Weidach lies 0.4 km west of Antholing on the municipal road to Jakobsbaiern. A particularly tangible way to explore the village’s history is through the historic Klinglwirt inn, which is linked to dated events and former local traditions.

Inn History and the Founding of an Association

Jakob Kirmair and his wife, Anna Klinglwirt, opened the inn in Weidach in 1905. The name “Klingl” also appears in a later account of the village: on 10 March 1929, the G.T.E.V. “Bairer Winkler” Baiern was founded at the “Klingl” in Weidach. These two dates mark two distinct chapters: the opening of an inn and the founding of the association. For visitors interested in local history, they provide a clear chronological framework.

Former Cuisine and the Forest Festival

The historic Klinglwirt inn served, among other dishes, Wollwürschte with mashed potatoes, Schweiners with cabbage, Saure Knödel, Bratensülze and Auszogne. In the past, a wooden bowling alley was set up beside the historic building every year for the forest festival. The dishes and the annual festival tradition represent different aspects of the inn’s history.

Baiern as a Wider Travel Destination

Baiern lies in the foothills of the Alps and is characterized by gentle hills; the municipality is also known as Bairer Winkl. Baiern has three churches, nine chapels and 45 wayside crosses, which bear witness to its religious and visual culture. In Berganger, the furnishings of the Neo-Gothic church are a notable example of their period. The Bairer Winkler traditional costume association is particularly committed to preserving Alpine customs and promoting Bavarian culture. From Antholing, there are breathtaking views of the nearby Alps, especially on Föhn days. The Bairer Winkler traditional costume association has more than 400 members. The history of the Frauenbründl Chapel also points to a former connection between pilgrimage and refreshment stops in Baiern: pilgrims came there, and as a result a small inn was built about 100 metres west of the chapel in 1848.

Dining and Farm Shopping in the Wider Area

In the wider area around Baiern, you’ll find the Dorfwirtschaft Berganger “zum Griechen” in Berganger, the Gasthof Netterndorf in Baiern and Summerer’s Hofcafé in Netterndorf. Check availability before visiting. As another food destination in the wider Baiern travel area, the Stroblberg farm cheese dairy sells its entire range of cheeses direct from the farm at the new Salettl on Thursdays from 14:00 to 18:00. There are no cheese sales on public holidays; check for holiday exceptions before setting off.

This makes it easier to decide which focus is right for your stay.
