Katzdorf

Katzdorf combines distinctive cultural sites with nature-based activities and family-friendly experiences. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment can tailor their stay entirely to their own interests: with a visit to the Buddhist meditation centre “Thai-Wat”, a flat hike, garden ideas or an arranged appointment with the alpacas by the Naab.

Culture between Thai-Wat and local history

An unusual attraction in Katzdorf is the Buddhist meditation centre “Thai-Wat”. At its centre is the 4.80-metre-high golden figure of “Som Dej Ong Pathom”. The figure was brought to Katzdorf from Thailand specifically for this purpose and gives the site a cultural distinction that clearly sets it apart from classic regional excursion destinations. The centre is located in a former school. Between May and October, the public was welcome at several festivals.

The local history also offers a point of interest in its own right. Katzdorf was first mentioned in 1129 under the name “Kastorf”. St Michael’s Church was consecrated in 1951. Anyone interested in different religious and historical traces can include both places in their personal travel plans without limiting their stay to just one type of experience.

Garden ideas and outdoor exercise

The Katzdorf model garden is aimed at visitors looking for inspiration for designing their own gardens. It features fruit-bearing and ornamental shrubs, herbs, flowers and grasses. There are also ideas for creating ponds. This creates an excursion destination where the focus is not on a single structure, but on the variety of design ideas.

For exercise, the Katzdorf hiking trail is a good option. It is described as a flat family hike and is also suitable for Nordic walkers and recreational cyclists. This allows you to plan the day in different ways: you can use the route for a relaxed hike or explore Katzdorf from a more active perspective. The specific choice of the day’s programme remains open and can be adapted to the age, fitness and interests of your travel group.

Experiences by appointment and fixed excursion destinations

A visit to “Alpakas an der Naab” is possible by arranging an appointment by telephone or email. Anyone wishing to include this experience in their plans should therefore arrange the appointment in advance. There is also a low ropes course at 17 Max-Planck-Straße. Both attractions complement the cultural sites and the hiking trail with further options for a varied stay.

Which holiday apartment suits your travel plans?

When looking for a holiday apartment in Katzdorf, it is worth deciding first what you would like to focus on. Culture enthusiasts can make Thai-Wat, Katzdorf’s historical mention and St Michael the centrepiece of their visit. For days outdoors, the model garden and the flat hiking trail are good options. Anyone planning a visit to the alpacas should take the necessary appointment arrangements into account; the low ropes course provides another specific stop for planning the day.

This makes Katzdorf more than just a place to spend the night: the location combines a religious figure originating from Thailand, local history, garden culture and various outdoor activities. Choose your accommodation according to the rhythm you want for your stay, and discover the different sides of the place at your own pace.
