Tiefenbach

Trails along the Ilz and Danube, four Chapel Hiking and Cycling Circuits and a local history museum in the Old Schoolhouse give Tiefenbach many different facets. You can focus your stay more on hiking or make local cultural history the main focus. For a family trip, it can also be worth deciding together whether a circuit, chapels as destinations along the way or historical discoveries are of particular interest.

Hiking trails along the Ilz and Danube

The municipality is crossed by the Goldsteig hiking trail along the Ilz and a trail through the Gaißatal valley to the Danube. This gives you two different route options: one route description mentions the Ilz, while the other refers to the Gaißatal valley and the Danube. If you like to combine your trip with hikes, these names can help you decide what interests you during your stay.

Circular Hiking Trail 3 starts at the Mausmühle car park and runs for approximately 7 km along the Ilz. Its circular route, starting point and approximate length give you specific details for planning your day. If you are looking for a particular circuit, you can distinguish this route from the others mentioned. Keep the approximate distance of 7 km in mind when planning.

Chapel circuits and a Zille boat at the Ilz reservoir

Four Chapel Hiking and Cycling Circuits take local residents and visitors through the countryside of the municipalities of Ruderting and Tiefenbach, from chapel to chapel. The chapels provide the circuits’ theme. This differs from a hike whose description mentions the Ilz or the route to the Danube. For a group outing, you can choose whether you would rather focus on a riverside route or a series of chapels.

Visitors can rent a Zille boat at the Ilz reservoir. This adds an activity on the water to the hiking and cycling circuits as another way to shape your stay. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Tiefenbach, the experiences that matter most to you can help you decide: trails, chapels or a Zille boat at the Ilz reservoir. These themes offer different experiences, but do not imply any particular location or amenities for an accommodation.

Local history museum and traces of the past

The local history museum is located in the “Old Schoolhouse”, built in 1906. It documents local secular, church and everyday history and collects objects of cultural and historical interest. Its scope therefore goes beyond a single subject: you can explore secular life, church history and everyday life in the area. For a stay where cultural discoveries matter as much as outdoor activities, the museum offers a distinct subject to explore.

The former Haselbach manor castle is another part of Tiefenbach’s history. It is a small four-wing complex with a risalit and enclosed courtyard. This small four-wing complex with a risalit and enclosed courtyard is a distinctive architectural feature. If you are interested in local history, you will find several things to explore: a museum covering secular, church and everyday history, as well as a former castle with a more specifically described layout.

Two boundary stones have stood in the Lohwald forest on the border with the neighbouring municipality of Ruderting since 1691. They marked the boundary between Kurbayern and the Prince-Bishopric of Passau and are known locally as “Kaisa and Kini”. The stones connect a specific place with an earlier border; their traditional names give this historical detail its own local designation.

Another place to explore is Ranzing. When choosing a holiday apartment, you can consider what you would like to focus on during your trip: hiking along the Ilz and Danube, chapel circuits, an excursion to the Ilz reservoir or exploring local history.
