Discover Krumau am Kamp

Whether you are interested in history, a longer cycling loop or the Thurnberg Reservoir, Krumau am Kamp offers a range of options to consider when planning your trip. When looking for a hotel, you can take these interests into account alongside your personal requirements. The places and tours below give you an idea of the topics that come together in Krumau.

The Castle, Its History and Fairy Tales

At Krumau Castle, its historical context goes hand in hand with the conditions for visiting. After her divorce from King Ottokar II of Bohemia, Margaret of Austria withdrew to the castle from around 1261 until her death; it was part of her estate. Today, the castle is privately owned and can only be viewed from the outside. The lower courtyard is accessible when it is open. Check the opening conditions before your visit.

Krumau Parish Church also has a historical context: it was built in the 1780s using medieval building elements. The Old Hammer Mill is part of the area’s industrial history; it operated in Krumau for more than 300 years, until 1952. These are distinct aspects of local history: older elements incorporated into a building from the late 18th century, and the long operating history of a craft business.

The Fairy-Tale Tower offers a different cultural focus. It introduces visitors of all ages to the fairy-tale world of the Brothers Grimm and to fairy tales from around the world. So when planning your trip, you can include a fairy-tale-themed stop alongside architectural and local history.

Cycling Routes and Trails at Thurnberg Reservoir

The VOLT cycling loop is approximately 127 kilometres long. It runs from Rastenfeld to the dam at Ottenstein Reservoir, along Dobra Reservoir, through Krumau am Kamp and on to the head of Thurnberg Reservoir. Its length and route provide a clear framework if you are considering this cycling route as part of your trip. Route details may change, so check the information again before setting out.

The Thurnberg Reservoir Tour is a different route. It follows the northern shore of Thurnberg Reservoir to the Thurnberg Dam. It runs mostly along forest tracks, with a short section on a road around the dam wall. This gives you different details to consider when choosing between the routes: the VOLT cycling loop is defined by its approximate total length and the sequence of places listed, while the Thurnberg Reservoir Tour is defined by its route along the northern shore and its predominantly unpaved surface.

Leisure Activities on the Water

Krumau Leisure Centre offers pedal boats, rowing boats, electric boats, canoes and stand-up paddleboards for hire. Rental is seasonal. Before making this activity a firm part of your plans, check which options are available during your travel dates.

There is a large sunbathing lawn at the dam on Thurnberg Reservoir. Fishing from a boat is permitted in the Kampsee Thurnberg fishing area. If you would like to fish, check the applicable licence requirements beforehand. The sunbathing lawn, boating options and fishing regulations offer different ways to include waterside activities in your stay.
