activities in the Rottal-Inn region

Short summary of all activities in the Rottal-Inn area


The university experience is more than studying and attending classes, and we all know that.

Friendships and activities to do in the area are equally important, and Rottal-Inn, although it might not seem at first, offers our students tons of different things to do.

We have already discussed some of them here at ECRI News, such as a day trip to Bad Birnbach, and the lake near it, the Schönau Castle nearby, or even neighbour Passau, among many others.

What more is there to discover, you might ask yourself…well, let´s see

Museums [Bearbeiten]

Whether you are interested in nature, country life, history, art, and many other types of exhibitions; Rottal-Inn has the right museum for you. From Pfarrkirchen town hall museum to the open-air museum, be sure to visit them during your stay.

Bicycle tours [Bearbeiten]

We have already done some posts about this, but some more are never too many!
Pfarrkirchen and the whole area is well-known for its bicycle tours, and if those shared by us are not enough, be sure to check all the recommended bike tours here, and visit the tour portal here, where you will find all the bike tours around the district!

Highlights of nature [Bearbeiten]

Are you more of a nature-lover? We got you. Rottal-Inn is an ideal place if nature is your thing, and there are many places, such as the Kaser stone room near Triftern, or the “Bürgerwald” in Eggenfelden (we have made a post about it already, check it here). To know more about nature´s diamonds in Rottal-Inn, check the official webpage here.

Adventure Park Voglsam [Bearbeiten]

The adventure park in the Rottal-Inn district, which will reopen next Saturday, is a place of fun for both children and adults: with a go-kart track, hot air balloon flights, tree-climbing area, football-golf, and many others. Closed for a long time due to corona, it is going to reopen now, so don´t miss it!

Golf courses [Bearbeiten]

If you like golf, the good news is, you won´t need to stop it during your time in Pfarrkirchen! There are two golfing courses, the Rottaler Golf Club in Herbestenfelden (very close to Pfarrkirchen); and the Bella Vista, in Bad Birnbach. Both with their unique qualities, great places for our golf-lover colleagues!

Parachuting and Tandem jump [Bearbeiten]

For the more courageous and adventurous people out there, Rottal-Inn also has something to offer. Either for beginners or more experienced people, Exit Skydive offers different packages and lessons. If you are interested and would like to know more, contact them directly here.

Bowling, pool and other games [Bearbeiten]

Either for just a night out, or if you prefer to take it as a regular hobby, the bowling centre in Pfarrkirchen is great for this! Some of our students already visited this place during the last pub crawl, and if you haven´t visited it yet… what are you waiting for?
