The Green Market gives Thursdays in Miesbach a regular focal point: it takes place every week from 06:30 to 13:00 on the protected ensemble of Market Square. If Thursday falls on a public holiday, the market is held on the preceding Wednesday. The square is a special attraction in the small old town, with its squares, winding lanes and small shops.
There is an e-bike charging station right by the maypole on Market Square. If you rely on this facility, confirm its status on site. The square thus combines a visit to the market with a practical reference point for cyclists.
Stadlberg, the Old Town and Miesbach Culture
The Mindfulness Mountain Trail crosses Stadlberg and is about three kilometres long. At seven stations, mindfulness prompts invite you to engage all five senses and become more aware of nature and yourself. Check local trail conditions before your visit. The MIESBACHER KULtouren offer a different focus: guided city tours for groups with special interests.
Miesbach culture also has several facets. The traditional Miesbach costume is a special cultural asset and a source of pride in Miesbach. The Portiunkula Church near the town centre has frescoes by Alois Dirnberger, who lived from 1823 to 1897. They depict biblical scenes and the life of Saint Francis. The Miesbacher GENUSStouren combine a leisurely stroll through the town with a culinary journey: selected shops, cafés and trendy restaurants showcase regional specialities and international cuisine.
Miesbach’s public baths are among the oldest in the region. As early as 1879, reports mentioned the influx of summer visitors and their preference for the surrounding lakes. This historical reference complements today’s interest in Miesbach’s cultural attractions and places close to town, without making any claims about current opening hours.
