Discover Utzenaich

Landscape and Trails

Utzenaich is located in the gently rolling hills of the Innviertel. Several hiking trails lead through the surrounding area. For travellers who enjoy exploring on foot, two distinct features of the village come together here: its gently rolling landscape and trails in the surrounding area. The measures are in public spaces, while the hiking trails run through the area around Utzenaich.

Nature-focused measures in public spaces include butterfly meadows, insect hotels, flower meadows and a tree-lined avenue designed to benefit insects. These features complement the landscape theme with elements of public-space design. Their presence may change over time.

Getting Here and Getting Around

Bus route 842 connects Ried im Innkreis with Sigharting via Utzenaich. For your travel planning, it offers a different point of reference from the hiking trails: the bus route connects the places mentioned, while the trails run through the surrounding area. Check the current timetable before travelling; if you plan to hike, check the specific route and local notices before setting out.

Festivals and Church History

Traditional festivals take place in Utzenaich throughout the year and offer a glimpse into local customs. The dates of individual events vary from year to year. If you would like to plan your trip around a particular festival, check its date for the relevant year.

Utzenaich's parish church is first mentioned in 1379 as an independently administered church. In 1883, the establishment of an independent parish was proclaimed. The years mark different points in the church's history: 1379 is the first mention of the church, and 1883 is the later proclamation regarding the establishment of the independent parish. This distinguishes the history of the church from that of the parish chronologically.

Remembrance at the Cemetery

A memorial to 34 children who died was erected in the cemetery in Utzenaich. The children's names are inscribed on it. The dedication by name connects the number 34 with remembrance of individual children.

A Historical Event in Wilhelming

In autumn 1944, the NSV (National Socialist People's Welfare organisation) established a so-called “foreign children’s home” in Wilhelming, in the municipality of Utzenaich. It housed 60 infants of forced labourers.

Planning Your Dates

These aspects differ when planning your dates: the hilly landscape is a permanent feature of the village, while festival dates change from year to year. For the bus connection, the timetable on the day of travel is what counts. So if you are planning your stay around a festival or a bus journey, check the event date and the suitable bus connection for your travel dates.
