Buch am Erlbach: Höhenwanderweg and Culture
Accommodation in Buch am Erlbach
A four-day ski and snowboard course with day trips to St. Johann was scheduled for December 20 and 21, 2025, and January 3 and 4, 2026. The daily departure was at 6:30 a.m. from the Buch am Erlbach sports ground; these dates have passed. For a stay in Buch am Erlbach, the Landshuter Höhenwanderweg, church-related cultural activities and bus connections also provide practical points of reference. When looking for a hotel or other accommodation, you can therefore decide whether you mainly want to hike, visit cultural sites or connect the named places by bus.

Hiking the Landshuter Höhenwanderweg
The Landshuter Höhenwanderweg starts in Buch am Erlbach and follows well-maintained municipal paths for 18 kilometres to Landshut. The first day’s stage is also listed as 18 kilometres; it runs from Buch am Erlbach via Eching and Tiefenbach, passing sights such as Kalvarienberg, Kronwinkl Castle and the castle site at Schloßberg. The main route and the first day’s stage are both listed as 18 kilometres; the sights add a specific route to the distance information. This lets you assess the route not only by its length but also by the named places along the stage. Before setting out, check locally for any temporary diversions.
Church culture and library
The parish church in Buch includes the branch churches in Holzen, Freidling, Thann/Vatersdorf and Obererlbach. The Buch am Erlbach parish contributes to the community’s cultural life through children’s and youth groups, talks, and musical events featuring children’s, youth and adult choirs. The programme therefore includes both groups and talks as well as choral music. Since autumn 2000, a public library in the renovated parish barn has added to the cultural offering. If you plan to attend an event, check the latest dates; for the library, check opening hours in advance.
Bus connections and planning
Bus route 676 runs from Großaibach via Buch am Erlbach, Weixerau and Kronwinkl to Landshut. Bus route 686 connects Großaibach, Buch am Erlbach and Moosburg. This offers a practical distinction when planning around destinations: Landshut, Weixerau and Kronwinkl are served by route 676, while Moosburg is served by route 686. If you want to use a specific bus connection, check the current routes and timetables before travelling, as both may change.
Your choice of location also depends on what you want your trip to focus on: the hiking route has a defined start, destination and distance, while church activities and the library offer a cultural focus. Bus routes provide connections to other places; check their current timetables for your travel dates. The ski and snowboard trip was tied to the specified 2025/26 dates, which have already passed. Do not treat these course dates as a schedule for your own trip.
