Discover Berg im Attergau: Buchberg, St. Peter's Church and Kronberg

Berg im Attergau lies at the foot of Buchberg and combines nature experiences, local history and a wide range of activities. A family-friendly hike leads from Berg to Buchberg and offers a picturesque view over Lake Attersee as far as the Höllengebirge mountains. This makes the village an interesting area to consider for anyone who wants to shape their trip around landscapes, exercise and special excursions.

Buchberg, views of Lake Attersee and regional nature

The “4 RW Buchberg from Berg i. A.” hike is suitable for an active day with the family. Its particularly impressive view extends over Lake Attersee as far as the Höllengebirge mountains. Those planning this tour can specifically consider Berg im Attergau when searching for a holiday apartment and align their preferred daily routine with their choice of holiday location from the outset.

There are also various nature experiences around Eggenberg. The Eggenberg Scout Camp borders a nature reserve and diverse woodland. On hot summer days, the Dürre Ager at the Scout Camp offers an opportunity to cool off. This combination of forest, water and protected nature complements the panoramic hike with a quieter side of the landscape.

Church history and finds from Berg

St. Peter's Church in Berg is the branch church of Saints Peter and Paul and holds great religious significance in the municipality of Berg im Attergau. The present building was constructed in 1775, incorporating older structural elements. Particularly noteworthy is the stone late Gothic shoulder-arch portal dating from the early 16th century. Anyone interested in church art and regional history will find a specific cultural point of interest here within the village.

Other valuable finds from Berg im Attergau can be viewed at the Haus der Kultur in St. Georgen im Attergau. This allows a stay to be complemented by a cultural visit without limiting the area's history to a single building.

Shared experiences for active days

The High Kix high ropes course is located in the village of Eggenberg in the municipality of Berg im Attergau. The course can only be completed as a team, making it an activity centred on working together. Another option is a hike with Attergau Alpaka: visitors can lead the alpacas themselves. The alpaca hikes are available year-round by prior arrangement and offer magnificent views of the Höllengebirge mountains.

This distinction is useful when planning a trip: while High Kix is a shared team activity, Attergau Alpaka combines exercise with the immediate experience of the animals. The two activities can therefore be given different priorities depending on the desired daily schedule. With Attergau Alpaka, the prior arrangement should be taken into account.

Winter at Kronberg ski lift

There is a small ski area around the Kronberg ski lift. When skiing, visitors can enjoy views of Lake Attersee in winter. Those who would also like to plan a winter sports day during their holiday can therefore combine Berg im Attergau as an area to search for accommodation with a specific winter experience. The view of the lake creates a distinctive contrast to the summer hikes on Buchberg.
