A stay in Oberaudorf can be planned around two distinct interests: activities at Hocheck and the Oberaudorf History Trail. At Hocheck, the focus is on disc golf courses and the summer toboggan run; the History Trail passes Luegsteinsee and Grafenloch Cave and explores the history of Auerburg Castle ruins. This gives you two specific starting points for planning: activities at Hocheck or a route exploring local history. Which of these perspectives matters most to you can help guide your choice of accommodation.
Disc Golf and the Summer Toboggan Run at Hocheck
The disc golf course at Hocheck has nine holes: three are right next to the summit station, and six are next to the middle station. The summer toboggan run at the Oberaudorf-Hocheck Adventure Mountain offers a different kind of activity. It is TÜV-tested, around 1,000 metres long and descends from the middle station to the valley station. Unlike the course, the run’s length and route are the practical details to consider when planning.
The History Trail and the Local Heritage Museum in the Castle Gate
On the Oberaudorf History Trail, you can explore the history of Auerburg Castle ruins. The route passes Luegsteinsee and Grafenloch Cave. At the end, the trail offers an optional detour to the Local Heritage Museum in the Castle Gate. Housed in the historic castle gate, the museum displays exhibits and offers insights into geology, settlement, inland shipping, Auerburg, mountain riflemen and tourism. The trail, with its focus on local history, and the museum, with its diverse subject matter, offer two different ways to explore. The current museum displays may vary. Opening hours are listed as Tuesday and Sunday from May to October, 2 to 6 pm. Check the hours before your visit.
More Cultural and Nature Topics in the Rosenheim Destination
If you also explore the wider Rosenheim destination beyond Oberaudorf, Amerang offers a distinct focus. The museum at Amerang Castle provides insights into the castle’s architecture and the history of the noble family. The Amerang Farmhouse Museum, run by the District of Upper Bavaria, showcases farmhouses, craft buildings and technical installations from the Chiemgau region. The Amerang Open-Air Museum offers private guided tours and activities for groups. These offerings may change; groups may need to make arrangements in advance.
The Moorland Nature Trail, created in 2010 between Amerang and Halfing, offers a focus on the landscape. It explains how the moorland formed after the Ice Age and highlights the native animal and plant life. In the wider Rosenheim destination, you can therefore choose from topics including castle and noble family history, rural buildings and technology, and the formation of the moorland landscape.
