Discover Gurten: Culture, Trails and Carriage Rides

At the same time, a stay can be varied with nature trails, a horse-drawn carriage ride and a visit to the playground. When choosing a holiday apartment in Gurten, it is therefore particularly interesting to consider which experiences you would like to focus on: cultural impressions, exercise along the water, a ride through the Innviertel region or quality time with the family.

Gurten between the town centre and the Gurtenbach

Those who want to start an outing right in the town will find a suitable starting point with the Bacherlebnisweg trail. The trail begins in the centre of Gurten and runs along the Gurtenbach stream. This allows you to get to know the surroundings from a natural perspective without losing sight of the town as your starting point. The stream gives the trail its clear thematic focus and makes it a distinctive way to experience Gurten.

Another walking option is the Gottfried Glechner Trail. It follows in the footsteps of the Innviertel dialect poet Gottfried Glechner and also leads up to Eichberg. Literary remembrance and movement through the landscape come together here. If you enjoy combining different types of experiences on your trip, you can consider the Bacherlebnisweg trail and the Gottfried Glechner Trail as two separate focal points for planning your day.

Culture and Special Perspectives

The onion-domed tower of the parish church is a landmark of Gurten that can be seen from far away and shapes the perception of the town. In addition, the rectory in Gurten is protected as a historic monument by ordinance. Together, these features give Gurten a cultural and historical dimension without reducing the town to a single building. Travellers interested in culture will find it worthwhile to include these elements in their exploration and to get to know the town consciously through its visible historical connections as well.

Innviertler Kutschenfahrten's horse-drawn carriage rides offer a special way to discover the surroundings and the Innviertel region from a different perspective. The service includes suitable carriages and teams for families, couples, friends and colleagues. For a stay with children, such a ride can provide a deliberate contrast to a walk or a tour of the town; couples and groups can include it in their plans as a shared experience. Innviertler Kutschenfahrten offers rides across the region.

Family Time and Suitable Trip Planning

The playground in Gurten invites visitors to linger with its attractive play equipment. For families, it can therefore be a programme item in its own right or a pleasant break between other activities. Together with the Bacherlebnisweg trail, the cultural points of interest and the carriage rides, it creates a selection of experiences with different characteristics.
