A day trip to Waldkirchen is particularly worthwhile

You can reach the beautiful town of Waldkirchen, situated between the three-river city of Passau and the Bavarian Forest National Park, from the Hotel Bergknappenhof in about an hour and ten minutes by car. It's definitely worth the approximately 80 km drive, as Waldkirchen has something to offer everyone. Culturally, you can visit the House of Nature, Culture, Art and Youth, the Golden Trail Museum, or the Karoli Chapel.

If you'd like to be more active, you can go hiking, mountain biking on beautiful trails, or Nordic walking. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy the public 9-hole golf course in Dorn or the 18-hole Poppenreut golf course at the golf club. Waldkirchen offers a high ropes course with six different routes, each with varying levels of difficulty and heights. You can also enjoy ice skating in Waldkirchen (the ice rink is open from October to February), as well as curling and skiing.

But that's not all; snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and winter hiking are also on offer. The team at the Wellness Hotel Bergknappenhof will be happy to provide you with further information. Water sports enthusiasts will also find plenty to enjoy, with options including an outdoor pool, an indoor pool, a sauna complex, and a Mediterranean-themed spa. The Karoli Water Park will enchant you, giving you the feeling of being on the Mediterranean, with its saltwater and massage jets at a temperature of approximately 34°C. A special treat for children is the miniature railway or the Enchanted Forest at Karoli. This is a mystical adventure playground where you'll encounter wild forest spirits and creatures made of wood or stone. And that's not all: Waldkirchen boasts a treetop walkway, the "House on the River" (a historic building), horse-drawn carriage and sleigh rides, and a summer toboggan run. You can also visit the Finsterau Open-Air Museum, hike in the Bavarian Forest National Park, or explore the Dreisessel mountain at the tripoint of three countries. A variety of shopping opportunities are also available, the most famous of which is probably the Garhammer fashion house. Relax after an eventful day at your wellness hotel Bergknappenhof.
