Edt bei Lambach: Nature, leisure and memorial sites

Explore Edt bei Lambach during your stay through three distinct themes: nature and walks, activities at the leisure facilities, and memorial sites related to the history of the former Gunskirchen concentration camp subcamp. This distinction is useful when planning your trip, since a walk, a sports facility and a memorial site each offer a different focus. The following points of interest will help you choose destinations according to your interests.

Nature trail and landscape

The nature trail in Edt bei Lambach is 4.5 kilometres long and passes four activity stations. This makes it a walking option distinct from the sports facilities at the leisure complex: you can use the stated trail length and activity stations as specific details when planning. If you are looking for a walk, this clearly identified route offers a concrete option rather than a general reference to walking opportunities.

The Traun and its floodplain forests provide habitats for numerous animals. The nature experience therefore includes not only a walk but also the wildlife of the floodplains. The nature trail and this habitat offer different points of interest for anyone whose trip is focused on nature and landscape.

Sports and leisure

The Edt leisure complex has a beach volleyball court and a multi-purpose sports court. The pump track is located at the leisure complex at Fischlhamerstraße 9. These different facilities offer specific ways to include physical activity in your stay: beach volleyball, the multi-purpose court and the pump track each have their own sporting focus.

Practical details also vary by facility. There is a seating area beside the beach volleyball court, as well as a place to rinse sandy feet and hands. Registration is required to use the multi-purpose court; bear this requirement in mind if you would like to play there. This will help you determine in advance which information is relevant to your planned activity.

Memorial sites and local history

Several specific memorials commemorate the former Gunskirchen concentration camp subcamp. A monument at the intersection of the B1 federal highway and the state road towards the Saag district commemorates the camp. A memorial stone with a plaque stands at the former camp site. The camp itself was located in a cleared forest area within what is now the municipality of Edt bei Lambach.

These details distinguish the memorial sites by their function: the monument at the road intersection commemorates the former subcamp, while the memorial stone and plaque stand at the former camp site. Since 2017, the “Walk of Solidarity” has taken place before the liberation commemoration ceremony, leading to the site of the former Gunskirchen concentration camp. For a trip focused on history, a permanent memorial and a named commemorative walk provide two distinct points of reference.

Another point of cultural and historical interest is in the village of Unterroithen. There, beside the Red Chapel and near the B1 federal highway northeast of Lambach, stands the last of several wind wells in the municipality of Edt bei Lambach. The precise location helps you distinguish this site from the memorials to the former camp and consider it as a separate part of local history.
