Kalvarienberg - highest viewpoint in Haibach

The Kalvarienberg is the highest elevation in the municipality (562 m) with a chapel. From the Kalvarienberg you have a wonderful view at any time of year - from the Bohemian Forest to the Dachstein. Due to its location - not far from the village centre and close to the Donausteig trail - the Kalvarienberg is accessible on foot (also with prams/asphalt) all year round. From there you can also take a leisurely hike to the Stauf castle ruins.

The Calvary was consecrated as early as 1838, but the station chapels fell into disrepair towards the end of the 19th century. In 1938, the then parish priest Dr Waslmayr decided to renovate the Way of the Cross. He commissioned the Franciscan Father Herculan Baldauf to design the pictures and his confrere Father Philipp-Jakob Vergott to execute them. When Fr Philipp died unexpectedly, Fr Herkulan completed the paintings for the Stations of the Cross. But they were never put up again, probably due to the turmoil of the war and post-war period.

In 1973, Father Wundsam discovered the pictures and suggested that they be put up. In 1974, with many hours of voluntary labour, the Stations of the Cross were erected in a short space of time.

At the turn of the year 2013/2014, numerous helpers lent a helping hand and provided many hours of voluntary labour, material donations and financial support. The chapel now shines in new splendour once again.

From the newly designed rest area on the Calvary, you have a wonderful view from the Bohemian Forest to the Dachstein - at any time of year or day!

Originally, the parish church in Haibach was a branch church of the parish of Hartkirchen. However, it has been an independent parish since 1714. The late Gothic, baroque church was first mentioned in documents in 1121. The entire church building was renovated and modernised in 1975.

The organ built by organ builder Josef Breinbauer in 1840 is a particular gem (it was decorated with rich ornamentation in 1895). It was a gift from Countess Ernest von Harrach

The new "Tilli" inn is located directly in the centre of Haibach ob der Donau.
120 seats and a guest garden (with playground for the little ones) invite you to linger and enjoy the traditional and regional cuisine.

Especially for family, Christmas and birthday celebrations, christenings, meetings and conferences, the guest room can be partitioned off so that approx. 35 people can celebrate or discuss undisturbed.

Since we attach great importance to the origin of the food in our inn, as well as to the cooperation with local producers, we obtain a large part of our products directly from the region:

• Meat and sausage products from Hartkirchen and the surrounding area (Ozlberger family).
• Bread and pastries from Haibach (Scheuer Bakery family)
• Fruit and vegetables from Pupping (Berner family)
• Eggs and pasta from Haibach (Weißhäupl family)
