Doktor-Fautus-RoutePhoto: Gemeinde Polling, Tourismusverband Pfaffenwinkel
Selected alternatives for you
The Doctor Faustus Route was established based on the location descriptions in the novel, which are clearly verified for Polling by Thomas and Viktor Mann. The scenic circular route touches all the places Thomas Mann mentions in connection with the birthplace and residence of his titular character Adrian Leverkühn. You walk in the footsteps of a significant work of world literature – in the interplay between reality and fictional character. With 13 text panels, the thematic trail offers entertaining relaxation in an intact cultural landscape.

None other than Nobel Prize winner Thomas Mann was inspired by the pre-alpine backdrop in Polling to literary process Dr. Faust. Like Goethe before him, Thomas Mann took up the medieval figure and created the fictional musician Adrian Leverkühn, who made a pact with the devil for musical genius. The route not only tells the story of the protagonist but also that of the author Mann.

Be sure to visit the artists' column hall STOA169 at the Ammer – well worth seeing!

Roadbook
The route begins at the first panel at the church square and leads north between the monastery and park to the manor house. There we open the garden gate and go to panel two, which is located at the house entrance with the abbot's sign. From there the route leads back along the same way to the church square. We cross the bridge and follow the brook north towards the third and fourth panels. From here we follow Tassilostraße west and cross the railway line. On a gravel path and forest trails we reach Ammerberg, Streicherweiher and the community bench on Schafbichl, from where we hike southeast to the asphalt path. Over the main road and the Tiefenbach bridge we finally come back to the starting point through the gate arch.
