Edling: Culture at the Stoa and Historic Buildings

Edling offers several distinct cultural themes to consider when planning your stay: the amphitheater at the Stoa, the Culture Trail cycling loop and historic buildings such as Krippnerhaus. When looking for a hotel, you can choose your focus based on whether you are interested in stage performances, cycling or architectural history.

Culture and Events at the Stoa

The amphitheater at the Stoa is used for open-air theatre, outdoor cinema, cabaret and both large and small festivals. Bands also perform on certain evenings at the open-air cinema at the Stoa. If a particular stage or music program is important to your trip, check the event dates in advance.

The Stoa boulder was discovered in 1989 during gravel extraction work. It is 7 m long, 4.5 m high and 5 m wide, and weighs about 200 t. Because of its unusual dimensions and weight, it could not be moved. This means that both the use of the amphitheater and the story of the boulder are among the distinct cultural themes at the Stoa.

Architectural History in Edling

Krippnerhaus is an 18th-century farmhouse. It was built using the block construction method common at the time, with a half-hipped roof and a raised gallery. Edling’s water tower was built in 1926. Together, these two buildings mark different points in architectural history: the farmhouse dates from the 18th century, while the water tower dates from 1926.

Cycling the Culture Trail

The Culture Trail is a 28 km cycling loop through Edling and Pfaffing. The 28 km refers to the entire loop. It leads to historically significant cultural sites; weatherproof information panels at the nine monuments provide useful information. If you would like to include a cycling route in your stay plans, the Culture Trail offers a specific total distance and explanatory stops to help you plan.

Edling’s themes also differ in form: the amphitheater is an event venue, the Culture Trail is a cycling loop, and Krippnerhaus and the water tower are historic buildings. This lets you choose between stage performances, cycling and architecture as different areas of focus when planning.
