Egenhofen: Church Art, Mill History and Glonnau
Accommodation in Egenhofen
Egenhofen and its immediate surroundings offer a range of points of interest for culture and nature enthusiasts: sacred art in the parish church, mill history and a municipal forest area. The places and themes offer different perspectives—from a single work of art and historic buildings to a hiking route.
Mill and Church History
Furth Mill is located near Egenhofen. J. A. Lindt from Grafing built it in 1828; it was formerly the manorial mill of Weyern. In the wider destination of FĂĽrstenfeldbruck, Furth Mill preserves its grain-mill and sawmill machinery in its original, working condition. Its building history and preserved technology reveal two different sides of the mill: its former role and the machinery that remains.
The parish church of St. Leodegar in Egenhofen houses a life-size Entombment group. It was commissioned around 1726 and is attributed to Andreas Faistenberg. The date and the cautiously worded attribution are among the work's special details.
Nearby, in WenigmĂĽnchen, the parish church of St. Michael has a Late Gothic core that was altered in the Baroque style in 1730. Also in WenigmĂĽnchen is Calvary Hill, built in 1740, with a burial chapel, Stations of the Cross and a Crucifixion group. Thus, WenigmĂĽnchen is home to both a church with several building phases and an ensemble of several religious elements. Those interested in sacred architecture can explore these different forms.
Glonnau and Hiking Plans
Glonnau is the largest contiguous forest area in the municipality of Egenhofen. The municipality’s 2021 hiking and cycling guide describes a specific hiking option: “Route 3: Into Glonnau” is 9.7 kilometres long and has a stated duration of 2 hours and 25 minutes. It starts at the fire station in Egenhofen. The distance, stated duration and starting point give you specific details to help fit the hike into your day. If you are travelling with children, the stated duration can help you estimate how much time you will need; you can decide whether the route fits into your planned day based on your own pace and itinerary. Check current trail conditions before setting out.
More to Explore in the Wider Destination of FĂĽrstenfeldbruck
The wider destination of FĂĽrstenfeldbruck offers other topics to consider when planning your trip. A signposted circular route through Haspelmoor starts at Haspelmoor station. This gives you a different starting point for your hike than the route into Glonnau; you can distinguish the two routes by their respective starting points.
For culture enthusiasts, the Fürstenfeldbruck Museum is housed in a former monastery brewery. Among other things, it explores the work of the “white monks” of the Cistercian Order. In the Fürstenfeld monastery complex, the Abbey Church of the Assumption of Mary is considered one of the country’s most magnificent Baroque churches. The museum and church offer different perspectives: one focuses on the history of the order, the other on Baroque architecture.
The Fürstenfeld Event Forum hosts markets, trade fairs and balls, as well as performances ranging from Early Music and Summer of Piano to blues, jazz, dance, shows and cabaret. Check event dates for a specific programme, as individual events change. You can use your interests—such as architecture, music or hiking—as a starting point for further trip planning.
