Edlbach draws attention to the Edlbach Moor, a swimming lake and the Ramitscheder Mill. Other highlights include the Dilly Golf Club and the Enghagenrunde (R302), which passes the Edlbach golf course/swimming lake. This gives you a choice of distinct focal points when deciding where to stay: nature, swimming, golf and milling history.
Moor and golf
The Edlbach Moor is one of the two largest of the six more significant preserved moorlands in the Windischgarsten Basin. This classification gives the nature-focused theme a specific regional context. The Dilly Golf Club’s holes 10 to 18 are also laid out around the moor. The same landscape feature thus appears both in the description of the basin and in the layout of the golf holes. For choosing the focus of your stay, this connects nature and golf interests through a specific point of reference.
Swimming lake in a nature reserve
The Edlbach swimming lake is located in the “Edlbacher Moor” nature reserve. It is treated without chemicals and cleaned naturally. The bathing area includes a large swimming area and a separate non-swimmer area. This lets you distinguish three different aspects: its location in a protected area, how the water is treated and how the bathing area is laid out. These details help you assess the facilities based on their specific features.
Getting there and choosing a route
The Edlbach bei Windischgarsten BahnunterfĂĽhrung stop is served by Ă–BB Postbus routes 911 and 430. From there, it is about a ten-minute walk to the Edlbach swimming lake; this is an approximate guide to the walking time. If you plan to take the bus, check the timetables for the listed routes before setting off on your travel day. Another route option is the Enghagenrunde (R302), which passes the golf course/swimming lake in Edlbach. This gives you a choice between travelling to the lake and walking from the bus stop, or taking a route that passes the lake and golf course.
Ramitscheder Mill and Fraitgraben
Built in 1858, the Ramitscheder Mill is one of the few remaining functional mid-stream watermills in Upper Austria. Its year of construction, mill type and continued operation make it a specific cultural attraction alongside the nature and swimming facilities. The mill can only be reached on foot via Fraitgraben; bear this access route in mind when planning a visit. In Fraitgraben, a small stream ripples over several waterfalls. Here, a piece of technical heritage and a distinctive landscape feature stand side by side.
Plan your stay around your interests
When planning where to stay, it helps not to combine these interests into a fixed day-by-day itinerary. First decide whether the moor and golf, time at the swimming lake, or the mill and its walking access are the main draw for you. You can then plan the relevant routes around that focus.
