Activity and play at the Fun Park

Breitnau Fun Park has a mountain bike course, a beach volleyball court and a football pitch. There are also play facilities with a zip line and a marble run. The park therefore offers both sports activities and opportunities for play. If being active is important to your stay, you can take these options into account; visitors travelling with children will find the aforementioned play facilities as well as the sports pitches. Each feature offers something different, without requiring you to focus on just one kind of activity.

Explore Breitnau with the village rally

The Breitnau village rally is a digital exploration tour through the town with 21 stations. It starts at the town hall, is 5.3 kilometres long and is described as an easy route. Learning interesting facts about Breitnau is part of the experience, along with exploring the stations. The rally is aimed at families with children aged six and over. This clearly sets it apart from the activities at the Fun Park: rather than focusing on a single sports pitch or play facility, it takes you on a tour through the town, combining information with exploring on foot. Its length, starting point and number of stations give you specific details to consider if you would like to include the rally in your stay.

Baroque history and fine arts

The Türkenlouispfad is a themed trail offering insights into the history and everyday life of the Baroque period. Those interested in history will find a different way to discover Breitnau here than on the village rally: the rally shares interesting facts about the town at 21 stations, while the Türkenlouispfad focuses on the Baroque period. Each offers its own thematic focus. The fine arts festival adds a recurring event to this selection. It takes place every year in late September or early October. If you are considering travelling during this period, you can include the festival in your plans for Breitnau.
