Raubling combines a strong focus on nature around the Nicklheimer Filze and the Nicklheim Moorstation with the architectural history of the municipality’s churches. When planning your trip, these themes can be easily distinguished: moorland, birdlife and environmental education on the one hand, late Gothic architecture and older building elements on the other.

Moorstation and Nicklheimer Filze

The Nicklheim Moorstation was designed as an environmental education center for schools. The Nicklheim Moorstation experience trail first leads to a birdwatching station, then past the Green Classroom and a peat cutter’s hut to a viewing platform overlooking the moor. This route combines observation and learning with views of the landscape, while each stop has its own focus.

The Nicklheimer Filze is a habitat for peat mosses, sundews, numerous dragonfly species and many rare bird species, especially during the bird migration season. Thus, the nature theme includes not only birdlife but also moorland plants and dragonflies. The bird migration season is the explicitly highlighted seasonal feature; a birdwatching station and a habitat describe different aspects of this nature experience.

Late Gothic churches in the municipality

The municipality of Raubling has two late Gothic hall churches, in which older building elements play a distinct role. The Catholic branch church of St. Peter at Kirchplatz 2 incorporates masonry from a Romanesque predecessor building in its nave. The building thus brings together late Gothic form and masonry from an earlier construction phase.

The Catholic branch church of St. Nicholas at St.-Nikolaus-Straße 8 is a late Gothic hall church dating from the 15th or 16th century, with a late Romanesque core. Its west tower has an onion dome and dates from 1693 to 1696. Compared with St. Peter’s, three periods are identified here: the late Romanesque core, the late Gothic main structure and the tower, which has a specific date. The building history of the two churches can therefore be explored through different details, rather than classifying them solely by their shared late Gothic style.

More themes in the wider destination of Rosenheim

If you look beyond Raubling to the wider destination of Rosenheim, Amerang offers further cultural attractions. The Museum in Amerang Castle provides insights into castle architecture and the history of the noble family. The Amerang Farmhouse Museum of the District of Upper Bavaria showcases farmhouses, craft buildings and technical facilities from the Chiemgau region. Their focuses differ: the castle and noble history on the one hand, rural buildings, crafts and technology on the other.

The Amerang Open-Air Museum offers individual guided tours and programs for groups. Check in advance which options are currently available and whether arrangements need to be made. The moorland nature trail between Amerang and Halfing, created in 2010, explains how the moorland formed after the Ice Age and introduces its native flora and fauna. Its focus is therefore on the formation and classification of a moorland landscape; the Nicklheimer Filze represents a habitat and its plant and animal life, especially during the bird migration season.
