Petting: Circular Routes and Bavarian History
Accommodation in Petting
Petting can be explored via two circular routes and cultural-historical points of interest. The P3 runs through the western part of the municipality, Schnoat, while the Lodergäu Circular Route runs through the eastern part, Lodergäu. Both return to Petting. Another route leads from Petting to Schönramer Filz; the route to Mühlfeld Chapel adds a find from the region’s early settlement history to your local bearings. This offers a range of themes for planning your trip: a sequence of places, historical traces and a moorland area.
Circular Routes through Petting
The Schnoater Circular Route, signposted as P3, is about 14.5 km long. It runs through the western part of the municipality, Schnoat, and passes through Seeschneider, Streulach, Neuputzham, Putzham, Moosreuth, Wurzenberg, Ramstetten, Buschachen, Gabenstadt, Helming, Stubern, Filzschuster, Teichting, Schweighausen, Stötten and Seeberg before returning to Petting. The approximate route length provides a concrete basis for planning; the sequence of places shows the route of the circuit through the western part of the municipality. As signage may change, check the signs on site.
The Lodergäu Circular Route runs through the eastern part of the municipality of Petting, the Lodergäu. From Petting, it passes through Kühnhausen, Hennhart, Reichersdorf, Brandhofen, Kirchhof, Sondershausen and Zenzl to Mühlberg, then returns to Petting. Together with the P3, this sequence of places offers a second route through the municipality, this time to the east.
A separate practical note concerns the route to the remains of the historic Vierschanze: the bridge on this route is on private property, and the return journey follows the same path. Check local conditions before setting out, as access conditions may change.
Route to MĂĽhlfeld Chapel and Early History
The route leads from Petting Town Hall via St. John the Baptist Parish Church to Mühlfeld Chapel. A significant Bavarian burial ground was uncovered during construction work in the area along this route. The find offers insights into the region’s early settlement and adds an archaeological point of interest to the route. In this way, the route between the church and the chapel is connected with a theme from the region’s early history.
KĂĽhnhausen Lido on Lake Waging
Kühnhausen, a village in the municipality of Petting, is home to Kühnhausen Lido on the southern shore of Lake Waging. It has a large sunbathing lawn and a restaurant. The shore slopes gently, a non-swimmer area is designated, and the sunbathing lawns are spacious. As facilities may change, check the operator’s latest information before visiting.
Schönramer Filz: Moorland and Peat-Cutting History
A route leads from Petting to Schönramer Filz. Along the educational moorland trail, information boards explain the moor and peat cutting. Schönramer Filz is one of the largest raised bogs in southeastern Bavaria. Peat was extracted there on a large scale until 1998; today, the area is protected, and the moorland and heathland are once again being left to develop naturally. The landscape, its history of use and the areas’ development today give this destination a distinct focus alongside the circular routes and cultural-historical sites.
