Those looking for views can instead choose the tour to Plessenberg. From there, views extend in all directions.

Chapels, Church and Paths Through History

Breitenbach am Inn can also be discovered through its sacred buildings. The Antonius Chapel in the Straßmühl district, dedicated to Saint Anthony, was first mentioned in the 17th century; around 1675, the miller Peter Kurz had it built. A bus stop for line 4113 is located nearby. The Antner Chapel is a Lourdes chapel built in 1910 with a shingle-covered gable roof. This cultural focus is complemented by the parish church of St. Peter, a Baroque parish church in Breitenbach am Inn.

The KulTour – Chapels in Breitenbach can be undertaken on foot or by bicycle. One narrow, steep connecting path cannot be ridden by bicycle; it is bypassed on the bicycle tour. This information is important when choosing your means of transport: travelling on foot and by bicycle does not result in exactly the same routes.
