Discover Eurasburg: Forest Trails and Cultural History

Eurasburg brings together nature and culture, with distinct themes to consider when planning your trip. The approximately 10-kilometer hiking route starts at the church square and runs mostly through the Eurasburg Forest. On Church Hill stands the Church of the Holy Cross; in Beuerberg, the Rascal Stories circular trail leads to original film locations. Beuerberg Monastery complements these local attractions as a church-run cultural center with a hotel and seminar house. Depending on whether you are interested in hiking, architectural history, film locations, or monastic culture, you can choose from various themes for your stay.

Hiking in the Eurasburg Forest

The hiking route around Eurasburg is approximately 10 kilometers long and starts at the church square. It runs mostly through different parts of the Eurasburg Forest. For planning, you can use the approximate distance as a first point of reference and check local route information before setting out.

Church of the Holy Cross: Origins and Building Phases

The Church of the Holy Cross stands on Church Hill, is Romanesque in origin, and is considered a landmark of Eurasburg. It was expanded during two further building periods, around 1550 and 1875. The central cross, dedicated to the Holy Cross, is 1.50 meters high and bears the years 1649 and 1717. It is included in the register of church art treasures in Bavaria. The church’s architectural history and one individually catalogued work of art thus offer distinct historical points of reference.

The Rascal Stories Circular Trail

The Rascal Stories circular trail runs through Beuerberg and its surroundings, passing original locations from the Rascal films. Information boards and QR codes featuring original film scenes are displayed at the filming locations. The route therefore connects the locations with on-site information about the films. Together with the forest route, it offers a different thematic perspective: here, film history takes center stage; there, the trail through the Eurasburg Forest. Check local trail conditions before setting out.

Beuerberg Monastery

Beuerberg Monastery reopened in June 2025 after a comprehensive renovation as a church-run cultural center with a hotel and seminar house. If you are planning a visit, check current visitor information directly with the monastery.
