Aschau i.Chiemgau: Moorland, Trails and Culture

Experience the Moor and Discover the Trails

At the Aschau Moor Bathing Area, the accessible nature trail is a 1.2 km circular route through the moorland, suitable for wheelchairs. Its length and circular layout make it easy to find your way on this outing. The Moor Bathing Area also offers bathing in moor water, a Kneipp facility and a barefoot trail. There are several ways to experience the moor; check the respective opening periods locally.

The Aschau Relaxation Trail offers views of the Aschau Valley, Hohenaschau Castle, the Parish Church of the Presentation of the Lord and the peaks of the Kampenwand. The viewpoints take in the valley, buildings and mountain peaks. Another way to experience the landscape on the move is the “Schossrinner Waterfall” Segway adventure tour. It starts at the Priental Hall in Aschau i.Chiemgau and heads through the Priental towards Hohenaschau Castle; the routes follow the Prien River. Before planning, check current availability and the schedule with the provider.

The Sinnstifterweg runs between Aschau im Chiemgau and Sachrang. It is open to walkers at all times and can be walked in either direction. This distinguishes it from the circular trail at the Moor Bathing Area: one route connects two places, while the other forms a loop. Check local trail conditions before setting out.

Industrial History at the Priental Museum

The Priental Museum documents ironworking and the history of the Cramer-Klett family across two floors. On the ground floor, the local history association presents more than three centuries of the region’s iron industry—from the mid-16th century to the end of the 19th century. This period gives the exhibition a broad historical framework: its focus is the development of a regional industry over several centuries.

The Priental Museum and its adjoining Burgladerl shop are generally open during the times when guided tours of the castle take place. If you plan to visit the museum, check the current availability of castle tours. This lets you coordinate the cultural part of your stay with the relevant visiting hours.

Winter Trails and Travel in the Priental

The wider Priental travel region has 18.5 km of cross-country ski trails and an additional approximately 20 km of cleared or groomed winter hiking trails. Trail conditions vary from one winter to the next. For planning, the activities are distinct: cross-country skiing on the trails or exploring the winter walking trails on foot. The best fit depends on the kind of activity you are looking for during your stay.

Guests from Aschau and Sachrang with a valid guest card can use public transport in MVV network zones 5 to 12 free of charge. Guest card conditions may change; check current local information. Bikes can be taken free of charge on the RB 52 between Aschau and Prien, but only subject to available capacity, so this is not guaranteed. Before travelling, check the railway operator’s current conditions.

Choose Your Holiday Focus

When choosing a holiday apartment in Aschau i.Chiemgau, the kind of holiday you want can be the deciding factor: the Moor Bathing Area and circular trail, views and trails, cultural history or additional activities in the Priental. These options differ by theme and season. If you want to combine several, also factor the respective visiting hours, provider information and trail conditions into your plans.
