Eggern – Discover Trails, Forest and Water

Eggern combines peaceful experiences in nature with special trail destinations and cultural discoveries. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home can see the village as a starting point for a variety of holiday activities: walks along the Romau, trails through the forest, a visit to the Eggern landscape pond and insights into cultural history can all be arranged according to personal interests.

Walking Trails with Distinctive Destinations

Several trails lead to prominent points in the landscape, making them ideal for active days. The Bocksbühelweg leads along a footpath to the “Hohenstein” rock formation. The Reinbergweg offers several noteworthy stops: it passes the Trinity Chapel and a 300-year-old oak tree. This makes the trail not only a way to get around on foot, but also a series of specific discoveries.

The Maly Stones lie in the middle of the forest on hiking trail no. 33, the Pengersweg. There is also an original lime kiln at the Maly Stones. Anyone who finds historical traces interesting when walking through the forest can include these two special features in their plans. Eggern can also be explored on foot along the Romau. The course of the Romau was extensively revitalized as part of a sustainable project.

Landscape Pond for Walking and Fishing

The Eggern landscape pond is suitable for families with small children because of its particularly clear and manageable setting. There are several walking and hiking trails in the vicinity of the landscape pond, allowing a stay by the water to be combined with another walk. Pike, carp or tench can be fished 1 km from the Eggern landscape pond.

This gives the pond several different options for planning the day: families with small children can take its manageable setting into account, while anglers and walkers can focus on other aspects. When looking for accommodation in Eggern, this distinction helps you arrange your holiday days in advance according to relaxation, activity, observing nature or spending time by the water.

Culture in Eggern

The villagescape and cultural history are also part of Eggern’s character. The parish church of St. Aegidius in Eggern was built in 1792 in place of an old chapel. The parish church of St. Aegyd in Eggern is a Josephine-style hall church. Anyone interested in church architecture and regional history will find an independent sightseeing destination here, distinct from the natural experiences offered by the trails and the landscape pond.

Another cultural address is the REINBERG Gallery. In Eggern, it presents good and meaningful art. This means you can shape a day in Eggern differently depending on the weather and your interests: outdoors by the Romau or on a trail, at the landscape pond or with a cultural focus.

Eggern as a Suitable Holiday Idea

When choosing a holiday apartment in Eggern, you can incorporate your preferred holiday focus into your daily planning. Nature and walks create a different emphasis from an interest in art or historic buildings.
