Discover Bad Griesbach: Nature, Culture and Paths along the Rench

Bad Griesbach combines a distinctive landscape with special experiences for different kinds of travel days. The district lies in the narrow, steep-sided valley of the upper Rench where the Griesbächle flows into it. Between waterfalls, walking paths, a neo-Gothic church and the summer ski jumping hills, you can enjoy a varied trip.

Landscape along the upper Rench

Its location in the steep-sided valley gives Bad Griesbach a distinct landscape character. The Bad Griesbach waterfalls, surrounded by wild, untouched nature, are a particular attraction. Those who mainly want to spend their holiday outdoors will find a specific natural highlight here to include in their travel plans. The waterfalls can be considered a separate item on the itinerary, while the Rench shapes the landscape of the village and its surroundings.

A walk with a flexible return journey

One clearly defined way to experience Bad Griesbach is to walk from Bad Peterstal to Bad Griesbach. The route runs continuously along the Rench, providing clear orientation for anyone who wants to include a waterside walk in their stay. The walk is also suitable for prams. This can be important information for families when choosing shared activities, without implying a general assessment of other paths.

Those who do not want to walk back from Bad Peterstal to Bad Griesbach can take the bus or train for the return journey. This allows the outing to be organised in different ways: you can plan the route as an excursion with a return journey or factor the return into your plans for the day from the outset. When looking for a holiday apartment, it makes sense to first consider what role such excursions should play in your trip.

Ski jumping hills and unusual sporting history

The two summer ski jumping hills are among the most striking experiences in Bad Griesbach. They allow jumps of up to 60 and 30 metres respectively. International competitions are also held on the summer ski jumping hills. Alongside nature and walking, this adds a sporting venue to the itinerary and gives the village a distinctive profile. Visitors can take this aspect into account when planning their trip if they are looking for unusual sights and sporting impressions.

Church, treasure hunt and fountain temple

Cultural and family-oriented destinations are also part of the picture in Bad Griesbach. St. Anthony’s Church has a rectangular neo-Gothic nave with five bays, as well as two small chapels made of red sandstone. Those interested in ecclesiastical architecture will find a specific architectural detail here that differs from the natural and sporting experiences.

For families, the fairy-tale treasure hunt begins at Weiherplatz in Bad Griesbach. The designated starting point makes the activity a clearly defined item on the itinerary for planning a day together. Bad Griesbach is also home to the “Schwarzwaldquelle” fountain temple belonging to Schwarzwald Sprudel. When choosing your accommodation and excursions, you can therefore weigh up activities ranging from exercise and family pursuits to architecture and a distinctive local attraction.
