Protected habitats, trails connected with nature and family outings, and opportunities for art and sport give Eiselfing several distinct highlights. When planning a stay, you can choose whether to focus on nature, an outing with children, outdoor activities, or architectural and art history.
Murner Filz and Eiselfinger See
Murner Filz is part of the “Murn, Murner Filz and Eiselfinger See” Natura 2000 site designated under the Habitats Directive (FFH). The site covers more than 500 hectares in total; the fen is under special protection. Rare yellow-bellied toads and great crested newts live there. Eiselfinger See is also part of this Natura 2000 site and is specially protected as a habitat for wildlife and plant life.
Those wishing to explore the area on foot can find hikes and walks along the Murn and through Murner Filz. They offer peace, relaxation and ecological insights into local wildlife and plant life. The nature theme therefore focuses both on protected habitats and on exploring the area on foot. The information about rare amphibians gives Murner Filz a specific ecological focus.
Trails and outdoor activities
The nature trail at Schwarzmoosbach is an option for a family outing: it features more than 100 native and non-native tree species, an unusual wooden bridge and two children’s playgrounds. The Eiselfinger Hoamatrundn route leads through the municipality. A children’s quiz accompanies the route, and information boards at selected points provide additional information. The nature trail—with its trees, bridge and playgrounds—thus has a different focus from the Hoamatrundn, where the quiz and information boards help guide visitors.
For a sporting activity, there is the “Weihertrail” bike park at the Eiselfing municipal sports hall. The sports and leisure facility is described as suitable for children, teenagers and adults, and offers a beginner-friendly route as well as a section for advanced riders. The distinction relates to the routes on offer: one is beginner-friendly, while another section is intended for advanced riders.
Another leisure option is Kart 2000 in Eiselfing, a modern karting track with indoor and outdoor circuits. If you plan to visit the bike park or karting track, it is advisable to check the latest operating conditions before your visit.
Church and architectural history in Eiselfing
During a visit to Eiselfing, consider stopping by the parish church of Sankt Rupertus. The PietĂ is at the left side altar. Its signature and the date 1758 on the back identify it as a work by Ignaz GĂĽnther. If you would like to visit the church specifically, check in advance whether it is open to visitors.
The rectory is another tangible point of reference for the town’s architectural history. Built in 1888/1889, it is a two-storey solid-walled building with a gabled roof, knee wall and articulated façade, and is listed as a historic building. These details describe both its architectural form and its status as a listed building.
Culture in the wider Rosenheim travel destination
In Amerang, part of the wider Rosenheim travel destination, you can explore additional cultural themes. The museum at Amerang Castle offers insights into castle architecture and the history of the noble family. The Amerang Farmhouse Museum, run by the District of Upper Bavaria, showcases farmhouses, craft buildings and technical installations from the Chiemgau region. Their focus is clearly distinct: one centers on the castle and the history of the nobility, the other on rural architecture, crafts and technology.
