Reisbach: Folk Festival, Church Art and Nature Trails
Accommodation in Reisbach
Reisbach combines a long-standing folk festival with a historic town centre, leisure activities and public trails through fields and forests. This gives visitors various reasons to stay: you can attend the festival, discover church art or plan walks in nature. An 18-hole championship golf course is also among the options that may influence your choice of destination.
Folk Festival and Leisure Activities
The Reisbach Folk Festival has been held every year for many decades, starting on the second Sunday in July and lasting five days. It begins on Friday with a band concert in the market square. A traditional, colourful parade then makes its way to the festival grounds on Franz-Josef-Strauß-Straße. Saturday’s programme includes the Vilstal Half Marathon and the Reisbach Folk Festival Run, organised by the Reisbach running group. If you would like to attend these events, you can plan your trip around the festival dates and the programme for each day.
Bayern-Park, one of Bavaria’s largest amusement parks, is located in the municipality of Reisbach, in the Dingolfing-Landau district. For families considering an amusement park as part of their trip, this is another reason to include Reisbach among the options. Another attraction is the 18-hole championship golf course. When choosing where to stay, you can consider whether the folk festival, a visit to the amusement park or golf is the main focus of your trip, without combining these interests into a single excursion programme.
Churches and the Market Square
Reisbach also has specific discoveries to offer visitors interested in cultural history. St Michael’s Parish Church is a basilica with a Romanesque western tower complex. The lower section of the tower probably dates from the 12th or 13th century. The choir contains a rare cycle of 16 panel paintings from 1520 in the Danube School style. The church thus combines an older tower complex with a precisely dated cycle of paintings; these distinctive features make it a notable place to visit for anyone interested in architecture and art.
Two churches stand on the south and north sides of the market square: the Gothic parish church and the Church of the Saviour, which is also Gothic at its core. The Church of the Saviour’s south façade, stuccoed in 1739, forms a delicate counterpoint to the fortress-like appearance of the parish church, which stands on higher ground. The Reisbach Market Square ensemble includes the square and its surrounding buildings. Visitors focusing on local history and architecture will find several distinct details here that reveal the character of the town centre.
Trails Through the Landscape and Getting There
The municipality of Reisbach has an extensive network of public field and forest trails with little traffic. Here, you can enjoy nature away from paved roads, go for walks and linger. These trails appeal to visitors who want to spend time outdoors as well as attend events and explore local history. They offer a different focus from the folk festival or golf course; when choosing your holiday apartment, you can therefore consider which reason will shape your trip most.
If travelling by car, Reisbach is connected to the regional road network via the Dingolfing-Ost exit on the A92 motorway.
