Ulrichsgrün

Ulrichsgrün combines rural architectural history with hiking trails that offer different ways to explore the village and its surroundings. A protected agricultural complex, a former glass-grinding workshop, and the Goldsteig Loop give your stay specific themes. You can plan your vacation around whether you are particularly interested in historic buildings or would like to include hiking trails in your travel plans.

Historic Farms and Traces of Glassmaking

At Ulrichsgrün 1 is a protected historic agricultural complex. It includes a barn dated 1724 and a grain store built using block construction, dendrochronologically dated to 1787. The different dates and construction methods give the buildings a specific historical character. Those interested in rural architecture will find more here than a general reference to the village’s past: the barn and grain store are named as individual parts of the complex.

Historic buildings also form part of the village landscape at Ulrichsgrün 3 and 3a: there is a former farmhouse, dated to around 1830/40, and a furnished farm chapel. The chapel at Ulrichsgrün 3 is a gable-facing building with a pitched roof and a bell turret, and bears the date 1865. Its architectural form and the year given make it a distinct cultural-history feature alongside the complex at Ulrichsgrün 1.

The Grassl glass-grinding workshop is part of the history of glassmaking. It was one of the glass-grinding workshops in the Ulrichsgrün Valley and ceased operations in 1964. The village’s history thus extends beyond agriculture to another former economic sector. You can explore this connection when learning about the region, together with the Glass Grinder Trail, without mistaking the former workshop for a business that is still operating today.

Hiking Trails Around Ulrichsgrün

The Glass Grinder Trail is a circular hiking route in Waldmünchen and the Upper Bavarian Forest Nature Park, following in the footsteps of the glass grinders. The trail passes along Schützenstraße or by the Ulrichsgrün holiday village. Those interested in the glassmaking tradition can therefore consider the trail as a hiking theme in its own right; the history of the former Grassl workshop and the trail’s route offer different perspectives on the area.

Another option is the Goldsteig Loop No. 10 Waldmünchen, which passes through Ulrichsgrün. In the municipality, the Goldsteig Loop Waldmünchen connects the Goldsteig with the Nurtschweg. These details describe both the route through Ulrichsgrün and the loop’s place within the municipality. If you are looking for a vacation destination with hiking opportunities, you can take these trails into account as part of your orientation to the region when choosing accommodation.

Location in the Holiday Village and Accommodation Information

The Ulrichsgrün holiday village is situated above the district on a natural plot on a south-facing slope, at an elevation of 560 m above sea level. A footpath about 1.2 km long leads directly from the holiday village to the center of Waldmünchen. These are two specific points to consider when choosing a location: the holiday village’s position above the district and the stated length of the footpath to the center. Allow for the walk if the town center is one of your possible destinations.

The holiday village has a table tennis facility, a soccer field, and a children’s playground. You can consider these as specific features of the holiday village when choosing accommodation. The MX2 holiday home model is also described in more detail for occupancy: it accommodates up to six people and has three separate bedrooms. These details refer to the MX2 model; they do not automatically describe other holiday homes or accommodations.
