The Luise Rinser Trail begins at Rathausplatz in Kirchanschöring and is about 11.2 kilometres long. The route length is an approximate figure. A detailed cycling map is available from the Tourist Information Office of the Municipality of Kirchanschöring; ask there about current availability. The two notes serve different purposes: the Luise Rinser Trail has a stated starting point and approximate length, while the map helps with planning cycling tours. The distance in kilometres is useful for rough tour planning.
Lake Waging: water sports and ice skating
Lake Waging borders Kirchanschöring and is Bavaria’s warmest lake. It offers many opportunities for water sports. When temperatures are suitable, you can ice skate on the lake against a backdrop of the Alps. Water sports and the explicitly weather-dependent opportunity to ice skate are therefore two different options at the same lake.
Traditional farming crafts in the surrounding area
Nearby, in Hof, you’ll find the Rupertiwinkel Farm Museum. Farm equipment and traditional crafts are demonstrated there; you can also visit the Zehentstadel and a collection of vintage tractors. Other exhibits include a grain storehouse, a flax-breaking bath, a bread oven, and agricultural and craft tools. The museum’s centrepiece is a historic steam engine. Demonstrations and specific exhibits offer different points of interest: you can explore both the traditional crafts and the tools and collection pieces. The museum is open seasonally; arrangements are available for groups. Check the latest details on seasonal opening and group offers before your visit.
You can also visit the castle in Tittmoning. If you plan to visit, check the current visiting arrangements in advance.

Culture in the town of Traunstein
In the town of Traunstein, the historic town walk passes the Kulturforum Klosterkirche, then continues to the Salinenkapelle, the saltworks houses and the Salinenpark, established in 2019. The surviving saltworks houses and the Salinenkapelle offer a glimpse into Traunstein’s important salt-making history; the Salinenkapelle is Germany’s largest chapel. Two museums explore other cultural topics in different ways: the brewery museum near the Jacklturm is part of Hofbräuhaus Traunstein. The Heimathaus houses a town and toy museum with exhibits on civic culture, sacred art and the history of the saltworks.
