Discover Kirchanschöring

Waginger See and trails in town

When temperatures are suitable, you can go ice skating on Waginger See against a backdrop of the Alps. Together with the opportunities for water sports, the lake offers a variety of reasons to include it in your travel plans. Ice skating is, of course, dependent on suitable temperatures.

The Luise Rinser Trail begins at the town hall square in Kirchanschöring and is about 11.2 kilometres long. Its named starting point and approximate length give you two concrete reference points when planning your walk. A detailed cycling and hiking map is available from the Kirchanschöring Tourist Information Office. Ask there about current availability if you would like to use the map for your planning.

Rural culture in the surrounding area

At the Rupertiwinkel Farm Museum in Hof, farming equipment and traditional crafts are demonstrated. You can also visit the tithe barn and a collection of vintage tractors. A grain store, a flax-breaking bath, a baking oven, and agricultural and craft tools are also on display. The centrepiece of the museum is a historic steam engine. Before visiting, it is advisable to check the seasonal opening hours and group arrangements.

Another cultural destination nearby is Tittmoning Castle, which is open to visitors. Alongside the demonstrations and collections at the farm museum, a visit to the castle is another possible reason for a trip.
