Bischofswiesen: Cross-country skiing, churches and raised bog
Accommodation in Bischofswiesen
Bischofswiesen offers a range of reasons to explore: At the Aschauerweiher cross-country skiing centre, you can choose from eight trails covering a total of 16 kilometres; at Götschen, training and competitive sport meet a family ski area. Churches, a raised bog and a viewpoint overlooking the Watzmann also shape the range of possible holiday interests. When looking for a holiday apartment, you can start by considering whether winter sports, nature or culture will play the biggest part in your stay.
Raised bog and views of the Watzmann
Böcklmoos is in the district of Strub. Together with the adjoining Dachlmoos, it is considered the largest and best-preserved raised bog in the Berchtesgaden Alps. The two bog areas are a distinctive natural attraction in Bischofswiesen. Those interested in bogs and Alpine landscapes will find a different point of interest here from the town’s sporting activities. The viewpoint at Kastensteinerwand adds another highlight: From there, you can enjoy views of the Watzmann. You can take both of these attractions into account as separate interests when planning your holiday, without treating them as a single route.
Churches with distinctive features
The Maria Hilf pilgrimage church was completed in 1798/99 and is the oldest church in Bischofswiesen. It is in the elevated district of Loipl. Its history and setting make it a special destination for visitors interested in the town’s churches. The Schöpfungskirche in Bischofswiesen makes a very different impression: A timber-beam structure extends deep into the church interior. It is complemented by wooden picture panels in warm colours, created in 2008 by Schönau artist Christoph Merker. When planning your trip, if you want to give weight to historic churches and designed interiors, these specific differences are a good place to start.
Cross-country skiing and downhill skiing in winter
The Aschauerweiher cross-country skiing centre offers eight trails of all difficulty levels, covering a total of 16 kilometres. This means the offer includes trails at varying levels of difficulty, with a total trail length of 16 kilometres. One special feature is the stadium loop: Weather permitting, it is covered with machine-made snow. From Tuesday to Thursday, it is floodlit until around 8 pm. The approximate time and weather-related qualification are relevant when planning around this specific offer.
The Götschen ski area serves two stated purposes: It is a training and competition venue for elite sport, as well as a family ski area for local residents and visitors. Those who want to learn to ski or snowboard can also consider the Götschen ski school, which offers professional ski and snowboard lessons. Cross-country skiing, the ski area and lessons are distinct winter activities that you can weigh up according to your travel group’s interests.
A playground for a change of pace
The adventure playground by the school in Bischofswiesen has playhouses, a climbing net, a swing, a balance course and water features. Its various elements give children different ways to play and explore. For families who want to include a playground in their plans alongside nature or winter sports, these facilities provide another specific point to consider. This allows you to take the children’s interests into account when choosing the focus of your holiday, without basing the whole stay on a single activity.
