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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
