Discover Zorneding and find hotels

Zorneding lies on the southwestern side of the Ebersberg Forest and also marks a change in landscape: the Munich gravel plain ends here, and the terminal moraine landscape of the foothills of the Alps begins. Sacred art, recurring ecumenical events and cycling trips offer further points of reference to help you get a sense of the place for your stay. If you are looking for hotels in Zorneding, these different interests can help you choose your destination.

Landscape and cycling trips

The transition between the two landscape regions is a distinctive feature of Zorneding. The municipality is also regarded as a starting point for cycling trips. Landscape and cycling are two separate considerations: one describes the natural environment, while the other relates to an activity. You can weigh up which matters more for your travel plans.

St. Martin's Church: building history and art

The history of St. Martin's parish church spans several periods. Its dilapidated predecessor was replaced by a Baroque church built between 1719 and 1721. St. Martin's also houses a restored Gothic Madonna dating from the late 15th century. A complete relic of the Roman catacomb saint Placidus, sealed into the wall behind glass, was brought from Rome to Zorneding in 1982. The timeline thus extends from the Madonna to the Baroque church and then to the relic's transfer in the 20th century.

Ecumenical events throughout the year

Ecumenical Taizé prayer services have been held in Zorneding since 2012. They take place once a month on Fridays in the parish hall or in the church of the Protestant Christophorus Church. World Day of Prayer services also have a long tradition: this day has been celebrated annually in Zorneding since 1979. If you are travelling for a specific event, it is advisable to check the current calendar.

The ecumenical Oasis takes place about twice a year at 7:30 p.m. Possible venues include the Christophorus meadow, the Christophorus Church parish hall or the Martinstadl; dates and venues may vary. Christophorus Church is regularly open for services and events. It is also open on Tuesdays from 5 to 7 p.m. and Wednesdays from 8 to 10 a.m. Check the opening times before your visit.

A separate look at the wider destination of Ebersberg

In the wider destination of Ebersberg, the observation tower in the Ebersberg Forest is a highlight in its own right. Climbing its 169 steps rewards visitors with views across the entire foothills of the Alps, from the Berchtesgaden Alps to the Allgäu. On exceptionally clear days, distant peaks over 3,000 metres high can also be seen. Also in Ebersberg, right next to the Ebersberg Forest, is the Museum Wald und Umwelt, which has been there since 2004. It focuses on the history of forest use and forest ecology. The views and the forest-related topics offer different points of interest there.
