Cycling and Hiking

Pühret has cycling routes. Quiet hiking trails pass close to cultural sights and attractions. If you want outdoor activity to be part of your trip, you can choose between focusing on cycling or hiking in a cultural setting. The choice depends on whether you mainly want to get around by bicycle or also visit cultural sites while hiking.

Chapels, Wayside Shrines and Roadside Crosses

The Wimmer Chapel dates from 1864 and stands on Riehberg. The Simandl Chapel is also considered a sight worth seeing in Pühret. In addition, the village and surrounding countryside are home to numerous chapels and wayside shrines, as well as roadside crosses and Calvaries. Culture-minded visitors can therefore explore both a specific historic building with a documented date and a wider variety of religious buildings and roadside markers. You can focus on one named destination or explore cultural landmarks throughout the village and surrounding area.

Pentecost Festival and Regional Cuisine

The annual Pentecost festival organised by the volunteer fire brigade draws visitors to the locality of Schlierberg. The annual Pentecost festival of the Pühret Volunteer Fire Brigade (FF Pühret) includes the Pühret delicacies evening, featuring regional specialities. The festival thus combines a recurring event with regional cuisine. If you plan to time your trip around the Pentecost festival, check the specific event date in advance.
