Discover Weißling: Forest, Hills and St. Notburga

Weißling combines a landscape shaped by hills and hollows with a special ecclesiastical historical attraction. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home for their stay can include the village in their travel plans as a starting point for a hike through the Weißlinger Holz and for learning about St. Notburga. The focus is not on fitting in as many activities as possible, but on two clearly defined experiences: being active in the landscape and visiting an unusual site of sacred history.

Hiking through the Weißlinger Holz

An official hiking route leads via Glonnbercha, Waltenhofen and Weißling into the Weißlinger Holz. The forest is one of the scattered woodland areas that characterize the landscape around Petershausen. Together with the hills and hollows, it creates a landscape that is particularly easy to appreciate directly while hiking. The route connects several named sections, without requiring you to limit your plans to a purely woodland trail.

For planning a specific day, the easy hiking loop via Glonnbercha, Waltenhofen and Weißling is a good option. It is 10 or 13 kilometres long, leads through the Weißlinger Holz to the hilltop before Weißling and passes a snack bench at the Berghanerl. It then continues to the “Petershauser Wendelstein”. The two stated distances give you a clear choice for planning: you can choose the shorter or longer version of the loop while combining the landscape, the hilltop and the named waypoints.

St. Notburga: a defining cultural destination

In Weißling stands the little church of St. Notburga, which was built from 1750 to 1752 in place of a wooden chapel that had already existed for a considerable time. The building’s history gives the site a specific historical connection: in the 18th century, a new little church replaced the older chapel. For travellers who would like to learn about regional sacred history in addition to hiking, this context offers a distinct point of interest.

St. Notburga is also the only pilgrimage church in Bavaria dedicated to Saint Notburga. This gives Weißling a clear cultural characteristic that differs from the experience of the Weißlinger Holz landscape. Families and other travel groups can therefore incorporate different interests into their plans: while the hiking loop provides scope for an active outing, St. Notburga offers access to history and religious tradition.

The right accommodation for your plans

When looking for accommodation in Weißling, it is worth first deciding on your desired focus. If hiking is to take up most of the day, you should factor the distance of 10 or 13 kilometres into your personal plans. If you would like to combine nature and culture, you can also use the route through the Weißlinger Holz and the information about St. Notburga as a shared point of reference. A holiday apartment or holiday home in Weißling can therefore be selected primarily according to your desired travel itinerary, without having to infer specific accommodation features from the attractions described.
