Discover Buchbach: trails, chapels and history

Buchbach combines local history with exploration on foot and by bike. The routes take in field monuments, chapels and wayside crosses, telling their stories along the way; historical themes accompany you as you travel. Buchbach is a market town in the Mühldorf am Inn district of Bavaria. For planning your trip, you can choose from routes of varying lengths, a leisure area in the town centre and other cultural attractions. Families and other travellers can tailor their stay to their own interests.

Market history and places of remembrance

Buchbach is recorded as a market town in 1266; in 1275, it was granted the privilege of holding markets for goods. The two dates are only nine years apart, but mark different milestones: first, the record of Buchbach as a market town, then the right to hold markets for goods. Together, they provide a specific timeframe for the town’s history.

At the southern edge of town, the Plague Cross commemorates those who died of the plague in 1634. More than 400 people died during the plague, including 40 in September 1634. The Schmiedberg Chapel offers a different religious perspective: it is dedicated to Mary and features an image of the Madonna and Child. The original image may have been replaced or copied.

Exploring on foot or by bike

The hike around the market town of Buchbach is about 33.3 kilometres long. The route is estimated to take approximately 6 to 8 hours on foot or 2 to 3 hours by bicycle. This comparison shows how the time needed for the same route varies depending on how you travel. Check the local trail conditions before setting out. The local selection also includes shorter and longer walks and cycling tours, with options for families, children and older adults.

The Buchbach Radlspaß is another specific cycling option: the route is 29 kilometres long and circles Buchbach. Route details may change if local trail conditions change, so check the information before setting off. This makes it possible to compare the longer loop with the other route options of varying lengths without treating the different routes as one and the same.
