This theme route makes it clear how important the honeybee and insects are for the balance in nature as well as for the yield in agriculture.

The circular route starts at the market square in St. Martin i. M. Near the school campus stands the Bee Info House, built in the shape of a honeycomb. Several short films show excerpts from the life of honeybees, wild bees, and insects. In the glass beehive, the honey gatherers can be safely observed. After the village of Kobling, the show bee hut stands at the edge of the forest. Now you walk along the creek through the forest (great waterwheel). After crossing, the ascent follows on forest and meadow paths. At the Premserhügel resting place, resting benches—again built in honeycomb shape—await you. From here, a magnificent view opens from the Bohemian Forest to the Alps. The names of well-known mountain peaks are described on the panorama board. The mascot’s name is Carni. It tells amazing facts about bees. It excitingly explains what the bee’s body looks like, how they live, what the inside of the hive looks like, and what they do in winter. Carni explains the dance of the bees and why bees sometimes sting, and gives tips on what to do after a sting.

Eduard Haas, who invented the baking powder, lived in St. Martin in the 19th century. He was known as a 'Bader'; that is someone who is a doctor and an obstetrician. He was also the owner of a model farm and he helped to develop the agriculture and economy of St. Martin.
A fountain and the house of Haas in Badergasse 1 are the witnesses of this famous inhabitant of St. Martin.

The parish was first mentioned in 1242 and has been administered by the Augustinian Canons of St. Florian since 1580.
The church was originally built around 1150 in the Romanesque style. After it was destroyed, it was rebuilt around 1320 as a High Gothic church and expanded around 1400 into a two-nave hall church. Baroque renovations followed in the 18th century. In 1978–79, the interior of the church was redesigned and the altar was moved to the center of the nave.
In 2013, the altar area underwent further redesign. The new altar was crafted from a single block of granite by the artist Gabriela Berger and symbolizes St. Martin’s act of sharing.
Among the oldest treasures are six late-medieval stained-glass windows dating from between 1380 and 1410, featuring depictions of saints and donors, as well as the baptismal font, created around 1460 from local Plöckingen granite.
This cozy café is very popular with the locals; we are famous for our excellent tee and coffee as well as for the delicious cakes and ice-cream.
