Discover Hunderdorf: Organs, chapel and cycling path

Organs and chapel history

The organ in St. Nicholas Parish Church in Hunderdorf was built in 1982 by the Georg Jann company of Allkofen. The instrument has 18 sounding stops and two manuals. Stops represent different tone colors, while manuals are the keyboards played. Together, these details describe both the sound structure and the playing mechanism. The year of construction and the maker provide a historical and craft context; the stops and manuals draw attention to the instrument’s characteristics.

St. Edigna in Hofdorf is another cultural point of interest: a chapel dedicated to Blessed Edigna of Puch. The chapel and its historic Baroque organ opened to the public on September 8, 2024. If you are planning a visit, please check current access arrangements in advance. This lets you distinguish the dated historical occasion from whether a visit is possible during your travel dates.

Cycling as a focus in its own right

The Danube-Regen Cycle Path runs through the municipality of Hunderdorf. This makes a cycling route a distinct point of interest alongside the church-related cultural sites. When looking for a holiday apartment, it helps to first consider whether cycling or the organ and chapel sites should shape your focus on the area.

Other travel profiles in the wider Straubing-Bogen destination

At Bogenberg, the district museum brings together several aspects of regional history. It explores the history of the Bavarian lozenges: from the Counts of Windberg-Bogen, through their use by the Wittelsbach dynasty and in the Bavarian state coat of arms, to their role as a symbol of Bavaria. The museum also presents Bogenberg as Lower Bavaria’s Holy Mountain and as the site of one of Bavaria’s oldest Marian pilgrimages. The pilgrimage is still active today; the Holzkirchen Candle Pilgrimage takes place every year at Pentecost at Bogenberg Pilgrimage Church. In Windberg, the medieval monastery complex—with its basilica, prelature, magistrate’s house and craftsman’s house—has largely been preserved. Thus, in Straubing-Bogen, pilgrimage, museum subjects and monastic architecture offer distinct cultural interests.

The routes in the wider Straubing-Bogen destination also differ in their features. In Wiesenfelden, the accessible circular trail around Beckenweiher is 2.3 km long and suitable for strollers and wheelchairs. Five information points with benches and information boards cover the pond’s animal and plant life, its protected status and its history; there is also a 110 m-long nature observation boardwalk. The Kobelberg Nature Experience Trail is about 4.5 km long, has nine stations, is suitable for strollers and is cleared in winter too. This makes it possible to compare an accessible circular trail with information about the pond and a longer nature trail cleared in winter. Bogen also offers the Culture Tour, the Beer Garden Tour and the “Left and Right of the Danube” tour as day trips for families with children.
