Discover Wüstermarke

Wüstermarke combines horse riding and horse-drawn carriage rides with a rural landscape surrounded by woodland. There are also hikes in the Gehren Hills and Höllenberge, the Höllberghof open-air museum in Langengrassau, and local buildings with historical significance. This mix offers different ways to spend your stay: you can focus on experiences with horses, walking routes, or culture and local history. When choosing accommodation, it helps to first decide which of these interests will shape your trip.

Through the Landscape and Forest on Horseback

Wüstermarke is associated with horse riding as well as Kremser wagon and carriage rides through the rural surroundings and forest. These options differ in how you experience the landscape: on horseback or from a horse-drawn carriage, rather than on a hike on foot. If you are planning a trip with children, you can discuss in advance which of these options interests the group most and how it fits into the day's itinerary.

The specific rides and horse-riding options available depend on the provider and may vary. Before making your plans, ask the provider which options are available for your preferred dates.

Hikes and a Museum Visit

Wüstermarke is considered a starting point for hikes in the Gehren Hills and Höllenberge, as well as visits to the Höllberghof open-air museum in Langengrassau. When planning an outing, you can focus on either of two different things: getting active in the hills or visiting the open-air museum. You can decide which option better suits your planned day based on your travel group's interests.

Before setting out on a specific hike, check local trail conditions. This will help you adapt your plans to the situation on the ground and decide how much time to allow for a hike in your day's itinerary. For families with different preferences, comparing the options can be helpful: hill walks and a museum visit offer different themes and are experienced in different ways.

Church and Manor House

Local sights include a fieldstone church and a former manor house. The church's lower masonry and two doors on its south side date from the 12th or 13th century. This date draws attention to specific parts of the building; the term “fieldstone church” also highlights the material used to construct it. Those interested in historic architecture will find concrete points of interest in the materials, masonry and southern doors.

The former manor house provides another historical point of interest alongside the church. The two sights offer different ways to explore local history: the church's named architectural features and their dates take centre stage, while the manor house is notable for its former function. Alongside nature and activities, this can give a visit to Wüstermarke a cultural focus.

Choose Accommodation Based on Your Interests

When choosing accommodation, you can weigh these different interests against each other. Consider whether horse riding and a Kremser wagon ride, hiking, or cultural history will be the deciding factor for your trip. This gives your search for accommodation in Wüstermarke a direction that matches the experiences you actually plan to enjoy.
