Andrichsfurt: Churches, Roman Road and Views

Andrichsfurt combines a distinctive hillside location with religious buildings, a hiking route and leisure activities. This offers different options for planning your trip: you can focus on historic buildings, a viewpoint, a trail through the Andrichsfurt woods, or sports and play. The aspects that matter to you may shape your choice of destination and the right time to visit.

Location and views from Stelzerberg

Andrichsfurt is situated on a hill between Saxberg and Stelzerberg. The Hochstraß viewpoint is on Stelzerberg, offering views across the Innviertel region as far as the mountains. The hillside describes the location of the village; Hochstraß is a specific, named viewpoint. If you want to take the landscape into account when choosing a destination, you can make this viewpoint a focus of your plans.

Parish Church and Bründl Chapel

The parish church in Andrichsfurt is Gothic and dates from the second half of the 15th century. The blessing of herbs takes place there every year on August 15. The building’s history and this recurring custom offer different cultural and historical points of interest: the date places the church in its historical context, while August 15 is a fixed date for the herb blessing. If the celebration is important to your trip, you can plan your visit around this date.

Bründl Chapel dates from the 17th century. Its ceiling frescoes depict the miraculous power of water; it also houses a Mercy Seat from the Schwanthaler workshop. The chapel therefore brings together a named subject in its artwork and a specific workshop attribution. The building periods also differ: the parish church was built in the second half of the 15th century, while Bründl Chapel dates from the 17th century.

Trails and leisure activities in the village

The Roman Road hiking trail runs through the Andrichsfurt woods and continues to a chapel. If you want to include a trail as a distinct part of your trip, this route connects the woods with another destination. Andrichsfurt also has two tennis courts. Tennis offers a different activity from the trail through the woods.

There is a children’s playground with a “Witch’s House” in the village centre. Artist Meinrad Mayrhofer designed it together with primary school children. The playground’s description therefore includes not only its location in the village centre, but also the story of how one of its features was created collaboratively. The playground combines a specific place to play with a work of art that children helped create.

Getting there and choosing a hotel

Whether travelling from Linz or Passau, the route to Andrichsfurt is via the A8 and the Ried im Innkreis exit. When planning your trip, you can match the reason for and dates of your stay to local attractions, including the religious buildings, the herb blessing on August 15, the Hochstraß viewpoint and the Roman Road. To find a hotel in Andrichsfurt, start with your travel dates and the focus of your trip.
