Discover Eggerding: Culture, Panoramic Views and Active Experiences

Eggerding combines the distinctive landscape of a valley basin with historical insights, cultural events and various opportunities for active days on holiday. The surrounding hills offer expansive views across the Innviertel and the adjacent part of southern Bavaria. This gives you different starting points for planning your trip: you can experience culture, explore the landscape or focus on sporting interests.

Parish Church and Historical Traces

A prominent cultural landmark is the present-day Eggerding parish church. It was built in the 15th century. The nave and chancel together are around 22 metres long and approximately 10 metres wide. Inside, the church has a net vault; transverse ribs hold its southern walls together. For visitors interested in historic buildings and sacred architecture, the parish church offers a tangible insight into the history of the town.

Hackledt Castle is also part of the municipality’s history. The castle was once a noble estate near Eggerding. Around 1390, the Hacköder family was first mentioned as lords of the castle. Hackledt, in the municipality of Eggerding, has also been voted the most beautiful locality in the Schärding district three times. Exhibitions by various artists are organised at Hackledt Castle. This makes it possible to combine the historical connection with changing cultural impressions, without limiting the trip to a single area of interest.

Music and Shared Experiences

The Showtime concerts by the Eggerding music association offer an entertaining programme every year. The programme features a mixture of film or orchestral music, connected by a humorous thread. This can be a varied addition for families and travel groups to a day that would otherwise focus on the landscape or sport. When planning your trip, you should take the respective event date into account separately.

Active Days Between Sport and Summer

Eggerding also appeals to travellers who want to compare different activities. UTC Eggerding manages two tennis courts. The facility of the Schärding model aircraft club in Eggerding is the venue for numerous national and international competitions. In addition, one third of the Schärding/Taufkirchen Golf Club is located in the municipality of Eggerding. These different focuses range from playing sports yourself to watching organised competitions and demonstrate the variety of leisure activities available in the town.

Anyone who wants to explore the landscape on foot can include the “Innviertler Panorama Hike” in their plans. It starts at the Eggerding sports centre. For the warm season, the swimming pond at Hingsamer’s “Stumer” is also intended for use; swimming there is planned during the summer months. This allows you to alternate between culture, exercise and a summer stay by the water when choosing your holiday activities, without confusing the character of the individual offerings.

The Right Accommodation for Your Trip Planning

When looking for a holiday apartment in Eggerding, it is worth clearly defining your own priorities. If you are mainly interested in the church, the history of the castle and exhibitions, the cultural side of the town will be the focus. For a trip involving different interests, the concerts, sports facilities, panoramic hike or swimming pond can also be important search criteria for planning your days.
