Hiking trails and getting your bearings

The Wolfern Fairy-Tale Trail is a distinctive hiking trail. It starts at the market square, opposite Café Lichtblick and near Kirchenplatz 3 at the Maypole Gap. This provides a specific starting point to help you get your bearings, in addition to the trail’s name.

Cultural history in Wolfern

The Wolfern Radio Museum shows the development of radio receivers. Alongside architectural and church history, the development of radio technology is another distinct theme to explore during your stay.

The pilgrimage church of Maria Laah was first mentioned in a document in 1212. Its spring rises directly beneath the church altar and is channelled into a fountain chapel; the chancel dates to the Late Gothic period. These details concern different aspects of the same place: its early documentary mention, the course of the spring and the art-historical classification of the chancel.

The present-day Losensteinleiten Castle was built by Bernhard von Losenstein in 1515. Between 1550 and 1570, Georg Achaz von Losenstein enlarged the castle. This distinguishes the original construction from the later expansion. The Auersperg family built the mausoleum of the Princes of Auersperg in its present form in 1910 and 1911. While the details about the castle concern two building phases in the 16th century, the mausoleum’s present form dates from a much later period.

Outdoor activities and cycling

At Waldbad, the activity trail includes an outdoor fitness area with seven pieces of equipment and a balance course for children. The trail therefore features a fitness area with a specified number of pieces of equipment and a balance course expressly intended for children.

The Traunviertel Tour is a cycle route that passes through Wolfern. On the fourth stage, the route leads to Wolfern and Gleink along the Über-Drüber-Landpartie. This distinguishes the tour’s general connection to Wolfern from the specific description of this stage.

The Hagleithen Forest Theme Trail is a 1.8 km circular route. It starts and ends at the Mausoleum of the Princes of Auersperg. Its length and the specified start and end point provide two concrete reference points for planning this hiking option.
