Horseback riding, regional cuisine and the historic living quarters of a former farmhouse offer different reasons to visit Aschbach. The Reiterhof Aschbach offers riding lessons, trail rides and horse-assisted coaching; the Aschbacher Hof serves upscale regional seasonal cuisine. When choosing the village, you can decide whether riding, food or architectural history should shape your stay.
Horseback Riding in Aschbach
The Reiterhof Aschbach offers riding lessons for returning riders and advanced riders. Trail rides and horse-assisted coaching are also available. The activities have different focuses: lessons are specifically aimed at returning and advanced riders, while trail rides and coaching are other formats. If you are specifically looking for lessons, this information about the intended audience may be helpful. For other activities, check the booking arrangements directly with the provider before your trip.
Historic Living Quarters at Aschbach 17
At Aschbach 17, the living quarters of a former farmhouse are a two-storey building with a shallow-pitched gable roof and an eaves-side gallery. They date from the first half of the 19th century. The technical term “shallow-pitched gable roof” describes a gable roof with a low pitch; the eaves side is the side of the building along the lower edge of the roof. This makes the architectural features easier to understand without specialist terminology: the description combines the building’s former residential use with its number of storeys, roof shape and gallery. Anyone who takes architectural history into account when choosing a destination will find a specific example of a rural building type here.
Regional Cuisine at the Aschbacher Hof
The Aschbacher Hof serves upscale regional seasonal cuisine in its cosy dining rooms and on its panoramic terrace. The culinary offering has a different focus from lessons or trail rides, combining regional cuisine with a seasonal approach. If you would like to plan a meal into your day, check the opening arrangements before your visit.
Excursions in the Wider Feldkirchen-Westerham Destination
The wider Feldkirchen-Westerham area offers a variety of destinations for excursions. The 66 km Mangfall Cycle Path runs southeast from Munich to Rosenheim and follows the Mangfall directly from Feldkirchen-Westerham. The Kleinhöhenrain Bee Nature Trail, meanwhile, is 2.3 km long. The distances clearly distinguish the two options: the cycle path is a longer route with two named endpoints, while the nature trail is a shorter themed route. Both are part of the wider Feldkirchen-Westerham destination and take you beyond Aschbach.
Cultural history is also part of the wider Feldkirchen-Westerham destination. The pilgrimage church of Mariä Opferung in Oberreit houses a Late Gothic carved devotional statue dating from around 1470. This is a different kind of cultural-historical feature from the living quarters at Aschbach 17: one centres on a carved devotional statue, while the other focuses on the design of a former residential building. The municipality’s rail connection is also relevant when planning your journey: as of 18 June 2024, Feldkirchen-Westerham is a station on the Munich–Holzkirchen–Rosenheim railway line. Check the current timetable for your specific travel dates.
