Embach: Stone Chapel, Walking Route and Guided Activities

When looking for a hotel in Embach, it is worth first considering the interests you want your stay to revolve around. The Stone Chapel, the Embach loop trail and guided activities offer different focuses: cultural history, hiking and themed activities. Before your arrival, check the dates for guided activities so you can plan your travel dates around the programme items you actually want to include. The chapel provides a fixed historical point of reference, while the loop trail and guided tours are more about planning individual days.

The Stone Chapel and its building history

The Stone Chapel in Embach was built in 1751 on a rock. It is considered the oldest chapel in Angerberg. The year 1756 is visible on the gable; it should be distinguished from the stated construction year of 1751. This means the construction year and the inscription on the gable can be understood as two separate dates. The building combines a specific history of construction with its location on the rock, providing a cultural focus of its own alongside outdoor activities. If you do not want to plan your stay exclusively around hiking, the Stone Chapel offers another reason to include Embach in your itinerary.

Hiking and finding your way around Embach

The Embach loop trail leads into the district of Embach and then follows the forest back to the starting point. The path into the district and the return route by the forest therefore form one continuous loop. The car park at the hiking trailhead for the Hundalm Ice and Stalactite Cave is in Lettenbichl, in the district of Embach. When planning, you can distinguish between the loop trail, which returns to the starting point, and the car park as a starting point for the hike to the cave. This lets you first decide whether to focus on a circular route or on the trail to a named destination.

Guided activities for your stay

The guided full-day hike to Buchackeralm starts at Embach 1, 6320 Angerberg. As a full-day activity, it can be planned as the focus of an entire hiking day. A guided herb walk is offered at the medicinal and herb garden at Embach 124. It offers a different thematic focus: the hike leads to Buchackeralm, while the herb walk takes place in the garden. The difference is straightforward when making your choice: a full day of hiking with Buchackeralm as the destination, or a themed herb walk in the garden. Check the dates for both activities before you arrive.

Fishing and fish specialties in Angerberg

Relaxed fishing is possible at the Fischerstüberl at Forellenhof in Angerberg; freshly prepared fish specialties are also served there. This brings together two specifically named interests in one place: fishing and dining with a focus on fish. If you would like to include fishing or fish dishes in your travel plans alongside hiking, this offers a different focus from Embach’s cultural and hiking attractions. Service details may change, so check the current conditions before visiting. The Fischerstüberl is in Angerberg; the Stone Chapel and the Embach loop trail are in Embach.
