Three distinct themes can help you plan a stay in Auerbach: the nature trail, with views of the Ohe and a mixed forest; the Kneipp facility, with a sensory trail and a picnic area; and the Gunther Trail, with its sequence of villages. They also differ in the kind of outing they offer: a winter weekend walk for families, a picnic break at the facility, or a route that continues beyond Auerbach.
Nature Trail: Scenery and a Winter Walk
The nature trail in Auerbach offers views of the Ohe and an idyllic mixed forest. The trail is also particularly suitable for a winter weekend walk with the family. Two planning ideas come together here: a specific landscape and a seasonal activity. If you would like to spend a winter weekend enjoying a walk together, this trail makes a fitting focus.
Kneipp Facility with Sensory Trail: Picnic and Directions
A table and benches are available at the Kneipp facility with sensory trail, making it a convenient place to stop for a picnic. A hikers’ car park is located before the entrance to Auerbach; from there, it is about 400 metres to the facility. Use this approximate distance to help plan your visit, and check local conditions before setting out.
Gunther Trail: A Route Through Several Villages
The Gunther Trail passes through Auerbach, Berging, Mapferding and Vorderherberg, crossing the parish there, then continues via Rohrstetten to Rinchnach. It was also connected to the GOLDEN TRAIL between Passau and Bohemia.
The sequence of villages can help you choose the kind of outing you want: the nature trail is a specific option for a winter weekend walk with the family, while the Gunther Trail is defined by its route through several villages to Rinchnach. This lets you compare a walk in Auerbach with a route that continues beyond the village.
Views in the Deggendorf holiday region
In the Deggendorf holiday region, Natternberg Castle Ruins can be reached via footpaths from three sides. From there, the view stretches far across the Gäuboden plain and into the Bavarian Forest. Winzer Castle Ruins offer a magnificent view of the Danube Valley. The viewpoints therefore look out over different landscapes: from Natternberg, the Gäuboden and Bavarian Forest take centre stage; from Winzer, it is the Danube Valley.
The Deggendorf region encompasses a broad range of landscapes, from the heights of the Bavarian Forest, across the Danube landscape and the Isar estuary, to the rich colours of the Gäuboden plain. Elevations range from 200 to 1,150 metres above sea level. The Deggendorf holiday region thus combines views from individual castle ruins with a broader description of the landscape.
