The "weiß-blaue" path

Why search every low and high, when good things could not be closer by

The white and blue information pillars in Tittling and Witzmannsberg point out striking points in the communities.
Did you already know, for example, that there are dinosaurs in the Bavarian Forest or have you ever heard of Tittlinger and Witzmannsberger Gold and do you know the song from Blümersberg?

This information is not only of interest to holiday guests, but also to the local population. In addition to local history school knowledge that has long been forgotten, there is also a lot of new information, all of which should not be forgotten, but simply belong to the "local history general knowledge" for us and the coming generations.

The gold trail

(Nr.15 in the Dreiburgenland hiking map)

Circular hiking trail, approx. 12 km, 3 hours

In order not to let the historical gold deposits in parts of the municipality of Witzmannsberg and the Tittling market be forgotten, the gold trail was designated in 2000. Starting from the Schrottenbaummühle, the path leads to the so-called Seifenhügeln (soap hills) in the Eppendorfer Forest.

Up until the Thirty Years' War, the sandy material was "washed" in small streams on these hills. The heavy gold grains remained in the washing facilities. The excess sand created the soap mounds.
The hike then continues via Muth to the Schneidermühle on the Ilz. On the Ilz hiking trail downriver, after approx. 5 km you reach the starting point at the Schrottenbaummühle.
