Blümersberg brings together several practical points for planning a visit to Tittling: the Granite Labyrinth, a stop on the VIA NOVA pilgrimage trail and the meeting point of two route variants. From Tittling’s market square, the walking path leads up Bergsteigerl to Blümersberg; the walk takes about ten minutes. This lets you combine a route to a named destination with a look at onward trail connections.
BlĂĽmersberg: Labyrinth and trail connections
The labyrinth on BlĂĽmersberg is made of local granite, has seven circuits and a path length of 210 metres. The approximately ten-minute walk, by contrast, refers to the walking path from the market square to BlĂĽmersberg. These are two different measurements to consider when planning: the time it takes to reach the site and the length of the labyrinth itself.
At Blümersberg, the Dreiburgenland loop of the VIA NOVA circular trail meets the northern VIA NOVA variant and leads down to Tittling’s market square. From there, steps lead to the Danube-Ilz Cycle Path. The Dreiburgenland loop also runs from Roitham along the Danube-Ilz Cycle Path to the emergency response centre in Tittling. If you plan to use one of these connections, check the exact route and local conditions before setting out. Tittling has two audio guide stations on the VIA NOVA pilgrimage trail: at the 1,000-year-old linden tree and at Blümersberg. Since audio guide facilities can change, it is advisable to check the stations’ availability in advance.
The washhouse and art garden
Tittling’s former washhouse was built in 1913 by merchant Josef Machhaus and restored under the direction of the Dreiburgenland Art & Culture Group. The Art Garden at the Washhouse is right next door; its artworks explore the themes of water and washing. Together, these features combine a building history with a clear date and an artistic perspective on the same themes. This is a different focus from Blümersberg: here, the emphasis is on the building’s history and garden art, while there it is on the labyrinth and trails.
Historic buildings in the surrounding area
In the area around Tittling, at Dreiburgensee, lies the Bavarian Forest Open-Air Museum. It comprises more than 140 mostly furnished buildings, representing different types of houses and farms in the Bavarian Forest from the 18th to the early 20th century; these include mills, sawmills, field monuments and chapels. The collection offers a broader view of regional architectural styles across several centuries, while the washhouse tells the story of a single building with a specific date. This makes it possible to distinguish between a specific historic site in Tittling and a larger collection in the surrounding area.
The wider regional setting: Passau
In the wider Passau travel region, rivers, forests and thermal spas shape the Passau Land. Thermal springs renowned far and wide are located in Bad Füssing and Bad Griesbach. The region’s themes thus extend beyond Tittling’s trails and cultural sites.
