Hausham: Nature, Mining and Regional Experiences
Accommodation in Hausham
Hausham lies right between Lake Tegernsee and Lake Schliersee and is a starting point for activities in the Tegernsee-Schliersee Alpine region. The town brings together a range of holiday experiences: nature at Huberspitz, a cross-country ski trail between Hausham and Agatharied, insights into mining history, and cultural and culinary offerings. When choosing a holiday apartment, you can consider which aspect of Hausham you would like to shape your stay—a day outdoors, a glimpse into local history, or a cultural and culinary experience.
Nature at Huberspitz
At Huberspitz, a nature trail leads into the local natural environment and mountain forest. It is open to all visitors and is particularly suitable for school groups; discovery and scavenger-hunt sheets accompany visitors as they explore nature. Allow two to three hours for the trail. The elevation gain is around 300 metres, and the route is not wheelchair accessible. This information can help you fit a visit into your holiday plans. Families with children will find that the scavenger-hunt sheets offer a specific way to engage with the surroundings and their special features, so the nature experience is more than just a walk.
Cross-country ski trail between Hausham and Agatharied
A specific route is also available for cross-country skiing: the trail is around six kilometres long and runs from its starting point at the central sports facility, past the cemetery and the Agatharied fire station, to the Haslrain climb. It can be skied using either the classic or skating technique and is rated easy to moderate. The trail has four access points. One is at the sports facility or Regenbogen kindergarten in Hausham. The length, route and access options offer clear guidance when deciding whether this cross-country ski trail suits your planned stay.
Mining history and church music
The Hausham Mining Museum brings the community’s former mining era to life through a variety of exhibits. On display are mining tools, mine maps, fossil and mineral collections, pictures and miners’ lamps. There are also numerous detailed models and an original representation of a mining site. The exhibits range from tools and maps to a depiction of the mining process, offering several tangible ways to explore local mining history.
Another cultural highlight is the Koulen organ at St. Anton. Dating from 1911, it has 32 stops. Regular church concerts have been held there since November 2013. The art and culture centre complements these offerings with changing exhibitions. If you are interested in music, exhibitions or Hausham’s industrial history, you can tailor your stay accordingly rather than exploring the town’s history through just one lens.
Festivals, herbs and spirits
Both the family-friendly folk festival and the Christmas market, held around the parish church of St. Anton, have a regular place in the annual events calendar. They are recurring parts of life in Hausham, and the folk festival is specifically described as family-friendly. For nature enthusiasts, Claudia Bernhardt regularly leads herb walks at the Moosrainer pasture. Participants learn about native trees and wild herbs. The walks cover their uses as food and beverages, in cosmetics and for other purposes.
The LANTENHAMMER Experience Distillery in Hausham is dedicated to the world of fine spirits. Its interactive, multimedia, self-guided tour includes a film and a tasting. Alongside the nature and cultural offerings, visitors can therefore also choose a self-guided distillery experience and explore regional flavours. When planning a holiday in Hausham, there is a range of options to suit different interests, from exploring the mountain forest to exhibitions, church concerts and herbs.
