Discover Taiskirchen im Innkreis

Taiskirchen im Innkreis combines the hilly, forested landscape of the Innviertel with trails, viewpoints, water-based activities and historic landmarks. If you would like to combine different interests during your trip, you will find opportunities here for exercise, observing nature, learning about local history and enjoying a winter outing. This also makes it easy to choose a holiday apartment or holiday home according to the travel rhythm you prefer.

Hiking with panoramic views and varied routes

The Granatzweg in Taiskirchen follows paved hiking and meadow paths and offers views of around 30 church towers. A special viewpoint along this trail is the Kapuzinerbankerl bench. On clear days, up to 30 church towers and communities can be seen from there. For your planning, this means you can set aside the trail as a longer excursion or plan a viewpoint as a separate destination within a day, without limiting the landscape to a single perspective.

Another opportunity for exercise is provided by the Fit-Treff running route in the Hoaberholz, the blueberry forest between Steinboden and Taiskirchen. It is located 150 metres from the football pitch and offers two route lengths of 2.5 km and 3.8 km. Especially if you are travelling with people who have different preferences, you can choose between the shorter and longer option. The Taiskirchen cycling and hiking trail is approximately 33 km long and appeals to travellers who would like to include a considerably longer route in their daily plans.

Water and winter in your travel plans

The Altmannsdorfer reservoir offers the opportunity to swim. It therefore complements the trails and viewpoints with an activity by the water. If, when looking for accommodation, you would like to include more than just excursions on foot or by bike, you can take this aspect into account when putting together your holiday days.

There is also a specific local attraction for a winter-oriented stay: the ski lift at Kinzenberg is located directly behind the church and is 200 m long. This information about its length helps you classify the outing as a separate item on your itinerary. It does not provide any current information about operation or snow conditions; you should check these details separately when planning your specific trip.

Churches, chapels and distinctive landmarks

The parish church of Taiskirchen was consecrated on 12 May 1455 by Auxiliary Bishop Sigismund of Passau. Its documented history therefore reaches far back and also gives a stay in the village a historical dimension. In Kainzing, there is also the Kainzinger Chapel, which has been placed under monument protection by official order pursuant to Section 3.

Among the striking commemorative landmarks in the surrounding area is the approximately five-metre-high Gumpinger Cross, featuring Christ and Mary. It was erected in 1875 after both farms in Gumping burned down. The weather cross was created in 1869 because of severe thunderstorms and storms. This selection is complemented by the more than 500-year-old “Sepperl Oak” near Paulusberg, whose trunk has a circumference of 5.70 metres at chest height. Destinations like these make it clear that the landscape can be explored not only through trails, but also through stories, buildings and distinctive individual landmarks.

The right accommodation for your travel rhythm

When looking for a holiday apartment in Taiskirchen im Innkreis, you can first decide which of these themes should shape your stay. Those who enjoy hiking or cycling will include the route information for the Granatzweg, the Fit-Treff running route and the approximately 33 km-long cycling and hiking trail in their daily plans. For cultural and historical interests, there are the parish church, the Kainzinger Chapel, the crosses and the Sepperl Oak to choose from. Those looking for variety can combine water, panoramic views and local history.
