Anger: Model Railway, History and Lake

Model Railway, Tin Toys and Adventure Park

The model railway layout at Hans-Peter Porsche TraumWerk covers 400 m². It depicts landscapes from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with more than 200 trains running through them. This offers a view of several regions in miniature. Those interested in technology and carefully designed settings will find a different perspective here than in a traditional toy collection: the focus is on the layout, its landscapes and the trains that travel through them.

TraumWerk also displays a historic tin toy collection featuring more than 2,100 exhibits dating from 1860 to 1930. The collection covers a clearly defined period in the history of toys, while the model railway depicts landscapes from three countries. Together, these two highlights present technology and design in different forms: once as an expansive miniature world, and once through individual historic pieces. TraumWerk invites visitors to experience technology, design and tradition.

Hans-Peter Porsche TraumWerk’s adventure park includes a playground and a park railway. If you are planning a visit with children, you can consider these attractions alongside the exhibition as a separate area to explore. This makes it easy to plan your day around whether you are mainly interested in the collection and model railway, or would also like to include the playground and park railway.

Church History at Steinhögl and in Vachenlueg

The Romanesque hall church of St. Georg on the Steinhögl was built in the mid-14th century in place of a castle chapel. Blocks of stone from Roman or medieval building remains were used in its construction. This makes the building’s history especially tangible: the church is notable not only for its Romanesque style, but also for the reuse of older stones. For visitors interested in religious buildings and historical context, this provides a specific point of interest.

The Vachenlueg pilgrimage chapel has a different story. It was completed in 1848. In 1824, the roof truss had collapsed, but the shrine containing the miraculous image remained undamaged. Pilgrimages to Vachenlueg increased as a result. The sequence of the collapse, the shrine’s survival and the growing number of pilgrims shapes the chapel’s story as it has been handed down. This historical connection differs from the building history of St. Georg Church.

A Walk around Höglwörther See

The circular trail around Höglwörther See is flat and wide, making it suitable for a walk with a stroller. Allow about half an hour for this loop. It is a practical option for anyone looking for a walking route rather than a longer visit to an exhibition. The stated duration is approximate, so plan for a walk of around half an hour. The trail’s terrain and approximate duration help you distinguish this activity from the historical and cultural sites and the adventure park.

When looking for a holiday apartment, your preferred mix of activities may therefore be the deciding factor: Would you like to make time for the model railway and toy collection, explore historic churches or plan a short walk with a stroller? You can discover Anger through these varied interests without having to limit yourself to just one kind of outing.
