Discover Webau: Trails, culture and Mondsee

Webau can be explored through a variety of interests: trails through the valleys of the Rippach and Nessa, events at the ErlebnisKirche Wählitz, and swimming and leisure activities at Mondsee in Hohenmölsen each offer something different. When choosing where to stay, it helps to decide first what you would like to focus on, then take your travel plans into account.

Explore the valleys on foot or by bike

In the wider Webau area, hiking and cycling trails follow the valleys of the Rippach and Nessa. Keep an eye out for rare plants and wildlife along the way. The natural surroundings give an outing a different character: being active and observing your surroundings go hand in hand, and the trail is more than just a route to the next destination. If you enjoy spending time outdoors, these two types of trails offer a practical starting point for planning your day. The valleys provide a recurring landscape to guide your exploration.

Getting to Webau and finding accommodation

If you are travelling by car, the A9 is the main route to follow. From the A9, the Weißenfels exit and the newly built Schwarzer Weg provide access to Webau and Hohenmölsen; the drive takes about ten minutes. Allow some extra time for your journey, as traffic and roadworks can affect how long it takes.

Events and churches

The ErlebnisKirche Wählitz, which hosts religious and secular events, is located near the village of Webau. If a particular programme is important to your trip, check the event date in advance: some events may be seasonal or available for a limited time. The churches in Webau and Rössuln are different: due to their structural condition, they are not open to visitors.

Swimming and leisure at Mondsee

Mondsee Recreation Park in Hohenmölsen has a public swimming and recreation area. It includes a beach, a large sunbathing lawn and shallow sections along the shore. A playground and snack kiosk add to the facilities; there are also parking spaces, a bus stop and an e-bike charging station. For families, the playground is a useful point of reference, while other visitors may be most interested in the swimming area and sunbathing lawn. Mondsee is therefore a distinct option for those interested in water and leisure, unlike an outing focused on valley trails and observing nature. Facilities and access arrangements may change seasonally; check before your visit if they are important to your plans.

Planning also differs depending on the activity: on the valley trails, the focus is on your own activity, while at the ErlebnisKirche a specific event date may be decisive. If you are planning a visit to Mondsee, take seasonal access arrangements into account.
