Cycling and routes with different points of interest

For cycling tours, there is a cycling map of the surrounding area and eight circular routes around Pichl. The map focuses on the immediate surroundings, while the circular routes are based around Pichl itself. This gives you an overview of the surrounding area alongside eight specific tour suggestions as separate planning options. If you are planning a cycling trip, you can distinguish this focus from the described routes to churches, a castle and the countryside.

Four named routes offer different highlights. The Way of St. James follows meadow and forest paths to St. James's Church and starts at the commuter car park by the Geisensheim Volunteer Fire Brigade, right next to the motorway exit. The Hubertusweg passes Schloss Etzelsdorf and leads back to Pichl. The Irrachhöhenweg passes St. Peter's Church; the Panoramaweg offers wonderful views of the Trattnachtal valley as far as the Pühringer Chapel. The options include meadow and forest paths connected to churches, a route linked to a castle that returns to Pichl, and other church and landscape highlights.

St. James's: Pilgrimage and history

Groups of pilgrims visit St. James's Church regularly, and the Way of St. James also follows meadow and forest paths to the church. From 1602 onward, the lords of Etzelsdorf and Haiding were buried in the crypt. St. James's thus brings together an ongoing connection to pilgrimage and a specifically dated historical association. The Jakobsbauer family is happy to open the church door for people who would like to admire this “treasure.” As visitor arrangements may change, please arrange your visit in advance.

Art and culture in Pichl

Artists can present their work at the KulturCafe Pichl, which also hosts concerts and cultural exchange. For art lovers, this offers a different side of Pichl from its paths and religious landmarks. The specific program may change over time, so if you would like to plan your trip around an event, check the current dates in advance.

In Hochwimm, roadside display boards feature artists from the surrounding area. A panoramic map names the mountains that are clearly visible when visibility is good. Here, works from the surrounding area meet a labeled distant view.
