Miesbach – Urban Culture and Trails on Stadlberg

Circular Routes with Different Highlights

Stadlberg is Miesbach’s local mountain. It offers magnificent views and is easy to reach. The Mindfulness Mountain Trail starts above Kleinthal, is approximately 3 kilometres long and passes seven stations. The focus is on mindful awareness, walking and breathing, gratitude, observing nature and a simple mindfulness exercise from yoga. The trail thus combines exercise with a range of prompts to pause and reflect.

For a longer outing, there are several circular routes to choose from. The Miesbach Stadlberg Circuit starts at Habererplatz, right next to the town square. It is family-friendly, of medium difficulty, 8.1 kilometres long and takes 2 hours and 30 minutes; refreshments are available along the way. The family-friendly route Through the “Untere Wies” is also an easy walk, 8.0 kilometres long and takes about 2 hours and 15 minutes. For those who prefer a shorter route, the excursion to the former Schloß Wallenburg is an easy circular walk starting at Miesbach station: it is 4.7 kilometres long, takes 1 hour and 15 minutes and offers an opportunity to stop for refreshments.

Another easy route leads from Miesbach station via Agatharied to Schliersee. At 8.6 kilometres, it takes about 2 hours; there is also an opportunity to stop for refreshments. The distance and duration information helps you choose a suitable route for the day without treating the different trails as if they were the same.

Local History, Traditional Dress and Events

At the Miesbach Local History Museum, a core collection of more than 3,000 objects showcases the natural and cultural landscape of the Oberland. The collection includes examples of Miesbach furniture painting, religious folk art from the Miesbach pilgrimage era, and tools and equipment from guilds and crafts, as well as from homes and farms. A farmhouse parlour, a shoemaker’s workshop and a hatmaker’s workshop illustrate other parts of the collection. The museum also displays its valuable collection of traditional dress. Miesbach’s original traditional costume is preserved in the town as a unique cultural asset.

The Waitzinger Keller cultural centre in Miesbach hosts operas, operettas, musicals, cabaret, concerts, children’s and traditional events, and exhibitions throughout the year. For those who would like to get to know the town on a guided tour, the MIESBACHER KULtouren offer city tours for groups with special interests. The Haberfeldtreiben also forms part of regional history: the town and district of Miesbach play a very important role in it.

Market and Regional Delights

The Green Market takes place on Thursdays from 6:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the market square in Miesbach. If Thursday is a public holiday, the market is held on the preceding Wednesday. Another way to combine culinary experiences with the town is the Miesbach GENUSStouren. They take you on a culinary journey through time, with regional treats and international specialities at shops, cafés, bistros, restaurants and trendy bars.

When choosing a holiday apartment, it may therefore be important to consider whether you want to focus your stay mainly on the trails on Stadlberg, Miesbach’s culture and market, or its culinary offerings. In Miesbach district, the Tegernsee Schliersee Alpine Region offers mountains and lakes, as well as opportunities for hiking, cycling, winter sports and water sports. A family-friendly cycle network connects places of interest via traffic-calmed roads and safe cycle paths.

The Digital Hiking Badge also offers an added incentive to explore the trails: digital hiking stamps can be collected at mountain huts and peaks throughout the region. The stamps collected can be exchanged for real pins at one of the nine tourist information offices in Miesbach district. Games in the Bavarian League are held at the Miesbach ice rink, where seven youth teams in different age groups also train. There is also a competitive figure skating group for children aged 8 and over, a Bambini group for children aged 3 and over, and a skating school for beginners. Miesbach’s heated outdoor pool is one of the oldest pools in the region.
