Discover Kellberg: Views, Crafts and Nature

Kellberg combines impressive views, traditional regional crafts, art and nature experiences. If you are looking for a holiday apartment for a varied stay, you will find several ideas here for planning your days: from König-Max-Höhe and historic blacksmithing traditions to a very easy educational trail loop and the Raßbach natural bathing pond. The Thyrnau-Kellberg Tourist Information Office is located at St.-Blasius-Straße 10 in Kellberg.

Panoramic views from König-Max-Höhe

König-Max-Höhe is a particularly noteworthy viewpoint. From there, you can enjoy panoramic views over the Bavarian Forest, the Bohemian Forest, the Sauwald and the Neuburg Forest. In clear weather, the Dachstein and the Berchtesgaden Alps can also be seen. This makes the viewpoint a worthwhile excursion destination in its own right for anyone who enjoys consciously taking in landscapes and does not want to structure their holiday around just one activity. Weather conditions are part of the panorama’s special character: only with clear visibility does the view extend as far as the Alpine destinations mentioned above.

Discover art and blacksmithing

Opposite the Kellberg church, you can visit the “KUNST – KARTON – KREATIV” gallery. It features paper models and a painting exhibition. Another cultural stop is the Small Kellberg Blacksmith Museum. It showcases the blacksmithing tradition typical of Kellberg at its original place of work. Preserved tools and signs of use make the town’s craft history tangible. The history of the blacksmith’s house dates back to 1464; the present museum building was constructed as a smithy in 1905.

This creates an interesting combination of the present and the past for your trip planning: the gallery focuses on paper models and paintings, while the Blacksmith Museum draws attention to a craft typical of the town and its surviving traces. When choosing accommodation in Kellberg, you can therefore take cultural discoveries into account just as much as views and nature.

Educational trail, woodland information and water

The dowsing educational trail loop is classified as very easy. Along the route, several information boards provide details about, among other things, native animals in the woodland area. Anyone wishing to include nature-related topics in their stay will find a specific opportunity there to engage with the forest and its wildlife. The classification as very easy also provides clear guidance for personal excursion planning, without implying any additional characteristics of the route.

For a different holiday experience, the Raßbach natural bathing pond in the municipality of Thyrnau offers opportunities for swimming. When choosing a holiday apartment, you can therefore focus on different priorities: you can gear your stay more towards views and landscapes, culture and crafts, or nature and swimming. The activities mentioned give a holiday in Kellberg several distinct facets, without all excursions having the same character.

Chapel and Leonhardiritt procession

The Leonhardi Chapel is located next to the parish church in Kellberg. It was renovated in 2007. A Leonhardiritt procession takes place every year on the second weekend in October. This date is particularly interesting for your trip planning if you would like to combine your visit to Kellberg with a long-standing local tradition. When looking for a holiday home or holiday apartment, you can therefore also consider whether you would prefer a stay focused on landscape views, museum visits, nature experiences or attending this annual event.
