Discover Allerheiligen im Mühlkreis

Allerheiligen im Mühlkreis combines distinctive sacred buildings, insights into cultural history and trails through the landscape of the Mühlviertel. In the town centre stands the Roman Catholic parish and pilgrimage church of “Our Blessed Lady, Queen of All Saints” at one of the highest points in the municipality. The Jahreskreisweg trail also begins in the town centre. Those looking for a holiday apartment can therefore view the town as a starting point for a travel plan that combines culture, nature and outdoor activities.

Church, Chapel and Mining History

The pilgrimage church is a significant destination for anyone interested in regional architectural and religious history. A special detail can be found inside the church: the organ of Allerheiligen Pilgrimage Church dates from the first half of the 17th century. The Stoakraftweg leads to the pilgrimage church in Allerheiligen, creating a connection between a longer trail and the town centre.

Another historic site is the Heiligenstein Chapel. It was built in 1504 as the “Hüttl am Heiligenstein”. Since 1960, an altar has been set up in the chapel on Corpus Christi, from which the Gospel is proclaimed. For your travel planning, this site offers a concrete insight into living religious traditions without limiting a visit to a particular season.

At the Kaolinum Mining Museum, the working world of mining takes centre stage. A meticulously recreated show mine with numerous pieces of equipment illustrates the harsh working conditions of miners above and below ground. The museum covers 200 years of mining history, from 1803 to the present day. The Kaolinum high ropes course adds an active experience to this cultural-historical perspective: its Flying Fox course is 120 metres long, and the starting point is 12 metres above the ground.

Trails and Nature Experiences

The 48-kilometre-long Stoakraftweg leads through Mühlviertel Nature Park and the four nature park municipalities of Allerheiligen, Bad Zell, Rechberg and St. Thomas am Blasenstein. Its length makes the trail a planning consideration in its own right. You can decide which section or connection to include in your trip without treating the entire trail as a single day excursion.

A striking natural landmark is Falkenstein: the granite rock rises almost vertically 100 metres from the Naarn. On 13 September 1983, Falkenstein was declared a natural monument. At the Schüsselsteine on the edge of the forest are sacrificial stones and/or offering bowls. The Pechölstein can also be included in your trail planning; it can be encountered on the hike along the “Bergauf-Bergo Weg”.

The Right Holiday Apartment for Your Travel Planning

When looking for a holiday apartment in Allerheiligen im Mühlkreis, it is worth first identifying your own priorities. If the town centre, with its pilgrimage church and the starting point of the Jahreskreisweg, is to be the focus, you can specifically look for accommodation in the town. If you are mainly planning longer trails, natural landmarks or mining history, these destinations should guide your choice of accommodation and your daily itinerary. This allows families to take different interests into account: while some travellers want to discover historic sites and the museum, others may focus on the Stoakraftweg, Falkenstein or the Flying Fox course.
