Oftering: Walking Trails, Cycling Routes and Festivals

Oftering offers named routes for walking and trekking by bike, as well as recurring events that provide different reasons to visit. As of September 2026, three walking and hiking routes and two trekking cycling routes were listed with their distances. Planning when to visit is also important for the village festival, the trade exhibition featuring Ofteringer-Wirtschaft and the St. Nicholas Market. You can therefore first decide whether you would rather compare routes by distance or plan your trip around a specific event date. These two perspectives can help you organize your travel dates and planned activities for each day.

On foot: comparing three routes

The Backhausrunde is listed as an 8.70 km walking route. The Ofteringer Aubachrunde (O1) is a 10.00 km hiking route; the Oftering Aichbergwanderweg (O4) covers 13.00 km. The difference between the lengths of the Backhausrunde and the Aichbergwanderweg is 4.30 km. The Aubachrunde is 1.30 km longer than the Backhausrunde, while the Aichbergwanderweg is 3.00 km longer than the Aubachrunde. This lets you compare the shortest, middle and longest distances directly. The Backhausrunde is designated as a walking route, while the other two are designated as hiking routes. If you plan your day around a preferred distance, the three options offer a specific choice from 8.70 to 13.00 km.

Compare trekking cycling routes by distance

Two routes are listed for trekking bikes: the 95 Tage Weinkeller Tour is 25.90 km long, and the Ofteringer Genussradweg is 22.87 km long. Both are trekking cycling routes; the first is 3.03 km longer. The difference between the two categories is also clear: the shorter cycling route is 9.87 km longer than the longest of the three routes on foot. This lets you compare your preferred way of getting around first, followed by route distance. For a stay with different plans for each day, you can choose between a walking or hiking route and a trekking cycling route, taking the respective distance into account.

Events and travel dates

Ofteringer-Wirtschaft takes part in a trade exhibition with an accompanying program every two years; the Oftering village festival is also held every two years. The St. Nicholas Market in Oftering takes place on the first Saturday in Advent. This means there are two events held every other year and one market day tied to Advent. If you are planning your trip around a festival, check the specific date for the year you plan to travel before searching for a holiday apartment.

Plan your travel dates and accommodation

For a festival visit, the event date comes first; for a stay focused on the routes, the type of route and its distance can be your starting point. You can then tailor your search for a holiday apartment in Oftering to your chosen travel dates.
