At Rottauensee: Swimming and Water Sports

Rottauensee has swimming facilities, and the natural floodplain meadows around the lake invite you to relax. Swimming facilities may vary by season. Surfing and sailing are also possible on the lake, but motorboats are not permitted. When there is enough snow, cross-country ski trails are groomed around Rottauensee. Water activities and cross-country skiing therefore depend on different seasonal conditions when planning your holiday.

Exploring the Rott, the Lake and the Hilly Countryside

Postmünster lies directly on the 87-kilometre Rottal Cycle Route. The route follows the Rott from Neumarkt-St. Veit to Neuhaus am Inn. Walking trails for strolls, hikes and runs follow the Rott, circle Rottauensee and cross the surrounding hilly countryside. Signposted riding trails also run around the lake and along the Rott.

West of Rottauensee, an 18-hole golf course lies amid floodplain meadows and biotopes. Check the latest operating details before visiting.

Architectural Heritage in the Town Centre

In the centre of Postmünster stands the parish church of St. Benedict, an imposing Late Gothic building dating from the 15th century. The Hustenmutter Chapel was built in 1748 as a circular Rococo building with a trefoil-shaped floor plan. The Late Gothic church and the chapel’s circular design offer contrasting architectural features.
