Discover Reut: Taubenbach and hiking trails

Around Reut, you can discover culture and outdoor activities at specific destinations: Taubenbach is home to a medieval ensemble, while hiking trails D and F offer different kinds of excursions. The wider Rottal-Inn destination adds further cultural, nature and recreation options to this local guide. When choosing a holiday apartment, it helps to decide first what you want to focus on during your stay.

Taubenbach: the ensemble and pilgrimage church

The medieval ensemble in Taubenbach comprises the church, the neighbouring small St. Alban’s Chapel and the rectory. Like the rest of the complex, the rectory dates from around 1500. The interplay of the three buildings makes the group a specific point of interest for anyone interested in sacred architecture and historic building ensembles. The pilgrimage church of St. Alban in Taubenbach has a 72-metre-high tower. This precise height gives the church a distinctive, easy-to-picture feature and adds a single architectural highlight to the view of the ensemble.

Hiking trails with different highlights

Reut Hiking Trail D runs north of Reut and offers repeated viewpoints; the trail is scenically attractive. Reut Hiking Trail F Taubenbach has a different possible destination in mind: the route allows for a detour to a castle ruin near Julbach. It lies approximately one kilometre from the route. This gives you two specific hiking options to choose from: the recurring viewpoints along Trail D or the optional detour to the castle ruin on Trail F. When planning your outings, you can consider which of these appeals to you more.

Experiences in the wider Rottal-Inn destination

In the wider Rottal-Inn destination, the Rottal Terme offers its own thermal spa and wellness experience. It has more than 30 pleasantly warm thermal water pools at temperatures of 26 to 40 °C, as well as 13 different saunas and steam baths. The facilities also include a 105-metre-long thermal stream, along with health and prevention services. Numbers and specific facilities may change during renovation work.

Culture lovers will also find a range of options in the wider Rottal-Inn area. Theater an der Rott is the only theatre in Germany owned by a district and stages premieres every year in drama, musicals, concerts, dance, operetta and opera. The productions change over time. The “Gothic Tours” introduce residents and tourists to selected Gothic monuments: brochures, maps, the tour portal and the Gothic portal provide ways to explore this subject. The Gothic portal also offers audio guides about Gothic buildings that can be accessed on site, as well as an online museum with information, learning and educational resources.

For hiking and cycling, the wider Rottal-Inn area has a well-developed, extensive network of trails spanning several hundred kilometres. It is intended for hikers and cyclists. The tour portal helps with individual route planning by providing elevation profiles, information about trail surfaces and GPX downloads. The Inn Cycle Path offers a special perspective on nature: it passes through the Lower Inn European Nature Reserve and gives visitors to the Rottal-Inn holiday region an insight into local flora and fauna.

The Rottal Farm Tour is an experience programme in the wider Rottal-Inn area focused on rural life, everyday work, animals and farming culture. Traditional crafts, handicraft techniques and regional specialities are also among its themes. Alongside nature and cultural attractions, the regional selection therefore offers insights into rural traditions and local cuisine.

Choose a holiday apartment to suit your interests
