Accommodation in Odelzhausen
In Odelzhausen, different trail surfaces meet cycling routes with historical themes and a place with a monastic past. On the Monastery Loop, paved walking and cycling paths alternate with gravel, dirt and meadow trails. The Räuber-Kneißl Cycle Route tells the story of Mathias Kneißl from 1875 to 1902; the Taxa Chapel is a reminder of the former monastery site. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can consider whether you would like to focus your stay on trails, cycling history or historic sites.

Routes with different themes
The Odelzhausen Monastery Loop is distinguished by its changing surfaces: its route includes gravel, dirt and meadow trails as well as paved walking and cycling paths. This describes a varied trail surface without specifying a particular walking time.
The Räuber-Kneißl Cycle Route passes through seven municipalities in the WestAllianz München: Bergkirchen, Gröbenzell, Karlsfeld, Maisach, Odelzhausen, Pfaffenhofen a.d. Glonn and Sulzemoos. The route tells the story of Mathias Kneißl from 1875 to 1902. Glonnpark in Odelzhausen is a place to take a break along this themed route. Unlike the Monastery Loop, the focus here is not on the trail surface but on a historical theme.
Taxa and its monastic history
The Taxa Chapel was built in 1848 on the site of the Taxa Monastery, which was demolished in 1802, and bears witness to the area’s monastic past. This makes Taxa a place associated with two distinct historical dates: the year the monastery was demolished and the year the chapel was built.
Taxa is also a stop on the 7-Klöster-Weg cycle route. It connects the sites of seven existing or former monasteries in the Dachau and Wittelsbacher Land regions. This offers a different perspective on local monastic history from that of the cycle route, which focuses on several monastery sites.
Other routes in the area
The Sonnenweg leads to Odelzhausen. Near the destination, it includes a detour to the BioEnergiePark Oberwinden near Odelzhausen and passes the Miegertshausen solar park. Together, these routes offer different points of interest: the Monastery Loop with its varied surfaces, the Räuber-Kneißl Cycle Route with its history, and the Sonnenweg with the sites and route connections mentioned above.
In the wider Dachau destination
The wider Dachau destination also offers other landscape and cultural themes. Karlsfelder See is in the district of Dachau, directly adjacent to the built-up area of northern Karlsfeld. This 58.2-hectare recreational area is used year-round for walking, jogging, cycling and recreation. It therefore offers a distinct focus on activities by the lake.
On Petersberg near Erdweg is a Romanesque basilica built in 1104 that is still standing today. The 200-metre-long sculpture trail passes through Petersberg Forest; there are ten works of art at eight stops. The lake, basilica and art trail offer different themes within the wider Dachau destination from the routes and historic sites in Odelzhausen.
When choosing your holiday apartment, it helps to have a clear focus: Odelzhausen offers options for days spent exploring trails, cycling history and Taxa. If you would also like to consider lakes, art or monastic themes in other places, you can broaden your search to the wider Dachau destination.
