Rohr in Niederbayern offers two different ways to combine activity and culture during your stay: the six-kilometre Napoleon circular route around the market town of Rohr, and the approximately 14-kilometre Langquaid–Rohr stage of the VIA NOVA through the valley of the Große Laber. The circular route includes a visit to the monastery church; a possible stop is the beer garden at Gasthof Sixt. The two routes therefore offer different distances to consider when planning. Here, activity, culture and food come together.

The Napoleon Circular Route

The Napoleon circular route is a short six-kilometre walk around the market town of Rohr. The route includes a visit to the monastery church; stopping at the beer garden at Gasthof Sixt is also an option. This distinction is useful when planning your day: the church visit is part of the route, while stopping for refreshments is an additional option. You can therefore plan the walk as a trip in its own right and include a stop only if it suits your schedule. Check local trail conditions before setting out, as they may change. The six-kilometre distance gives you a clear idea of how long the walk is.

Monastery Church, Audio Guide and Refreshments

Gasthof Sixt is right next to the monastery church. Its beer garden serves Bavarian specialities and freshly brewed beer. This means the church visit and a possible stop for refreshments are right next to each other, without making the inn a fixed part of your itinerary. An audio guide for the church is available for a small fee in the monastery shop. If you would like to use it, you can plan this audio option as an addition to your church visit. Check locally in advance on opening hours, what is on offer and whether the audio guide is available, as visiting arrangements may change.

A Longer Stage on the VIA NOVA

The European VIA NOVA is a pilgrimage route; its approximately 14-kilometre Langquaid–Rohr stage passes through the valley of the Große Laber. It is therefore around eight kilometres longer than the Napoleon circular route around the market town of Rohr. The routes also differ in their geographical setting: one loops around the market town, while the other runs through the valley. As a pilgrimage stage, the VIA NOVA offers a different kind of walk from the local circular route. Comparing the two helps you choose based not only on distance, but also on the type of outing: a short walk with a church visit or a longer pilgrimage route.

Choose a Hotel Based on Your Reason for Travelling

When looking for hotels in Rohr, you can start by deciding what brings you here: will your stay centre on the Napoleon circular route, with a church visit and the option of stopping for refreshments, or is the VIA NOVA stage your main focus?
