Twelve stops on the DARINGER Art Trail of Life are located in the center of Aspach and are freely accessible at any time. This means you can fit the art trail flexibly into your stay. The Daringer Art Museum in Aspach complements this experience: its exhibitions present the life and work of the Daringer dynasty. The two offerings have different focuses: a series of stops in the town center and exhibitions about the artist dynasty. When planning your trip, you can weigh up whether you would prefer to explore art along a trail or in exhibitions.

Church Art and History

A document from 1067 refers to Aspach as a parish, or “Ecclesia.” Aspach Parish Church features numerous carvings by Schwanthaler and Zürn. The early written reference and the named carving traditions offer two different starting points for exploring local and church history: one is the parish in the historical document, the other the church’s artistic furnishings.

At Wildenau Castle Chapel, the altar dates from 1616 and the three reliquary shrines from around 1698. Services are still held there every week. If you want to take the weekly service into account in your plans, check the current schedule in advance, as service times may change. The chapel thus combines furnishings with clearly documented dates and a present-day religious observance.

Forest and Hiking Plans

Aspach lies on the edge of the Kobernaußerwald Forest and is part of the Innviertel region, which has more than 70 kilometers of marked hiking trails. For planning purposes, it helps to distinguish between Aspach’s location on the edge of the forest and the regional trail network: the trail mileage refers to the Innviertel as a whole. Markings and trail conditions can change, so check the information for your chosen route before setting out. This lets you take both the town’s location and the wider regional hiking area into account.

Wildenau Swimming Lake and Gstanzl Singing

Wildenau Swimming Lake can be reached by bicycle via the RÖMER-RADWEG. A playground and a motor skills park are located right next to the lake. These are two separate aspects to consider when planning: the cycle route relates to getting there by bike, while the two facilities are in the lake’s immediate surroundings.

Aspach’s Gstanzl singing event takes place every year. If you are planning to travel for this cultural event, check the specific event date before finalizing your stay. Scheduling it differs from planning a visit to the DARINGER Art Trail of Life: the event returns annually, while the trail stops are freely accessible at any time. This lets you weigh up a trip centered on an event date against a more flexible art visit.

Choose a Hotel to Suit Your Reason for Traveling

When looking for a hotel in Aspach, it is a good idea to first decide on the purpose of your stay: art in the town center, church art, hiking in the Innviertel, or the Gstanzl singing event each raises different planning questions. Then compare the address of a specific property with the places you actually want to visit. Take event or service times into account if they are important to your stay.
