Eichendorf: Weekly Market and Outdoor Pool
Accommodation in Eichendorf
A Saturday at the market square and time at the outdoor pool offer different ways to spend your time in Eichendorf. The weekly market gives the morning a set appointment; the outdoor pool offers heated pools, a wide-wave slide and other facilities. These kinds of daily plans can also help you choose your holiday apartment: Would you like to plan a visit to the weekly market, spend time in the water or go on a bike ride with the possibility of a swimming break? Cultural and nature destinations in the wider Dingolfing-Landau travel region offer additional ideas for planning your trip.
Saturday Weekly Market
The Eichendorf weekly market takes place every Saturday from 7 a.m. to 12 noon at the market square. Its morning hours make it easy to plan as a separate activity, apart from a later visit to the outdoor pool or a bike ride. Check locally for the date before you arrive.
Outdoor Pool and Cycling Break
All the pools at Eichendorf outdoor pool are heated. A wide-wave slide is 25 metres long and 3 metres wide; its entry height is 4.26 metres. The outdoor pool also has a children's playground, a football pitch and a beach volleyball court. You can choose how to spend your day between swimming and the slide or games and ball sports. Opening hours vary depending on the season and weather; check them before planning a visit.
Cycling offers another way to enjoy the water. Further along the Vilstal Cucumber Cycle Route, in the wider area around the destination, cyclists can cool off in a bathing pond near Wisselsdorf. The outdoor pool and bathing pond suit different day plans: the facilities at Eichendorf outdoor pool on the one hand, and a possible swimming break during a bike ride on the other.
Culture in the Wider Dingolfing-Landau Travel Region
At Kastenhof Landau, original archaeological finds from the region tell the story of the first farmers. Touch-friendly replicas, striking images and the lifelike figure Lisar, a Neolithic woman, bring the past to life.
Housed in the 250-year-old Weißgerberhaus, the Landau Local History Museum showcases rural domestic culture, faith and piety, the history of Landau, bourgeois living and self-representation, and urban crafts. Its main focus is the 19th century. The pilgrimage church of Maria im Steinfels offers a different glimpse into history: it was consecrated in 1726, and its altar stands in front of a Nagelfluh rock face.
In the Upper Town, the Dingolfing Museum occupies three historic buildings: Herzogsburg, Pfleghof and Getreidekasten. It traces the history of Dingolfing and its industries from the Neolithic period to the present day. Herzogsburg was built around 1410 as the official residence of the Kastner (an administrative official) and as quarters for the Bavarian dukes. Cultural themes therefore range from archaeological finds and everyday history to historic buildings and urban development.
Nature, Activities and Relaxation
The Vilstal Nature Reserve near Marklkofen covers almost 175 hectares and provides a habitat for numerous animal and plant species. It contains the Vilstalsee, which covers around 100 hectares and is ideal for walks and cycling tours. The lake also offers opportunities for boating, sailing and surfing. This allows you to compare activities on land and on the lake without treating them as a single type of outing.
Another leisure option in the wider Dingolfing-Landau travel region is the sauna and wellness area at Caprima leisure pool. It has recently been renovated and certified as a “Premium Facility” by the German Sauna Association (Deutscher Sauna-Bund e.V.).
