Pilgrimage Church of the Holy Cross

Highlight • Religious Site

The Holy Cross Church in Kreuzpullach is a pilgrimage church built around 1709/10 on the site of a previous building mentioned in a document in 778. As a branch church, the church belongs to the parish of St. Bartholomäus in Deisenhofen. The pilgrimage takes place in the form of a petition for the feast of the discovery of the cross (May 3rd). Directly next to the church and with it forming an assembly group is the two-storey beneficiary house, which was also built around 1710 as a small castle for Joseph Martin Cleer.

Wayside Cross in Gleißental

Highlight • Religious Site

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect “their” cross at this point. (...) These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our life as it was in the life of Jesus.
So I wish that many people … visit the crosses, whether as places of stillness and breathing space before God, whether as places for community gatherings, prayer and praise to God.”
(Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig
in: "Crossroads... small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety")

Waldhaus at Deininger Pond

Highlight • Restaurant

The natural moor lake is a relic of the last ice age. The melting water currents that arose as a result of the warming washed out what is now the Gleißental and left behind the shallow lake. This is embedded in a charming landscape, the landscape conservation area "Südliches Gleißental" in the communities of Dingharting and Oberbiberg. In the years 1976/77 it was desludged and leased by the recreation area association. The lake is followed by a reed belt and a moor area, both of which may not be entered. Today the lake is a popular recreation area and, with its wooded surroundings, an attractive area for jogging in the warm season.

August 17, 2024,Gleißental – Deininger Weiher

The Deininger Weiher is only 1.8m deep, 100m wide and 260m long. It dates back to the last ice age, the Würm ice age, 10,000 years ago. The inn at the Weiher can be recommended, very good food.
