Arnstorf: Walking Trails, Outdoor Pool and Castle History

Two circular trails with views across the hills and towards the Bavarian Forest

The Panorama Trail and the St. James’s Way are two well-signposted circular trails in Arnstorf. Both offer views across the Isar-Inn hills and towards the Bavarian Forest. Their detailed signage makes them clearly identified options for an excursion, while the views give both trails a scenic connection. If you mainly want to spend time outdoors on your trip, these trails are a local place to start.

Outdoor pool with sunbathing lawn and courses

Arnstorf’s outdoor pool offers something different: the complex has a spacious sunbathing lawn and mature deciduous trees that provide shade. Aquafit and swimming courses are available. The pool opens at the start of summer. If you want to plan a swimming day or course into your stay, check the current opening hours and course dates in advance. The lawn and shade also give the outdoor pool a different feel from an excursion on the circular trails.

Baroque building, Renaissance portal and castle concerts

The Lower Castle on Arnstorf’s market square is a two-storey Baroque building, constructed around 1680, with a gable and corner towers. The moated castle of Mariakirchen in Markt Arnstorf was built around 1550; its courtyard features a Renaissance portal bearing the Closen-Nothaft marriage coat of arms. The buildings offer distinct historical character: the Lower Castle’s Baroque form defines its appearance, while the Renaissance portal is a striking feature of Mariakirchen’s courtyard.

The Arnstorf Castle Concerts add performances of vocal and instrumental music to the architectural history. If you want to plan a concert into your stay, check the event dates in advance. Architecture and the cultural programme can therefore offer different reasons to plan a trip, without assuming that a specific concert is taking place.

Beer brewing and tasting at Schlossbräu

At Schlossbräu, visitors can experience beer production using traditional brewing methods and in accordance with the German Purity Law, and take part in a beer tasting. The beer seminar is reserved for groups of eight or more, and the date must be confirmed in advance. If you want to include this particular seminar in your plans, take the group size and date confirmation into account.

Choose the right focus for your trip

If travellers in your group have different preferences, it helps to compare ideas for the day: the circular trails combine exercise with views, the outdoor pool is tied to the start of summer, and the castles and concerts offer a cultural focus. Choose a holiday apartment based on the kind of trip you actually plan.

Rottal-Inn as a wider travel destination

The wider travel destination of Rottal-Inn also offers its own regional perspective. The Rottal-Inn leisure region has an extensive network of trails, with several hundred kilometres for hikers and cyclists. The tour portal supports individual route planning with elevation profiles, information on trail conditions and GPX downloads. For culture lovers, Theater an der Rott presents premieres every year in drama, musicals, concerts, dance, operetta and opera. These offerings describe Rottal-Inn as a wider setting; they should be distinguished from the trails, outdoor pool and buildings in Arnstorf.
