Discover Gießübel

Gießübel brings together two specific points of reference: the road crosses the long valley of the Moosgraben at Gießübel, and the 5 Breweries Cycle Route passes through the village. In the wider destination of Geisenfeld, distinct nature and cultural attractions broaden the range of themes.

Cycling route and mobility

The self-designed 5 Breweries Cycle Route around Wolnzach passes through Gießübel. On the cycle route, Schillwitzried comes after Gießübel. This sequence of places helps you work out the route for your tour. Check the route before using it for navigation. This lets you include the cycle route in your plans without relying on the described route, unchecked, as a current navigation reference.

There is also a point of reference for mobility planning: Gießübel/Straßberg is planned as a stop on the VGI-Flexi tangential route between Geisenfeld and Münchsmünster. The service is planned to run Monday to Friday; the route goes towards Münchsmünster station. Before travelling, check whether the planned service is currently operating. This is especially helpful if you want to coordinate your choice of holiday apartment with your preferred day-to-day plans.

A historical connection in Gießübel

The Gießübel farmstead is associated with underground remains of an early modern settlement; its designation is D-1-7235-0377. So, in addition to the valley and cycle route, historical themes are also local points of interest for your stay.

Nature and culture in the wider destination of Geisenfeld

To the north of Geisenfeld lies the Nöttinger Viehweide - Badertaferl nature reserve, which covers just under 150 hectares. It is a heathland landscape rarely found in the Danube lowlands; signposted hiking trails lead through the area. If you would like to include a hiking landscape as well as Gießübel’s connection to the cycle route, this is a distinct nature-focused attraction in Geisenfeld. Please observe the rules of the nature reserve.

An art walk through Geisenfeld town centre and the Ilm meadows takes you to the modern open-air artworks Grüner Mann, Storchendenkmal and Nepomuk-Statue. The route also visits the Walk-Through Tree and ends in the sensory garden. It features barefoot paths over wooden planks, pebbles and sand, as well as fragrant herb beds with lavender, rosemary and mint. Public art and garden features to experience with the senses thus offer a different focus from Gießübel’s landscape and cycling themes.

The parish church of the Assumption of Mary brings together several historical periods. It was endowed by Count Eberhard II and his wife Adelheide, and for centuries served as the abbey church of the Benedictine convent founded in 1030. The chancel was painted with Late Gothic frescoes in 1516. Some of the paintings, which were plastered over in 1602, were uncovered again in 1971; the frescoes are considered an art-historical feature of particular note. The north aisle contains the Anna Chapel, with the Late Gothic miraculous image of Saint Anne with the Virgin and Child. It is still venerated in a small local pilgrimage today.

Another cultural attraction in Geisenfeld is the well-preserved Romanesque portal of the parish church of St. Ulrich Ainau. It is one of the district’s most significant sights and is highly regarded by art experts. Geisenfeld also has a weekly market featuring regional products and local producers from mid-May onwards.

When looking for a holiday apartment, you can first consider which themes you would like to shape your stay: the valley and cycle route in Gießübel, or the hiking, art and church attractions in the wider destination of Geisenfeld. Then choose your base to suit the plans that matter most to you.
