メッゲンホーフェンでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Würting Castle has changed hands and is just emerging from its slumber! Worth seeing!

The "Tirolerhof" campsite is located on a hill with a wonderful view. You don't necessarily need to reserve a pitch, as most sites are only used overnight. There are also shady spots under trees, and you can choose your own spot. The sanitary facilities are clean, with four toilets, one shower, a sink, and a dishwashing basin. A pitch for one vehicle and two adults, including all taxes and electricity, cost €35 per night. The owners are always busy but extremely friendly. Since there's also a snack bar, even simple meals (e.g., cold cuts) are served quite quickly. We had a Wiener schnitzel with fries and salad there. We highly recommend the campsite if you don't have great demands on amenities like a kitchen or refrigerator/freezer. The view is simply stunning, and there's usually a gentle breeze.

A lovely park with a pond and colorful birds in aviaries. E-bikes can be charged for free at the parking lot.

Great view all the way to the Alps.

Beautiful, quiet park. Perfect for a relaxing break.

Really nice view of the surrounding mountains

The construction of the church with its 36 m high church tower can no longer be clearly defined historically. The parish was probably founded from Passau and was first mentioned in writing in 1359 as a separate parish. The two side chapels (added in the 15th century) are now used to celebrate weekday services and baptism, as well as for confession and discussion. In the Austrian art topography, the parish church of Offenhausen is described as "perhaps the most important Renaissance-style market church in Upper Austria". The interior of the church (28 m long, 13 m wide and 13 m high) has received a harmonious, baroque ensemble through the main and the two side altars. The high altar picture shows the stoning of St. Stephen and was created by the famous Bartolomeo Altamonte (1754).

The moated castle of Würting was first mentioned in documents as early as 814 as a Romanesque farm, and is therefore the first documented reference to the community of Offenhausen. The owners of the moated castle have always been the determining force for the market town of Offenhausen. After an eventful history, the area went to Jörg Perkheimer in 1455, who had today's moated castle built from 1462. It is also thanks to the people of Perkheim that Offenhausen received market rights in 1534. After a few changes of ownership in the 17th and 19th centuries, the castle was in a pitiable condition when it was sold again in 1921. The new owner Heinrich Gutman therefore had the castle completely renovated and refurbished. During the Nazi era, Würting was an SA school, and the valuable facility disappeared at that time. After the end of World War II, refugees were billeted until 1952, when the Gutman family returned the property. However, the decay was already far advanced, and so the castle changed hands several times until 1975, when it was finally bought by the paleontologist Dr. Schaffer was bought. It now houses his collection. Unfortunately, Dr. Schaffer did not manage to stop the decay, and so the castle, which is not open to the public, is still left to decay today.
