Traubing – Weekly Market, History and Cycling Routes

Traubing combines a weekly market held every Saturday throughout the year with historical connections and several cycling routes. If you’re looking for a holiday apartment in Traubing, choose based on your plans: would you rather focus on the market and local history, or on cycling tours?

Weekly Market, History and Cultural Life

The Traubing weekly market takes place year-round on Saturdays in the forecourt of the property at Weilheimer Straße 8. The site is assigned to parcel numbers 92 and 92/1 in the Traubing cadastral district. Archaeological remains from the Late Middle Ages and the early modern period lie beneath the ground in the area of the Catholic parish church of St. Mariä Geburt and its predecessor building. Traubing was first mentioned in 1005 as “Trupinga” in a document from Benediktbeuern. The archaeological remains and the first written mention relate to different historical periods. The Traubing brass band also contributes to the cultural life of the village.

Cycling Tours with Different Route Profiles

Route 34, “Into the Tutzing Hinterland,” is an easy, 23.4-kilometre circular cycling tour. It leads south from Aschering and continues to Traubing; at Ilkahöhe, it offers a beautiful view over Lake Starnberg, the entire StarnbergAmmersee region and the Alpine range in the background. Route 06, “Across Traubing’s Heights,” is a very easy circular tour covering 10.5 kilometres and taking 2:10 hours. It leads from Feldafing via Aschering and the Höhenweg to Traubing, then back to the starting point in Feldafing.

The X8 Landscape Tour is 10.8 kilometres long and takes 2:30 hours. Its route runs from Traubinger Straße via Traubing and Aschering to Maisinger See. Although it is almost the same length, X8 takes 20 minutes longer than Route 06; the routes also differ: Route 06 returns to Feldafing, while X8 leads to Maisinger See. Weather conditions can affect the suitability of Route 06, and local path conditions may change on X8. It is therefore a good idea to check the weather and path conditions before setting out.

Getting Around by Bus

Bus route 958 runs hourly from Tutzing via Traubing and Machtlfing to Andechs; the journey takes 20 minutes. Check the timetable before travelling so you can factor the connection into your plans.
