Discover Tittling: Waschhäusl, Blümersberg and VIA NOVA

The attractions vary in scale and theme—from a historic building to an art collection and named routes.

Waschhäusl and gardens

Tittling’s former Waschhäusl was built in 1913 by merchant Josef Machhaus and restored under the leadership of the Dreiburgenland Art & Culture Group. The Waschhäusl Art Garden is right next door, featuring art objects on the themes of water and washing. This brings together a specific building history and a clearly defined artistic theme. The building and the objects offer a cultural highlight distinct from the trails on Blümersberg.

The St. Vitus Bible Garden is also in Tittling. Its plants and design may change over time. If you include this garden in your plans, you should therefore not assume that any particular planting will remain unchanged.

Labyrinth and trails on Blümersberg

The labyrinth on Blümersberg is made of local granite, has seven circuits and a path length of 210 metres. A walking trail leads from Tittling’s market square to Blümersberg via Bergsteigerl; the walk takes about ten minutes. These are two different measurements for your planning: the 210 metres describe the route through the labyrinth, while about ten minutes is the walking time from the market square.

On Blümersberg, the Dreiburgenland loop of the VIA NOVA circular trail meets the northern VIA NOVA variant. From there, the Dreiburgenland loop descends to Tittling’s market square; from the square, a staircase continues to the Danube-Ilz Cycle Path. From Roitham, the Dreiburgenland loop also follows the Danube-Ilz Cycle Path as far as the alarm centre in Tittling. Check the exact route and local conditions before setting out.

There are two audio guide stations for the VIA NOVA pilgrimage route in Tittling: at the 1,000-year-old lime tree and on Blümersberg. As audio guide facilities may change, check whether the stations are available before your visit.

Museum village nearby

The Bavarian Forest Museum Village is located near Tittling, by Lake Dreiburgensee. It comprises more than 140 buildings, most of them furnished, representing different house and farm types from the Bavarian Forest dating from the 18th to the early 20th century. These include mills, sawmills, field monuments and chapels. The collection has a different focus from the single former Waschhäusl: here, the emphasis is on different building types and their varied uses.

Passau as the wider context

The wider Passau destination is shaped by rivers, forests and thermal baths. The well-known thermal springs are in Bad Füssing and Bad Griesbach. The Danube Cycle Path runs through the Passau region and received a four-star rating after an assessment by the German Cyclists’ Federation. As certification status may change, check the current status if the rating matters to your travel plans.
