Enzenreith combines the forested landscape of the Schwarzatal with a local history in which mining has a concrete place. For a long time, Hart was home to a productive coal deposit; the mineral hartite was named after Hart. A grave monument from 1925 in the mountain cemetery commemorates the victims of a mining accident in Hart. In Enzenreith, mining history, mineralogy and a tangible memorial come together.

Mountain Cemetery and Historic Buildings

The mountain cemetery itself dates from 1904, 21 years before the grave monument. The cemetery and memorial therefore provide two distinct points of reference in time: the cemetery is older, while the monument commemorates the victims of the mining accident in Hart.

The branch church of St Florian was built in the late 19th century, and the Liebfrauen Chapel was erected in 1898. Both buildings complement the mining history with sacred architecture and highlight different aspects of the past. Chronologically, they predate the mountain cemetery of 1904 and the grave monument of 1925. This gives you a sequence of church buildings and later memorial sites to explore, each revealing a different side of local history.

The newly organised Bear Drive is also among the events in Enzenreith and the surrounding area. Check the current event dates before your trip if you would like to plan your stay around the Bear Drive.

Hiking and Cycling in the Schwarzatal

Enzenreith is a forested municipality in the Schwarzatal and invites families and those seeking peace and quiet to enjoy extended hikes. This makes time outdoors a focus in its own right, alongside the historical attractions. The emphasis on extended hikes suggests making deliberate room for walking in your daily plans, rather than treating it merely as a short stop.

The Schwarzatal Cycle Path is another sporting and leisure option in Enzenreith. Hiking gives you the chance to spend active time on foot; the cycle path offers a different kind of activity. Consider which form of exercise best suits your travel plans. Check the route conditions before setting off.

Cider and Regional Snacks

At the Fam. Herbert Haselbacher wine tavern, you can buy cider and regional snacks all year round. The offerings include pork, beef and venison specialities, as well as homemade fresh cheese, unfiltered cider and sweet cider, fine spirits and liqueurs. The selection combines hearty food with a range of cider and other drinks, adding a culinary highlight to your hikes and exploration of local history. Seasonal dates and the availability of individual products may change. Check which offerings are available on your chosen date before visiting—especially if you are coming for a particular product.
