Discover Amerang

When looking for a hotel in Amerang, it is worth first considering which themes matter most to you during your stay. The Freimoos Moorland Nature Trail offers insights into protected wildlife and plant life, as well as the historical and cultural importance of the moor; EFA Mobile Times focuses on vintage cars and a model railway. The attractions cover the moorland and local history, as well as vehicle chronology, model railways and play activities.

Freimoos Moorland Nature Trail: Nature and Local History

The many informative stops along the Freimoos Moorland Nature Trail offer insights into protected wildlife and plant life, as well as the historical and cultural importance of the moor to Amerang and Halfing. The trail connects the two towns. Nature and the history of Amerang and Halfing are therefore equally central to the trail.

Younger visitors can try a frog-spotting puzzle or a challenging moor quiz. There is also an accompanying book for the moorland trail. If you would like to explore nature and local history together, the trail brings both perspectives together at its stops. The puzzles add a distinct element to this nature and history theme; the accompanying book offers another way to learn about the moorland trail.

Vintage Cars and Model Railways at EFA Mobile Times

Since 1990, EFA Mobile Times has presented a chronology of German vintage cars from all makes. It also features the world’s largest mass-produced model railway in Gauge II. The two attractions are easy to distinguish: one presents German vintage cars from various makes in chronological order, while the other is a model railway in the clearly specified Gauge II.

EFA Mobile Times also includes the EFA Children’s World. It features a large Brio play table and interactive games with Karl the Beetle. Alongside vintage cars and model railways, EFA Mobile Times therefore offers specific play activities. These can be distinguished from the vehicles and railway, rather than being grouped together as a single attraction.

EFA Mobile Times was founded by entrepreneur and collector Ernst Freiberger Sr., who was an honorary citizen of Amerang. This historical connection links the collection to a named person and to Amerang. When choosing between the moorland trail and EFA Mobile Times, you can first consider whether you are more interested in nature and local history, vintage cars and model railways, or the play activities.

Culture in the wider Rosenheim destination

In the wider Rosenheim destination, two museums offer different cultural perspectives. The Museum in Amerang Castle provides insights into the castle’s architecture and the history of the noble family. The Amerang Farmhouse Museum of the District of Upper Bavaria showcases farmhouses, craft buildings and technical installations from the Chiemgau region. Their themes are clearly distinct: castle architecture and family history on the one hand, and farms, crafts and technical installations on the other.

The Amerang Open-Air Museum offers private guided tours and activities for groups. These visitor services may change; prior arrangements may be necessary. Check in advance which options are available for your date and whether you need to make arrangements.
