Discover Frankenburg Am Hausruck

Frankenburg Am Hausruck combines impressive culture with a variety of paths through the landscape and nature. If you are looking for a holiday apartment for your trip, you can base your choice of accommodation on how you would like to spend your days: Would you like to explore historical sites, go on a longer hike, or combine views with botanical highlights? In Frankenburg, you will find various starting points for all of these activities.

Culture Around the Market Square and Dice Game

The Frankenburger Dice Game has been performed since 1925 and takes place every two years during the summer months. More than 500 amateur actors take part. This scale makes the play a special cultural attraction for anyone who wants to discover regional history not only through buildings, but also through a vibrant performance. The stated performance times are therefore linked to the biennial schedule and the summer months.

The market square also offers specific historical points of reference. The market fountain was installed there in 1846 and is a protected monument. Its obelisk features a sandstone statue of the “Immaculate Conception.” The war memorial also stands in front of the parish church. It commemorates those killed and missing in both world wars from Frankenburg and Redleiten. If you would like to discover different forms of remembrance and design during a tour of the town, you can include these features in your plans.

Hiking Trails with Different Focal Points

For a water-themed hike, the Frankenburger Water Hiking Trail is a good choice. It is around 10 km long and begins at the fountain in the Redltal valley. The trail follows the water pipeline via Ottokönigen into the town center and ends at the “Wirt am Riegl” inn. The approximate length is an important reference point for planning your day, while the route also connects the trail with several named places.

The Dice Game Hiking Trail has a different focus. It begins at the market square and ends at the open-air stage in Leitrachstätten, which accommodates 3,000 spectators.

The Dice Game Trail is a digital historical walk through Frankenburg and includes nine stations. It can be completed in a longer version of 6 km or in a shortened version and is considered suitable for families. Depending on the desired scope, you can therefore choose between two route options. The Botanical Hiking Trail has a different focus: It leads through the flora of the Grünberg nature reserve to the Botanical Garden in Hintersteining.

Views and Botanical Discoveries

Göblberg Observation Tower stands at an elevation of 801 m above sea level, is 35 m high and has 210 steps. From the top, the panoramic view extends from the Innviertel region across the Salzkammergut to the Salzburg mountains. For planning purposes, it is important to note that the tower is not accessible. Anyone wishing to include the view in their plans can take this information into account, as well as the number of steps.

The Hintersteining Botanical Garden encompasses an extensive biotope with a diversity of trees and shrubs from around the world. Together with the Botanical Hiking Trail, it offers a nature experience in which not only the route but also the plant life itself is the focus. The nature reserve on the 777-meter-high Hobelsberg, which is generally called “Riesn” in Frankenburg, preserves the primeval character of a gorge.

The Right Accommodation for Planning Your Trip

A holiday apartment in Frankenburg Am Hausruck is a particularly suitable option if you would like to organize your days flexibly between culture, walks and nature observation. The main consideration when choosing is which experiences you want to place at the center of your trip: The market square is the starting point of the Dice Game Hiking Trail and a place with several historical details. The Water Hiking Trail, on the other hand, begins at the fountain in the Redltal valley and leads via Ottokönigen to the town center. If you would like to combine different types of excursions, you can already take the information on route length, options, steps and accessibility into account when planning your trip.
