Selected alternatives for you
    The Materlweg can be explored in 5 - 6 hours via Pangart (former GH Handler), Kohlreuth, Sonnberg, Prägart, Winterhof, Grub, Wieden and Hofstatt in the immediate vicinity of Edlitz in der Bucklige Welt. This hike is an "insider tip" for wonderful and varied views. In the village, the fortified church documentation provides information about an important historical aspect of the region in a creative way.

    Nineteen wayside shrines can be found in this area. If you want to visit them all, you will have to walk a long way. The reward is numerous views of the 1000 hills of the Bucklige Welt and the neighboring Alps. The route can also be shortened at various points.

    In the village of Edlitz, you can stop for a bite to eat at the Taverne Grüner Baum inn, which serves traditional tavern fare or Greek cuisine, and the fortified church documentation provides an interesting insight into the history of the region.

    Author’s recommendation

    Edlitz offers two real insider tips for overnight guests:

    • Farm holiday at Wachahof
    • Das Paradieschen - holiday cottage for two

    Dining:

    • Gasthaus Taverne Grüner Baum

    The region is strongly shaped by the defensive churches and their history. The topic is well prepared in the Wehrkirchendokumentation in Edlitz, which is also interesting tactically/sensorially for visually impaired persons. The modern exhibition is accessible after collecting the key from the municipal office or at Gasthaus Taverne Grüner Baum.

    The defensive church in Edlitz can also be visited by appointment at the municipal office and is considered one of the most beautiful and interesting examples.
