Mitterteich: Brewing Tradition, Activity and Swimming
Accommodation in Mitterteich
Mitterteich combines brewing tradition with activity and swimming: the communal brewery has a special brewing right, the Fit & Fun Park offers everything from a pump track to a connection to the cycle path, and the outdoor swimming pool has heated pools for swimming, diving and slides. This blend of local history, sporting activities and picnic service is worth considering when planning your stay. You can choose what to focus on based on whether you’re looking for local brewing culture, active pursuits or time in the water.
Brewing Culture with a History of Its Own
At the communal brewery in Mitterteich, every resident has the right to brew beer. This brewing right is a distinctive feature of the local tradition. The new brewery was built in 1864 in what is now the Vorstadt district, formerly known as Gänsewiese. The residents’ right to brew and the building’s history thus illustrate two different aspects of brewing: the opportunity to brew and the brewery’s historic location.
Fit & Fun Park and Cycle Path Connection
The Fit & Fun Park has a BMX pump track, a children’s playground with play equipment, a table tennis table, a streetball court, a skating area and a grass pitch. The options range from BMX and skating to ball games, table tennis and the playground. This makes it possible to choose different activity focuses for your stay without treating them as a single offering.
The Fit & Fun Park connects to the cross-border Wallenstein Cycle Route along the former railway line. The park’s open space and this connection were created when the disused Wiesau–Waldsassen railway line was dismantled and Federal Highway 15 was rerouted. Leisure opportunities therefore include both the facilities in the park and the link to the cycle route.
Heated Pools at the Outdoor Swimming Pool
Mitterteich Outdoor Swimming Pool is a leisure facility with heated swimming pools. The swimming pool has 50-metre lanes; there is also a diving pool with 1-, 3- and 5-metre platforms and a non-swimmers’ pool with a 41-metre water slide. Lane swimming, diving and slides each offer a distinct focus. Check the pool’s seasonal operating information when making specific plans.
Picnic Service in Mitterteich
For a break, there is the Mitterteich Picnic Service: for groups of two or more, Mitterteich Bakery delivers a picnic basket to one of two scenic spots. The service is arranged through the town’s Tourist Information office. You can add a picnic break to your stay by arranging it with the Tourist Information office.
Tirschenreuth: Fishing and History
In Tirschenreuth, the MuseumsQuartier brings together the Upper Palatinate Fishing Museum and six other specialist exhibitions in a former monastery. Visitors can explore nearly 1,000 years of fishing and fish-farming history and see native fish in four large aquariums. The museum regularly hosts special exhibitions, talks, readings and concerts. If a specific date is important for your trip, check the latest event listings.
The Fischhofpark in Tirschenreuth also offers a historical highlight: the historic Fischhof Bridge and the Fischhof, which houses the district court, are at the centre of the park. The MuseumsQuartier and Fischhofpark thus offer different insights into fishing, exhibitions and architectural history in Tirschenreuth.
