A gently sloping sandy beach, a very easy chapel walk and a 35.7-kilometre bike tour give Taching a.See three distinct excursion options. You can plan your stay around a visit to the beach, a route past four sacred buildings or a longer ride through several named places. The differences between the bathing area, walking trail and bike tour make it easier to choose the right focus.
Taching Lido
Taching Lido has a gently sloping sandy beach that is suitable for children. At the same time, it lies within the landscape conservation area around Lake Tachinger. These offer two different points to consider when choosing a day-trip destination: the beach is particularly appealing to families with children, while its location in the protected area places the lido within the landscape surrounding the lake. A visit to the lido therefore offers a different focus from the two routes, which centre on distance and route layout.
Chapel circular trail: a short loop and sweeping views
The chapel circular trail is a very easy, 3.5-kilometre loop. It starts and ends at the New Church in Taching and passes four sacred buildings. This short route combines walking with a clear cultural theme. With the same start and finish point, it is easy to treat the loop as a standalone walking option; at 3.5 kilometres, it is also considerably shorter than the bike tour.
A rest area on the chapel circular trail offers views of Lake Tachinger and Lake Waginger, the Höllengebirge, the Osterhorngruppe, the Tennengebirge and Salzburg Fortress. Near Eging, next to the chapel circular trail, there is a Kneipp pool fed by fresh spring water, offering a chance to cool off. If you want to make sure you visit the pool, check whether it is currently accessible before you go. The rest area and pool add further specific points of interest to the sacred buildings, which may also play a part in choosing the route.
Rupertiwinkel panoramic tour by bike
The Rupertiwinkel panoramic tour is a 35.7-kilometre bike tour starting in Taching am See. It runs via Tengling, St. Coloman, Enhub, Fridolfing, Hipflham, Kirchanschöring, Lampoding, Wolkersdorf, Tettenhausen and Bicheln, then returns to Taching am See. The sequence of place names makes clear that this is a circular tour through several named places. It is advisable to check the route conditions before setting off.
When choosing between the two routes, the main differences are the mode of travel and the distance: the chapel circular trail is a very easy 3.5-kilometre walk, while the panoramic tour covers 35.7 kilometres by bike. If you prefer a short walk past sacred buildings, the chapel circular trail better suits that focus. For a longer bike ride through several places, the Rupertiwinkel panoramic tour is the better of the two options. The lido offers a separate option centred on its gently sloping sandy beach.
