Steinhöring: Swimming Pond, Golf and Pilgrimage History

Steinhöring brings time by the water, golf and pilgrimage history together in one destination: the Maximiliansee is a swimming pond fed by groundwater, the municipality has two golf courses, and St. Christophorus tells a story of 500 years of pilgrimage. These different highlights can help you tailor your stay to the experiences that interest you most.

Golf courses: course layouts and panoramic views

In Zaißing, Golf-Club Ebersberg e.V. has an 18-hole championship course and the 9-hole Sepp-Maier course. Another golf course is Thailing, in the Ebersberger Forst. Its description highlights Alpine views during a round of golf and a sun terrace with sweeping views. The focus is therefore on different features: the two course layouts at Golf-Club Ebersberg, and the views and terrace at Thailing. If a round of golf is part of your travel plans, check the latest information from the respective operator beforehand.

Time by the water at Maximiliansee

Maximiliansee lies in the northeastern part of the municipality of Steinhöring. The artificially created pond, fed by groundwater, is described as a swimming pond. There are sunbathing lawns by the lake; sanitary facilities and a place to eat are at the sports grounds. When planning your visit, you can therefore keep both the swimming pond and the facilities at their separate locations in mind. If swimming is a key part of your stay, check the latest local information in advance.

500 years of pilgrimage history at St. Christophorus

The interior and furnishings of the St. Christophorus curacy church tell the story of 500 years of pilgrimage history. One specific detail is the series of legend panels on the south wall: they depict the life of St. Christopher and were created for the pilgrimage site in 1677. The church thus brings together a long pilgrimage tradition and a dated testament to its history. If you are planning a visit, check the current visiting arrangements in advance.

A distinctive focus on nature and forests in the wider Ebersberg destination

In the wider Ebersberg destination, the observation tower in the Ebersberger Forst offers a different perspective: those who climb its 169 steps can see across the Alpine foothills, from the Berchtesgaden Alps to the Allgäu. On particularly clear days, distant peaks over 3,000 metres high are also visible. The Museum Wald und Umwelt has stood directly beside the Ebersberger Forst since 2004 and focuses on the history of forest use and forest ecology. The wider destination thus offers two distinct themes: panoramic views and the study of forest history and ecology. In the wider Ebersberg destination, the Ebersberger Forst environmental education centre adds to this connection with nature by offering events on education for sustainable development; it has been awarded the “Umweltbildung.Bayern” quality seal. Most events take place outdoors and in the adjacent forest. Visits by school classes and other groups are possible.
