Oberrohrbach offers a range of ways to shape your stay: the branch church offers a glimpse of modern sacred architecture; the Golden Bründl nature trail runs along the Rohrbach stream and continues into the Rohrwald forest. There are also historic points of interest. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Oberrohrbach, you can choose whether architecture, hiking or local history will shape your stay.

Modern Forms in the Branch Church

The Oberrohrbach branch church was built in 2007–2008. Its modern architectural form combines exposed concrete with large glass elements. Inside, an aluminium cross extends from the floor to the ceiling; it also represents the theme of resurrection. The Stations of the Cross images are made of multi-layered glass and are particularly vivid in colour thanks to their special production process.

Several design elements can be distinguished in the church: the building’s modern form, its materials, and the cross and Stations of the Cross images inside. The cross reaching up to the ceiling gives the interior a vertical line and conveys the interpretation of resurrection; the vividly coloured images add an artistic accent. Visitors interested in sacred architecture can thus consider both the building’s form and the interplay of symbolism and materials.

Trails and Different Starting Points

The Golden Bründl nature trail is a hiking route that starts at the Golden Bründl car park. From there, it runs along the Rohrbach stream and then leads into the Rohrwald forest. Twelve stops explore various topics related to the Rohrwald. The car park is available to both hikers and visitors to the inn. The stream, forest and themed stops offer different points of interest if you would like to include this route in your stay.

The Oberrohrbach Trail has a different named starting point: it begins at the corner of Mitterberggasse and Waldstraße. By comparison, the nature trail starts at the Golden Bründl car park and includes twelve themed stops related to the Rohrwald. This gives you two specific starting points to choose from when planning your route: a street corner or a car park. In addition, the nature trail follows the route described from the Rohrbach stream into the forest.

Spring and Historic Points of Interest

The Golden Bründl spring is located in the Rohrwald forest on the L 32 regional road between Rückersdorf and Oberrohrbach, near the inn of the same name. It was already known as “Goldener Brunn” in 1385. The date and the early name give the spring a historical connection that differs from the trail’s focus on nature.

The “Schöne Säule” (Beautiful Column) also adds its own historic accent. The monument dates from the 18th century and was erected in gratitude for surviving a riding accident. Its story differs from the religious motifs of the branch church: the riding accident is central to the column, while the church combines modern design with religious imagery.

The branch church and the “Schöne Säule” also represent different periods: the church was built in 2007–2008, while the column dates from the 18th century. This comparison sets modern sacred architecture alongside an older monument and complements the nature trails with a distinct cultural focus.
