Aßling: Viewpoint, Parish and Regional Impressions

When choosing a hotel in Aßling, specific local landmarks can help structure your travel plans. The viewpoint on Büchsenberg, the Catholic Parish of St. George and the swimming pool on Schulstraße represent different aspects of the town. This lets you decide whether you would like to connect your stay with a viewpoint, the parish structure or a possible visit to the pool. If you plan to visit the swimming pool, please check current access arrangements in advance.

The viewpoint on Büchsenberg

The viewpoint on Büchsenberg was given a new look, and the steps on the ascent to the “Aßling Far View” were replaced. Büchsenberg is therefore a clearly identified viewpoint in Aßling to help you find your way around the area.

St. George’s and the swimming pool

St. George’s Parish in Aßling is a Catholic parish in the Aßling Parish Association. Since January 1, 2009, the association has included the Catholic parishes of Aßling-St. George, Emmering-St. Pankratius and Frauenneuharting-Mariä Heimsuchung, as well as the curacies of Dorfen-St. Ägidius and Steinkirchen-St. Martin. The parish association thus brings together several parishes and curacies under one name. For travelers interested in the church structure, this provides a specific cultural connection to Aßling.

The swimming pool on Schulstraße is located on the grounds of Aßling Primary and Secondary School. It reopened after extensive renovation work. If you would like to include the pool in your plans, find out about current access arrangements in advance.

More nature and culture in the wider Ebersberg destination

The wider Ebersberg destination offers everything from viewpoints and forest knowledge to seasonal events. The observation tower in Ebersberg Forest has 169 steps. From the top, the view extends across the entire Alpine foothills, from the Berchtesgaden Alps to the Allgäu; on especially clear days, distant peaks over 3,000 meters high can also be seen. The Forest and Environment Museum has stood right next to Ebersberg Forest since 2004 and focuses on the history of forest use and forest ecology.

The Ebersberg Forest Environmental Education Center is an institution recognized with Bavaria’s “Umweltbildung.Bayern” quality seal for events on education for sustainable development. Events are held mainly outdoors and in the adjacent forest. Visits by school classes and other groups are possible. Alongside the observation tower, forest ecology and educational activities are therefore also options in the wider Ebersberg destination.

In the market town of Kirchseeon, the Perchten parade is an established part of the run-up to Christmas. Every year, impressively designed masks, elaborate costumes, drums and bells shape the atmosphere and attract numerous visitors. A different seasonal highlight is the farm festival at Herrmannsdorfer, held once a year at harvest time. It features specialties from the fire pit, porchetta, pastrami, bratwurst, fresh Auszogne pastries and freshly tapped Schweinsbräu beer; the barns and workshops also open their doors. The events differ in timing and character: a pre-Christmas parade in the market town of Kirchseeon and a harvest festival at Herrmannsdorfer.

The City of Grafing Museum lists its opening hours as Thursdays from 6 to 8 p.m. and Sundays from 2 to 4 p.m.; it is closed on public holidays. Check the listed hours before visiting.
