Discover Oberbergkirchen

Oberbergkirchen offers several reasons to plan a trip: the geological exhibition in Aubenham, walks through green spaces, and church art in the village. Depending on whether you are interested in fossils, botany, or history, you can focus on different things. The following places and topics will help you plan your stay.

Geology and the History of Finds in Aubenham

The Aubenham Tertiary World is located at a former fossil discovery site. It displays fossils and provides information about the finds, as well as the climate and landscape of the period. Nine displays explore the landscape around Aubenham nine million years ago, and numerous finds are also on view. Over the years, the collection has grown to more than 1,200 finds. In the first display case, you can see original marl slabs with fossil leaf impressions.

The different focus of the exhibition and the outdoor area is also worth considering when planning your visit: the exhibition presents geology, while the outdoor area focuses on botany. Activities can be arranged for visits with school classes or kindergarten groups. Admission to the Tertiary World is free; the outdoor area is open to visitors. In winter, access depends on the weather. Check before your visit to see whether access is currently possible.

The Tertiary Forest and Walking Routes in Oberbergkirchen

In the Aubenham Tertiary Forest, walks among vegetation that is unusual in Central Europe today, along with views over the Tertiary hills in the northern part of the Mühldorf am Inn district, invite you to take a closer look at the landscape. Information boards explain how Tertiary plant life differs from today’s Central European vegetation. The walk therefore focuses both on the plants and on how the landscape has changed.

The Oberbergkirchen Village Activity Area includes a two-kilometre circular route through public green spaces. You can explore the village on foot and enjoy the natural surroundings. The activity area also includes six play and activity stations connected by footpaths. The circular route offers a way to explore the green spaces on a walk, while the stations provide another part of the activity area.

Church Art and History

The parish church of St. Bartholomew is dedicated to Saint Bartholomew. During an extensive renovation and partial redesign in 1938, the altars were restored to their original dark-brown early Baroque finish. The outer sides of the side altar feature gilded reliefs. These details link the church’s history to specific elements you can look out for during your visit. A church guide is available in the church or can be requested from the parish office.

The Brother Konrad Chapel is also among the sights mentioned in Oberbergkirchen; it can be seen from far across the Isen Valley. If churches and religious art are a particular interest on your trip, the chapel offers another local point of interest alongside the parish church.

Group Visits and Regional Products

Interested groups can visit Misthilger Farm in Oberbergkirchen on a guided tour. Advance registration is required; ask ahead whether a date is available. Misthilger Beekeeping specializes in beekeeping and sheep farming. Its products include honey and other honey products, natural cosmetics, lambskins, and fresh lamb.

Getting There and Choosing a Hotel

You can reach the Aubenham Tertiary World via the B12, Ampfing exit; via the A94, Mühldorf-West exit; or from the north via the B299, Neumarkt-Sankt Veit exit. Road conditions and signage may change, so check before you travel. If you are looking for a hotel in Oberbergkirchen, you can base your choice on the themes you want to shape your stay—for example, geology and botany, walks, or church art. When choosing, check the details of the specific hotel offer that matter for your trip.
