Discover Buch-Geiseldorf: Chapel, Fuxbau and Hiking Trail

Cultural discoveries in Buch-Geiseldorf

During your stay in Buch-Geiseldorf, you can combine culture, craftsmanship, a special community life and physical activity. Unterbuch offers very different points of interest for this purpose: a listed village chapel, the Fuxbau distillery, the traditional Day of the Fire Brigade and the M6 Safental hiking trail. This allows you to plan your trip according to your interests without every day of your holiday having to look the same.

Village chapel in Unterbuch

A prominent cultural point of reference is the village chapel in Unterbuch. It is a protected historic monument and is located at Unterbuch 130, 8274 Buch-St. Magdalena. Those interested in religious buildings, local history and protected cultural monuments can include this place in their personal itinerary. The exact address helps you organise your visit independently of the other experiences.

Fuxbau distillery and regional spirits

Another side of the area is represented by the Fuxbau distillery at Unterbuch 21/2, 8274 Buch-St. Magdalena. Visitors are asked to register briefly before coming. Fuxbau produces regional spirits by hand from natural, unprocessed ingredients. Spruce tips are used for Fuxbau Distilled Gin. This specific insight into the production process makes the distillery particularly interesting for travellers who not only want to choose local products but also learn about their ingredients and the craftsmanship behind their creation.

Visits to the new distillery of the Fuxbau distillery have been announced from September 2026. The announced facilities include a shop as well as rooms for tastings and workshops. If you are planning a trip for this period, you should factor the possibility of visiting and the registration requirement into your preparations, without assuming that the date represents a permanent offering.

The Day of the Fire Brigade as a shared experience

The traditional Day of the Fire Brigade of the Buch-Geiseldorf Volunteer Fire Brigade takes place in the village centre of Unterbuch on the last Sunday in April. At the Day of the Fire Brigade, fire engines and equipment are presented, and there is also a demonstration exercise. Rides in fire engines are available for children and adults. This event offers a clear focus, especially for a multigenerational trip: younger visitors can experience the vehicles up close, while adults can also follow the technology and the proceedings of the demonstrations.

Hiking with specific points of reference

Those who would like to plan time outdoors in addition to culture and local experiences can take the route of the M6 Safental hiking trail into consideration. The trail leads in the direction of Unterbuch, turns at Grubberg and runs via Jungberg towards Geiseldorf. These points provide a clear basis for planning your day. No information on the route length, duration or difficulty is available here; for specific hiking plans, you should therefore consult up-to-date trail information.

The right accommodation for planning your trip

When looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Buch-Geiseldorf, the focus you want for your trip may be the deciding factor. If you would like to visit the village chapel and Fuxbau, the cultural and craftsmanship aspects take centre stage. The Day of the Fire Brigade takes place on a fixed date, the last Sunday in April, while the M6 Safental hiking trail offers another opportunity for a more active day during your holiday. Choose your accommodation so that it suits your personal itinerary and preferred pace, and check the relevant visitor information in advance.
