Discover Harthausen: Village History, Cycle Paths and Golf

Harthausen combines an impressive village history with opportunities for active days. Highlights include the listed subsidiary church of St. Andreas, the distinctive water tower, the Vierbrunnen Cycle Path and an 18-hole golf course. Those planning a trip with varied interests can incorporate culture, cycling and golf into their daily itineraries here.

St. Andreas and Historic Buildings

The subsidiary church of St. Andreas essentially consists of a Gothic hall church dating from the 14th or 15th century. Inside, the high altar is one of the defining details; it was created around 1660/70. The historical record also reaches far back: a church foundation by a deacon and a priest is recorded for the year 814. St. Andreas therefore offers several points of historical interest, ranging from medieval building fabric to Baroque furnishings.

Another characteristic building is the former Harthausen waterworks. The listed water reservoir is shaped like a medieval defensive tower with a round-arched frieze. It is accompanied by a small water house with a stepped gable; the building is marked with the year 1901. The water tower also serves as a landmark in the central part of the village. Those interested in regional architectural history can explore these features on a walk through Harthausen without having to limit their stay to a single type of excursion.

Cycle Paths and Golf as Active Elements of a Trip

The Vierbrunnen Cycle Path passes the golf course on its way to Harthausen and then runs along the centrally located water tower. After the village church, the cycle path meets the Isar–Inn Panorama Trail. This connection makes the village particularly appealing to anyone who wants to structure their travel plans around named cycle routes and different stages. Families or travel groups with different preferences can set their own priorities: while some explore the village’s history, others can choose a cycling tour as an independent part of the day.

The Harthausen golf facility includes a 66-hectare 18-hole course. The driving range offers more than 70 grass tees. These specific dimensions give golf enthusiasts clear guidance when choosing their activities. Together with the Vierbrunnen Cycle Path, they create a varied setting for a trip in which exercise and discovery can go hand in hand, without every day having to follow the same pattern.

Surroundings and Accommodation Suited to Your Travel Plans

The municipality of Grasbrunn is located near the Bavarian Alps and lakes as well as the city of Munich. It lies on the edge of large woodland and local recreation areas; the leisure options mentioned include the Harthausen golf course and numerous cycle paths. When choosing a holiday apartment in Harthausen, the key consideration is therefore which experiences should be the focus. Those who prefer culture and local history can plan around St. Andreas and the water tower. Those who prefer active pursuits can take the Vierbrunnen Cycle Path, the Isar–Inn Panorama Trail or visit the golf facility into account.

For a trip with children and adults, this division can be helpful because not everyone has to follow the same daily rhythm. One part of the group can discover historical features while others choose a sporting activity.

Travel by Regional Bus

For public transport access, MVV regional bus route 240 connects Neukeferloh, Bahnhofstraße, via Grasbrunn and Harthausen with Höhenkirchen-Sieg.

Harthausen is therefore suitable as a destination for travellers who want to combine historic village features with cycle paths and golf. St. Andreas, the former waterworks with its water tower and the paths around the village offer different reasons to shape your stay.
