Rimbach: Discover hiking trails and culture

Rimbach combines a hiking trail with cultural attractions in the municipality. The trail leads through the area around Rimbach, while the Lanz Museum and St. Ulrich’s Church each add their own distinctive touch. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can consider whether local hiking and cultural attractions should shape your stay, or whether you would also like to explore other options in the wider Rottal-Inn region.

Hiking with stops in the municipality

The Rimbach Hiking Trail starts at an inn in Rimbach, leads through the area around Rimbach and returns to its starting point. Along the way, it also passes through Sallach, past St. Ulrich’s Church and via Aichet to Döding. These stops give the hike a specific route through several places, rather than keeping the focus solely on the starting point. If you enjoy walking, the trail gives you a reason to consider Rimbach and the surrounding stops as part of your travel plans.

The museum and church as cultural destinations

The Lanz Museum is in Rimbach-Mitterrohrbach and can be visited by prior telephone arrangement. Be sure to call ahead to arrange your visit. St. Ulrich’s Church stands in Sallach and is believed to have once been a castle church. For travellers interested in regional architectural history, the church adds a historic landmark to the hiking trail; a visit to the museum offers another cultural highlight in Rimbach. This lets you weigh up walking and culture as different interests for your stay, without needing to combine them into a set itinerary.

Rottal-Inn as a wider area to explore

Beyond Rimbach, the wider destination of Rottal-Inn offers other attractions. Rottal Terme has more than 30 thermal-water pools at temperatures of 26 to 40 °C, as well as 13 different saunas and steam baths. These numbers may change as renovations are carried out. The facilities also include a 105-metre-long thermal stream, along with health, prevention and wellness services. Rottal-Inn therefore also offers a focus on thermal waters and relaxation.

Every year, the Theatre an der Rott stages premieres in drama, musicals, concerts, dance, operetta and opera. It is the only theatre in Germany owned by a district; the individual productions change. Gothic buildings also add a regional cultural highlight: the “Gothic Tours” introduce locals and tourists to selected monuments. Brochures, maps, the tour portal and the Gothic Portal offer guidance. The Gothic Portal also provides on-site audio guides about Gothic buildings and an online museum with information, learning resources and educational content.

The wider region also offers various ways to enjoy nature and keep active. The Inn Cycle Path runs through the Lower Inn European Nature Reserve and offers a wealth of insights into flora and fauna in the Rottal-Inn leisure region. A well-developed, extensive network of trails spanning several hundred kilometres is designed for hikers and cyclists. The tour portal helps with individual route planning, providing details on elevation profiles and trail conditions, as well as GPX downloads. The Rottaler Hoftour, in turn, focuses on rural life, everyday work, wildlife and farming culture. Traditional crafts, handicraft techniques and the regional “Schmankerl” cuisine are also part of this programme of experiences.

Choose the right focus for your stay

If the Rimbach Hiking Trail, the Lanz Museum and the church are your main interests, you can focus your search for a holiday apartment on Rimbach. If you are also interested in thermal attractions, theatre, Gothic monuments, cycling and hiking trails or rural culture, include the wider Rottal-Inn region in your plans. This lets you choose your holiday destination based on the things you actually want to experience, without treating different attractions and places as if they were the same.
