Geology trail with two circular routes
In Holzkirchen, the newly created geology trail explores topics ranging from the history of the landscape to local walking routes. The Holzkirchen Geology Trail (GLH) comprises 24 stops along two circular routes. If you enjoy walking and are interested in how a landscape formed, this is an opportunity to combine the two.

The northern route is 16 kilometres long and starts and ends at Holzkirchen railway station. The southern route is 19 kilometres long; it starts and ends at the Herdergarten. The two circular routes can therefore be distinguished by their lengths and respective starting points. This information can help you fit a route into your day’s plans, without implying a particular walking time.
The trail explains glacial geomorphological features in the Holzkirchen area. These include retreat stages of the terminal moraines, former meltwater channels and the formation of the Teufelsgraben. The stops thus explore various traces of the landscape’s development. A walk along the Teufelsgraben is also one of the visitor activities in Holzkirchen; the trail and the walk offer different points of interest for anyone who would like to spend time outdoors.
Cycling routes, a walk and water
There are several starting points for a cycling tour in Holzkirchen: cycling routes lead from the lively market square out into the surrounding countryside in less than five minutes. A cycling tour to Hackensee is another visitor activity. If you would prefer to plan a shorter walk, consider a stroll along the Steindlweg. These options differ in form—from cycling routes and a cycling tour to a short walk.
Another leisure option is BATUSA Holzkirchen. The swimming pool is 25 metres long and 12.5 metres wide. There is also a large water slide, a heated outdoor pool and a children’s paddling pool. In summer, a large sunbathing lawn is available. These specific water facilities may be a factor when deciding whether you would also like to spend time at a swimming pool during your stay.
Culture and events
KULTUR im Oberbräu brings together theatre, literature, cabaret, music, concerts, cinema, exhibitions, food and drink, and other offerings. The FoolsKino has 73 comfortable seats and a film selection that has won multiple awards. The FoolsTheater has space for events for up to 130 spectators. Both cinema and theatre are among the different forms of culture available in Holzkirchen.
The foyer at KULTUR im Oberbräu is also part of the cultural offering: it is open to artists from the region for exhibitions. The rehearsal room hosts a variety of participatory courses for all ages. Alongside literature, music and cabaret, there is a broad choice of cultural activities to consider when choosing your holiday destination. Holzkirchen also hosts lively markets several times a year.
Holzkirchen as a base
Munich city centre can be reached from Holzkirchen by S-Bahn or the Bayerische Oberlandbahn in about 30 minutes. If you are considering a visit to Munich as well as the local attractions, this approximate journey time can help you decide where to stay. When looking for a holiday apartment in Holzkirchen, you can weigh up whether you want to focus your trip more on the local landscape and activities, on culture and swimming, or also on the connection to Munich.
