Golling an der Salzach Parish Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The parish church of Golling an der Salzach, dedicated to Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist, was first documented in 1384. Originally built as a simple hall building, it was given its present form with two side aisles in 1689 under the influence of the court architect Giovanni Gaspare Zuccalli, and the church tower was raised. A fire destroyed the roof as early as 1693, while the interior of the church remained largely untouched. The Baroque tower crown was damaged by lightning in 1888 and replaced by the pointed spire visible today.

In 1856, the church was elevated to an independent parish church. A comprehensive restoration took place between 1959 and 1960. Further renovations followed, including the replacement of the tower cross in 2003 and the installation of new pews, a heating system, and a fourth bell in 2004.

Architecturally, the church is a hybrid of different styles: the central nave and choir are late Gothic, the side aisles are Baroque, and the tower combines Gothic structure with a Baroque bell chamber. Of particular note is the high altar from 1707, with an altarpiece from 1859. The church also boasts a historic organ that has been restored several times, most recently in 2008. Today, the parish church is an important spiritual and cultural center for the Golling community.

Town of Golling and castle

Highlight • Castle

The town of Golling is ideal for exploring by bike, combining historical sights with picturesque nature. Particularly impressive is Golling Castle, perched on a rock above the town. Originally built in the 13th century, it served as a strategic fortification to control the Salzach Valley. Today, visitors can explore the well-preserved walls, towers, and courtyards and enjoy sweeping views of the town and the surrounding mountains from the castle terrace. For cyclists, the town offers not only an interesting break but also the opportunity to combine history and nature on one tour.

View of the Tennengebirge

Highlight • Viewpoint

This particularly beautiful section of the route runs along the Salzach River near Kuchl and offers a striking backdrop: As the route runs close to the river through green meadows and floodplain forests, unobstructed views of the majestic Tennengebirge Mountains repeatedly open up. The rugged cliffs and striking peaks form an impressive backdrop to an overall harmonious, natural bike tour.

The combination of quiet paths, impressive mountain scenery, and gentle river flow makes this section a true highlight of the region – ideal for anyone who wants to enjoy nature and panoramas in equal measure.
