Discover Notzing

Notzing offers a range of attractions for a trip: sacred architecture, castle history and the landscape around the Notzinger Weiher. If you are looking for a hotel in Notzing, you can start planning your trip around these themes. This can help you decide whether you are particularly interested in architecture and local history, or whether the pond and a cycling tour should shape your stay.

The Chapel and the Castle’s History

The Dreifaltigkeitskapelle Notzing is dedicated to the Holy Trinity and dates from 1680. This graceful Baroque central-plan building, with apses and a small onion dome, stands on a hill northwest of the village. A central-plan building arranges its architecture around a central space; apses are rounded, apse-like projections. Together, these features give the chapel its distinctive form. Two dates are useful for putting things in context: the year 1680 dates the chapel, while the moated castle in Notzing serves as a reference point for the cultural and social development of the town in the Middle Ages.

Notzing Castle also offers an architectural point of interest: it has a stepped gable and a small tower. Schloss Notzing is privately owned. The chapel and castle thus represent different aspects of the townscape and its history. If historic buildings are your main interest on your trip, they offer a focus distinct from the landscape around the pond.

The Notzinger Weiher and a Cycling Tour

The “Notzinger Weiher und Umgebung” protected landscape area currently covers 118.99 hectares in the district of Erding. The pond is also included among the other bathing ponds in the district of Erding that are monitored according to criteria based on the Bavarian Bathing Water Ordinance. This gives you a specific point of reference for water in the local landscape.

A cycling tour published in 2024 is titled “Around the Airport – Return from the Visitors’ Park to Poing” and includes an optional swimming stop at the Notzinger Weiher. The stop is described as an option during the tour, not as a required part of it. Since bathing conditions vary seasonally, check the current situation if you would like to include this stop in your plans. This way, you can explore the pond as a destination in its own right or combine it with the optional swimming stop on the tour mentioned above.

Oberding as a Separate Regional Context

Oberding also offers its own cultural and historical points of interest. Oberding, or its predecessor settlement Dieng, was first mentioned in a document in 750 AD. St. George’s Church in Oberding is described as an art-historically significant church with Baroque and Rococo furnishings. These details relate to Oberding and add to the picture of the region without describing the Notzing chapel or Notzing Castle.

Cycling enthusiasts will find further points of interest in Oberding: the “Ring of the Regions” cycling route passes through the airport and Oberding on its way back to Erding. SkulpTour III features wooden sculptures created in the summer of 2017 at the third and final International Woodcarving Symposium in Oberding. The route thus connects a clearly dated art event with a specific cultural theme.

Choose Your Travel Focus

When looking for a hotel in Notzing, you can start by asking yourself which theme matters most for your stay: the Baroque chapel and castle history, the pond, or an interest in the cycling and cultural themes described here. Notzing offers various points of interest to explore; Oberding is a separate regional context with additional historical and cultural themes.
