Castle Moat: Path of the Senses, Humming Stone and Fruit Trees

Designed features and established greenery come together in one place. If you enjoy taking a closer look on holiday, the path, the humming stone and the interplay of stone walls and fruit trees offer various points of interest.

Activities for Groups
Pyrbaum’s recreation area offers a beach volleyball court, a soccer court, a dirt bike track and a summer Bavarian curling lane for groups of different ages. The four activities offer different ways to spend time together: the beach volleyball court and soccer court for ball games, and the dirt bike track and summer Bavarian curling lane as two other options. You can compare the activities based on whether you prefer ball games or one of the other two options. The recreation area therefore offers a different focus from the castle moat: here, the emphasis is on the choice of group activities.
The Castle Barn and Its Architectural History
The castle barn in Pyrbaum was built in 1659 on the retaining wall of the first castle complex, which was built around 1493. The dates refer to two different construction phases: around 1493 is the approximate date of the first castle complex, while 1659 is the year the castle barn was built. The structural relationship is also part of the town’s history: the barn stands on the retaining wall of the older complex. For travelers interested in culture, this chronology provides a specific point of reference for distinguishing the castle barn from the first castle complex in terms of age.
