After Woodstock of brass band music is before Woodstock of brass band music. Tickets are on sale now. Will you be there again? Yes? Have you ever thought about making a detour to the Quellenviertel before, during or after the festival? There really is a lot to experience away from the festival site. Have a look, we have a few recommendations for you on how to make your trip to the Woodstock der Blasmusik even more exciting.
If you're ever in the Quellenviertel region, you shouldn't just look after your own beer. Only around 13.6 kilometres from the Woodstock festival site, you can immerse yourself in the variety of flavours of the Innviertel beer region. The Rieder Bierbummel- a whimsical stroll from brewery to restaurant, leads from the Biergasthof Riedberg, with its unique beer cellar, via the Ried brewery to the historic town centre with the former wheat beer brewery in the Braugasthof Träger and on to the Gasthaus Weberbräu.
Under no circumstances should you leave the Innviertel region without tasting the genuine Innviertler Surspeckknödel dumplings. Just a dumpling's turn away from the festival site, about 22 kilometres away, you will land in the dumpling paradise of Genussbauernhof-Knödelkuchl Jenichl in Altheim. Take your time, because you should have tried a real Innviertler Surspeckknödel once. At least once. And because it's much more fun in a group, the Knödlkuchl at Genussbauernhof Jenichl offers the opportunity to do just that.
If you want to take a few hours out of the hustle and bustle of the festival or gently let the Woodstock energy fade away, you will find peace and variety at the Spa Resort Geinberg. Just 16.6 kilometres away, you will land in the Caribbean of the Quellenviertel. White sandy beach, exotic cocktails and saltwater lagoon included. Cosy warm water fun in five pools and three water worlds. Relax in 11 themed saunas and steam baths. Ideal for unwinding and making plans for the next Woodstock of brass band music.
42 kilometres away from the sound of brass music, the engines of the high-speed world of the KTM Motohall in Mattighofencan be heard. Whether before, during or after the Woodstock weekend, you should definitely plan a detour to this popular excursion destination. You will experience innovation and technology, the history of Europe's largest motorbike manufacturer, as well as the motorbikes and adventures of our motorsport heroes up close.
Are your legs a little tired from standing, making music and dancing for so long? Then take a leisurely stroll along the Kopfing treetop walk. The panoramic Innviertel forest experience at lofty heights is 30 kilometres from the Woodstock site. Stairs and towers, suspension bridges and walkways, all made of wood, carry you up to heights of more than 20 metres. And if you want to add a few more nights to the Woodstock of brass music, we recommend staying overnight in the unique tree hotels.
One thing is for sure, the Woodstock of brass music is going to be hot. If you get too hot in between, why not find a refreshing spot at the Wildenau bathing lake in Aspach? Just under 20 kilometres from the Woodstock Arco Area, the lake offers refreshment and a variety of leisure activities in an idyllic landscape. Two bathing lake buffets cater for your physical well-being. So, pack your swimsuit and take a dip.
Don't worry, nobody will crash here. The birds of prey at the Falknerei-Adlerwarte Obernberg are true masters in the air. Their swoops are spectacular and demonstrate the enormous speed and hunting skills of these aerial acrobats. Falconry is a World Heritage Site and should be on your Woodstock bucket list. It is only 10 kilometres from the festival site to Obernberg am Inn.
So much atmosphere. So many impressions. So many new friends. So much Woodstock spirit. So much anticipation for next year. Returning abruptly to everyday life is not for you? Then extend your festival feeling at the IKUNA Naturresort in Natternbach. 33 kilometres away, you can continue dreaming in the middle of nature in the tipi suites. The stars are close enough to touch in the romantic starry sky chalets.
You know the shooting stars of the brass band scene. But do you also know the shooting star of the gastronomy scene? Lukas Kienbauer? From zero to two toques in just one season. He was Gault Millau's Newcomer of the Year 2018. The Lukas Genusszentrum is located in the enchanting baroque town of Schärding am Inn, just 19 kilometres from Ort im Innkreis. Ideal for a culinary Woodstock finale.
