Ulrichsberg offers culture, landscape themes and seasonal activities, each with a distinct focus. The local history and culture house is housed in the old town hall dating from 1660; its glass collection comprises more than 600 exhibits. The Moldaublick observation tower offers views of the Moldau Reservoir and of Adalbert Stifter’s birthplace in Hornà Planá, Czechia. There are also cross-country ski trails, themed trails and BÖHMERWALDPARK. When choosing when to travel, it is therefore worth considering whether you want to focus on culture, cross-country skiing or interpreting the Mühlviertel landscape.
Culture in Ulrichsberg
The Ulrichsberg local history and culture house is located in the old town hall dating from 1660. Its glass collection comprises more than 600 exhibits and gives the house a clear thematic focus. Those interested in glass will find a tangible cultural point of interest for their stay. Its historic setting and collection give the house two distinct aspects: the town hall building and its focus on glass.
The Ulrichsberg Jazzatelier also presents events in music, film and visual arts. The cultural offering thus extends beyond collections and local history to encompass several art forms. Glass is the focus at the local history and culture house, while the Jazzatelier focuses on its events programme. During the winter months, guided tours of the local history and culture house are available for groups by prior arrangement; before you travel, check whether a tour is offered for your chosen date.
Explore the landscape and enjoy the views
The Moldaublick observation tower offers views of two specific sights: the Moldau Reservoir and Adalbert Stifter’s birthplace in Hornà Planá, Czechia. This viewpoint therefore brings together a landscape connection and a cultural link to Stifter. If you would like a view that takes in not only the landscape but also its connection to a well-known figure, you will find a special point of interest here.
The information boards along the Torfaurunde trail cover the landscape history of the village of Seitelschlag, crop rotation, habitats for flora and fauna, peat extraction and monoculture. On the Sonniger Steig, by contrast, you walk through strip fields characteristic of the MĂĽhlviertel cultural landscape. They point to the systematic development and division of limited land that took place in the Middle Ages. The trails therefore have different focuses: the Torfaurunde covers several ecological and agricultural topics, while the Sonniger Steig highlights the historic division of the cultural landscape.
Cross-country skiing and seasonal activities
The Böhmerwald Nordic Centre has 78 kilometres of cross-country ski trails. The season lasts an average of more than 100 days, although snow conditions can vary. Beginners can get tips from experienced cross-country skiing instructors; equipment rental is also available on site. Before travelling, check both the snow conditions and whether tips and equipment rental are available for your chosen date.
BĂ–HMERWALDPARK, on the border between Ulrichsberg and Julbach, offers a different seasonal focus. From April to October, it features games, sports and numerous attractions for all generations. The timing considerations for planning a trip therefore differ: for cross-country skiing, the season length and changing snow conditions are important, while the park is open from April to October. If you are looking for a hotel in Ulrichsberg, you can first decide which of these activities best suits your planned travel dates.
