Discover Triftern: bathing area, Alte Post and local history
Accommodation in Triftern
In Triftern, a bathing area with several options for exercise and relaxation, a historic building complex and a distinctive landscape feature in the surrounding area come together. This mix gives you several starting points for planning your trip: from spending time by the water to exploring local history or taking an excursion to the Kaser Steinstuben.
Water and exercise at the bathing area
The Triftern bathing area has a 25-metre swimming pool, a non-swimmer pool and a paddling pool. The three pools serve different purposes, offering various ways to spend time by the water. Opening arrangements are weather-dependent; check the current conditions before your visit.
There are also several sporting facilities beyond the pools: these include two tennis courts, a volleyball court, a football pitch and a skate park. An 18-hole mini-golf course and a children’s playground round out the facilities. If your travel group has a range of interests, these different activities may factor into your day’s plans. We recommend checking locally for the current availability of the sports facilities mentioned.
Local history across two periods
Triftern was granted market rights in 1388. A later landmark in the town’s history is the Alte Post, a building complex dating from the late 18th century. It was an extensive former inn with numerous guest rooms, a bowling alley and a large barn. Its former use explains the Alte Post’s role as an inn; the rooms and buildings mentioned are part of this historical description.
For trip planning, the market rights and the Alte Post are two distinct historical points of reference: one looks back to Triftern in the Middle Ages, while the other relates to a complex from the late 18th century and its function at the time. Anyone interested in how a town has developed can thus explore different historical periods rather than reducing its history to a single building or date.
The Kaser Steinstuben in the surrounding area
The Kaser Steinstuben are located south of Triftern, between Voglarn and Osten, in the surrounding area. The boulder stream extends for more than 100 metres and is up to 20 metres wide. These dimensions give a concrete sense of its scale. If you plan to visit the Kaser Steinstuben, check local conditions before setting out.
A regional perspective on Rottal-Inn
As a broader travel destination, Rottal-Inn offers a distinctive regional setting. The Rottal-Inn leisure region has a well-developed, extensive network of trails, with several hundred kilometres for hikers and cyclists. The tour portal supports personalised route planning with information on elevation profiles and trail surfaces, as well as GPX downloads. The Inn Cycle Path runs through the Lower Inn European Nature Reserve and offers insights into the flora and fauna of the Rottal-Inn leisure region.
Cultural attractions are also part of this broader picture: the Theater an der Rott stages premieres every year in drama, musical theatre, concerts, dance, operetta and opera; the individual productions change. The Gothic Tours take locals and visitors to selected Gothic monuments. The Gothic Portal complements this with audio guides to Gothic buildings that can be accessed on site, as well as an online museum offering information, knowledge and learning resources.
