a cycling tour through the Trattnach Valley, a hike with scenic views or an exploration of sacred buildings in Taufkirchen and Hehenberg.

Nature and Trails Along the Trattnach

In Taufkirchen an der Trattnach, the Trattnach is ideal for excursions into nature. The extensive cycling and hiking trails along the river offer an opportunity to discover rare and untouched flora and fauna. This makes the Trattnach an appealing destination for travelers who want to spend their vacation not only sightseeing but also enjoying physical activity and landscapes.

One specific option is the Trattnachtal R17 cycling route. It follows the Trattnach Valley from its source in Geboltskirchen through Weibern, Hofkirchen an der Trattnach and Taufkirchen an der Trattnach to Grieskirchen. The route connects several places in the Trattnach Valley without implying any specific distances or travel times.

Panorama Circular Hiking Trail with Two Routes

Those who prefer exploring on foot can use the Panorama Circular Hiking Trail. It offers two routes for discovering the scenic surroundings of Taufkirchen. Route 1 provides views toward Haag/Hausruck and the Salzkammergut. From the Obertrattnach stop, this route is well signposted. This allows the hike to be planned deliberately as a separate day activity, while the second route offers another way to get to know the surrounding area.

This choice is interesting for families because it allows different vacation days to be combined: an active day on the cycling trail, a hike with scenic views or a day visiting the historic churches. The accommodation that suits you best depends primarily on whether you want to focus on cycling, nature or culture.

Churches and Sacred Buildings

Taufkirchen an der Trattnach also offers several specific destinations of cultural and historical interest. The parish church of St. Martin was built in the Renaissance style. Its sacristy and bell house also preserve Gothic remains. In Hehenberg stands the subsidiary church dedicated to St. Vitus, which dates back to the 14th century. Also located in Hehenberg is the pilgrimage church of St. Veit, which is protected as an immovable monument under the ordinance of the Federal Monuments Authority for the political district of Grieskirchen.

In the village of Aich, the Lourdes Chapel commemorates another historic construction period: it was built in 1886–1887. Those interested in church art, regional history and different architectural styles can include these places in their travel plans. The references to the Renaissance, Gothic remains, the 14th century and the years 1886–1887 help distinguish the individual buildings clearly from one another.
