Two organ locations give Hunderdorf a distinct cultural focus: St. Edigna in Hofdorf and the parish church of St. Nicholas in Hunderdorf. The Danube-Regen Cycle Route, which runs through the municipal area, is another highlight. This offers culture and cycling as different points of focus for planning your trip.
Organs in Hofdorf and Hunderdorf
The Chapel of St. Edigna in Hofdorf opened to the public on September 8, 2024, with its historic Baroque organ. The chapel is dedicated to Blessed Edigna of Puch. If you are planning a visit, please check current access arrangements in advance.
Another cultural highlight is the organ in the parish church of St. Nicholas in Hunderdorf. The Georg Jann company of Allkofen built the instrument in 1982. It has 18 sounding stops and two manuals—specific details that reveal the features of this organ.
The two locations offer different highlights: in Hofdorf, the chapel’s dedication and historic Baroque organ take center stage, while at St. Nicholas, the year it was built, along with its stops and manuals, are the focus. This allows you to explore organ culture both from a historical perspective and through the design of a specific instrument.
Cycling through the municipal area
The Danube-Regen Cycle Route runs through the municipal area of Hunderdorf. This means that, alongside its organs, the area also offers a specific cycling route. Check current conditions before setting off.
When planning your trip, you can choose between two different interests: the chapels and organs are the cultural highlight, while the Danube-Regen Cycle Route offers an option for a trip by bike. You can explore both themes separately, without assuming that they share a route or require a fixed itinerary.
