Edt bei Lambach combines nature experiences, leisure activities and places of remembrance. Its specific features range from a walking trail with four experience stations to memorial sites commemorating the former Gunskirchen concentration camp subcamp. This makes it easy to tailor your stay to different interests.
Nature Trail and Traun Floodplains
The nature trail in Edt bei Lambach is 4.5 kilometres long and passes four experience stations. The distance indicates the length of the walk; the stations add individual points of interest along the way. Both features can help you plan the trail as a standalone activity.
The Traun and its floodplains provide a habitat for numerous animals. Nature and sports activities offer different ways to enjoy your leisure time.
Leisure Facility and Activities
The Edt leisure facility has a beach volleyball court and a multi-purpose sports court. Registration is required to use the multi-purpose sports court. There is seating by the beach volleyball court, as well as a place to rinse sandy feet and hands. The pump track is at the leisure facility at Fischlhamerstraße 9. The facilities also differ in terms of planning: you need to allow for registration to use the multi-purpose sports court; at the beach volleyball court, seating and washing facilities round out what is on offer.
Memorial Sites and Local History
A memorial at the intersection of federal highway B1 and the state road towards the Saag district commemorates the former Gunskirchen concentration camp subcamp. A memorial stone with a plaque stands on the former camp site. The camp was located in a cleared forest area within what is now the municipality of Edt bei Lambach.
Since 2017, the “Walk of Solidarity” has taken place before the liberation ceremony, leading to the site of the former Gunskirchen concentration camp. As a commemorative march, it complements the permanent memorials with an event-based form of remembrance. The distinction between the monument, the memorial stone at the former camp site and the Walk of Solidarity provides three different points of reference for engaging with history.
Another cultural point of interest is the last of several wind-powered wells in the municipality of Edt bei Lambach. It stands in the village of Unterroithen, beside the Red Chapel, near federal highway B1 northeast of Lambach. The village, chapel, road and compass direction together provide precise directions to the site.
