Discover Hohenzell: Local Heritage House, Pfarrerhölzl and Cycling Path

Hohenzell combines an informative local history with the protected Pfarrerhölzl and an interesting option for cyclists: The Innviertel Cycling Path R22 joins the Antiesen Cycling Path here. Those planning a trip can therefore combine different focuses – from visiting historical landmarks and exploring a nature trail to going on a cycling tour. When looking for suitable accommodation, Hohenzell is particularly interesting if you do not want to plan cultural discoveries and days spent in the countryside separately from one another.

Local history at the Hohenzell Local Heritage House

A central cultural point of interest is the Hohenzell Local Heritage House. It includes the Kaplanstöckl, the Troadkasten and the Hohe Diele. The various components provide visitors with several thematic points of reference without restricting them to a single exhibition building. The granary also contains an old workshop and documentation about beekeeping. This combination of a connection to traditional crafts and an insight into beekeeping makes the Local Heritage House particularly interesting for visitors who enjoy discovering regional history through concrete objects and topics.

Church and art as further discoveries

The cultural side of Hohenzell also includes the Catholic parish church of St Michael. It is a listed monument and complements the Local Heritage House with a religious architectural monument. The Mount of Olives group contains a Mount of Olives torso by Thomas Schwanthaler. Those interested in sacred art, historic townscapes or the connection between craftsmanship and faith can take these topics into account when planning their trip. The places and works mentioned here offer different focal points: The Local Heritage House tells the story of local living and working environments, while the church and Mount of Olives group direct attention to religious tradition and art.

Nature in Pfarrerhölzl

Pfarrerhölzl has a different character. It is protected as a Protected Landscape Area by the nature conservation department of the Upper Austrian provincial government. The Pfarrerhölzl nature trail runs through this landscape. Its route passes through an old mixed deciduous forest in the municipalities of Hohenzell and Ried im Innkreis. Alongside the cultural topics, this offers a nature experience in which the forest itself provides the defining setting.

If you are travelling with different interests, you can consciously divide your focus: One day can be centred more on local history and art, and another on the landscape of Pfarrerhölzl. When choosing a holiday apartment in Hohenzell, this mainly means that you can select your accommodation according to the type of trip you want to combine – for example, with culture at the centre or with nature and activity as an important component.

Cycling in the area

There is also a clear detail for route planning: In Hohenzell, the Innviertel Cycling Path R22 joins the Antiesen Cycling Path. Cyclists can therefore include Hohenzell in their route planning and distinguish between the two cycling paths mentioned for orientation. Those who prefer to combine different experiences can link the cycling path with a visit to the Local Heritage House or a nature-focused activity around Pfarrerhölzl. The length of the resulting daily route depends on your own planning.

Choosing Hohenzell as your accommodation base

Accommodation in Hohenzell is suitable for travellers who do not want to limit their stay to a single attraction. The Local Heritage House with the Kaplanstöckl, Troadkasten and Hohe Diele, the Catholic parish church of St Michael, the Mount of Olives group, the protected Pfarrerhölzl and the route of the nature trail offer various reasons to get to know the area better. When searching for a holiday apartment, consider which travel style is most important to you: cultural sightseeing, observing nature or combining your stay with a cycling tour.
