In Staudach-Egerndach, different discoveries come together: art in a shop window, a church with several phases of construction, and paths through the Filzen or along the Tiroler Ache. When planning, it is worth distinguishing between the destinations by their character: some are in the village, while others take you to the surrounding area or as far as Marquartstein.

Art and Architectural History

Since 1999, the Atelierfenster by C. Lewerentz has displayed works by artists, mainly from the Chiemgau region, in the window of a former grocery store in the center of Staudach. The exhibition space thus connects contemporary art with the former purpose of the shop window. There is also a public bookcase at the Atelierfenster.

St. Andrew’s Church in Egerndach offers a different perspective on the village’s history. It was first mentioned in a document in 1260; when it was built is unknown. The round-arched portal and one apse window date from the Gothic period. The Baroque interior furnishings were added to the church after renovations in 1867 and 1895. The first documented mention should not be equated with the construction date of the present church building.

Paths through the Filzen and along the Ache

The Great Moor Circular Trail is a varied circular route through the Egerndacher and Staudacher Filzen. Several stops explore the moor. Topics include animals and insects, stones and pebbles, water, trees and flowers. The trail also makes a suitable cycling excursion. If you are planning a circular outing, you can choose a different type of route here than a trail that follows a river to another village.

One such route is the Planet Trail along the Tiroler Ache. It begins at Römerstein, east of the Achenbrücke near Staudach-Egerndach, runs along the Ache to Marquartstein, and is around 2.5 kilometers long. You can explore it on foot or by bicycle. For tour planning, the difference from the Moor Circular Trail is clear: the Great Moor Circular Trail passes through two areas of Filzen and loops back, while the Planet Trail follows the Ache to Marquartstein. Be sure to check current trail conditions before setting out.

Hiking Destinations Nearby

Two trails lead from the Staudach-Egerndach hiking parking area (Holzlagerplatz) to the Staudacher Alm. One follows the Aiblbach stream, while the other takes the Schnappensteig trail. The stated walking time for both routes is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. You can therefore distinguish between the routes by their course; the estimated time is the same for both. Check the Alm’s current operating details before setting out.

Another nearby destination is the Schnappenkirche in the municipality of Marquartstein. Several hiking trails lead from Marquartstein and Staudach-Egerndach through dense mountain forest up to the church on the Schnappenberg. From the picnic bench in front of the Schnappenkirche, the view stretches across the Chiemgau and Lake Chiemsee. This viewpoint and the trails leading to it are in Marquartstein, not in the village of Staudach-Egerndach.

Choose a Holiday Apartment to Suit Your Day’s Plans

When looking for a holiday apartment in Staudach-Egerndach, you can use your planned activities as a guide: for art and architectural history, there are the Atelierfenster and St. Andrew’s Church; for outdoor activity, the circular trail, the route along the Ache and the two Alm trails differ in their routes and stated walking times. This lets you choose a place to stay based on the activities you actually plan to do.
