June 16, 2026, August Ganghofer Hütte

August Ganghofer (1827–1900) was a significant German forestry official and the father of the writer Ludwig Ganghofer. From 1879, he managed the Royal Bavarian Forestry Administration and initiated the founding of the Bavarian State Institute for Forestry and Forest Management (LWF) in Freising in 1881. Career: From 1859 to 1873, he managed the forestry district in Welden, where he had the August Ganghofer Avenue, named after him today, planted. He was elevated to the personal nobility in 1887. Works: His standard work "Der praktische Holzrechner" (The Practical Wood Calculator) was published in 1872 and went through seven editions. Memorial Site: In Welden stands the August-Ganghofer-Hütte, the former forester's official hut, which is now part of the Ludwig-Ganghofer-Rundwanderweg (Ludwig Ganghofer Circular Hiking Trail).

The quaint building is the old service cabin of August Ganghofer, the father of the writer Ludwig Ganghofer. It represents the family's forestry background and the forest that strongly influenced Ludwig's childhood. August Ganghofer was not only the district forester in Welden, but later pursued a career as a forestry expert.

Cozy beer garden with bike parking. Great salads, good beer 🍺, coffee, and delicious cakes – and everyone is very friendly. That's how it should be. Highly recommended.

A small Christmas market takes place every year at the Kultur Stadl in Wörleschwang. The market only has one stand each for mulled wine, sausages and a stand for crêpes - small but very family-friendly. To warm up, you can go to the Event Stadl or the Stadl Café/Bistro. The Event Stadl offers a lot throughout the year, from brass music to pop or classical music to theater, drag or cabaret. The Kultur Stadl can accommodate up to 100 people.
