Discover Eurasburg: Hiking and Culture

Hiking through Eurasburg Forest

The approximately 10-kilometre hiking route starts at the church square in Eurasburg and runs mostly through different parts of Eurasburg Forest. Its approximate length gives you a specific point of reference when planning a hike into your day. The forest is the defining feature of the route: it leads not just through a single section, but through different parts of the woodland. Check local route information before setting out.

Church and cultural history

The Church of the Holy Cross, Eurasburg’s landmark, stands on Kirchberg hill. Its origins are Romanesque; it was expanded in two further construction phases, around 1550 and 1875. These dates bring the building’s history to life: the church as it stands today dates back to several different periods. A work of art inside also offers a tangible glimpse into the past. The 1.50-metre-high cross, dedicated to the Holy Cross, bears the dates 1649 and 1717 and is listed in the Directory of Church Artworks in Bavaria.

Beuerberg Monastery adds more recent cultural history to these themes. In June 2025, it reopened as a church-run cultural centre with a hotel and conference centre after a major renovation. The reopening is a historical milestone; check directly with the monastery for current visitor information. Those interested in film history can also follow the Lausbubengeschichten circular trail in Beuerberg and the surrounding area. It leads to original locations from the Lausbuben films; information boards and QR codes featuring original film scenes are located at the filming locations. It is advisable to check local conditions before setting out.

Choosing the right focus for your stay

When looking for a holiday apartment in Eurasburg, it helps to start by planning your daily activities. The forest hiking route, the church’s architectural history and the circular trail in Beuerberg offer different points of interest. If hiking is your main priority, the approximate length of the forest route is a useful planning guide. If culture and film history are more your focus, the church and the trail may help you decide.
