A Rococo church, views of the mountain range, and routes for cycling and hiking give Höslwang a variety of travel highlights. Day trips extend the view beyond the village. Depending on your interests, you can plan a stay focused more on culture, outdoor activities, or destinations in the wider region.
St. Nicholas Church: Rococo and Onion Dome
St. Nicholas Church in Höslwang is a Rococo church with a Baroque onion dome. Its Rococo furnishings date from the 18th century. This means the church brings together two distinct stylistic features: Rococo defines the church and its furnishings, while the onion dome is Baroque. Those interested in architecture will find a specific cultural highlight here, alongside the village’s landscape and outdoor activities.
Mountain Views and Activities
Höslwang offers views of the mountain range. Tennis and golf can be enjoyed with this view, as can a carriage ride. At the estate in Kronberg near Höslwang, horseback riding is also linked to views of the mountain range. The activities differ in how you get around: tennis and golf offer sporting activity, while carriage rides and horseback riding let you take in the views as you travel. If you plan to take part in any of these activities, check what is currently available in advance.
For cycling travelers, the long-distance cycle routes Benediktweg and Mozartradweg pass by Höslwang. The Panoramaweg around Halfing and Höslwang offers an easy walk: it follows field and forest paths and opens up panoramic views of the Alpine skyline. These routes offer different options: two long-distance cycle routes that pass by the village, and a hiking trail that includes both villages along its route.
Day Trips in the Wider Area
From Höslwang, day trips are possible to Lake Chiemsee, Lake Tegernsee, Reit im Winkl, Berchtesgaden and Passau, as well as to the neighboring Salzburg region and Tyrol. You can travel by car or with local bus companies. These destinations offer a range of options for days out beyond the immediate village program; when planning, you can choose your destination first, then consider which of the listed travel options suits you.
Culture and Landscape in the Wider Rosenheim Destination
In the wider Rosenheim destination, the museum at Amerang Castle offers insights into the castle’s architecture and the history of the noble family. The Amerang Farmhouse Museum run by the District of Upper Bavaria features farmhouses, craft buildings and technical installations from the Chiemgau region. The subjects are quite distinct: the castle focuses on the history of a noble family, while the farmhouse museum explores rural architecture, crafts and the region’s technical installations.
The Amerang open-air museum offers private tours and programs for groups. These offerings may change, and arrangements may need to be made in advance. Another point of interest is the moorland nature trail between Amerang and Halfing, created in 2010. It explains how the moorland formed after the Ice Age and introduces the local wildlife and plant life. The range of subjects in the wider Rosenheim destination thus extends from castle and everyday history to the development of the moorland and its natural environment.
