Hinterzhof: Kirta, Art and Canoe Trips

If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Hinterzhof, the reason for your trip is a good place to start. Local highlights include the annual Hinterzhof Kirta festival, exhibitions at the Müller-Stodl and canoe trips, which can be booked through Erlebnismax. They differ mainly in timing: the Kirta dates change each year, exhibitions depend on the events programme, and a canoe trip should be arranged in advance. So first decide whether a specific date or a booked activity will shape your trip.

Events and Art in Hinterzhof

The Klopferclub Hinterzhof organises the Hinterzhof Kirta every year. The dates vary from year to year. If you are planning to travel specifically for the Kirta, check the date for the relevant year before setting your travel dates.

Exhibitions are held at the Müller-Stodl in Hinterzhof as part of the events programme of the Laaber artists' association. The artists' association provides a platform for regional artists. Its range includes paintings, sculptures, collages, installations and videos. If you would like to visit a particular exhibition, check the specific event in the programme for your travel dates.

The Müller-Stodl is an exhibition barn built in 1867 and forms part of a farm in the Upper Palatinate style. Its year of construction and architectural style add an extra historical dimension to a visit to the exhibitions. This way, the art at the Müller-Stodl is connected with the history of the building and its place on a farm in the Upper Palatinate style.

Canoe Trips and Le Café

Canoe trips can be booked through Erlebnismax in Hinterzhof. If you would like to include a trip in your plans, check availability in advance. This allows you to plan the activity as a separate focus alongside the cultural events.

Le Café in Hinterzhof combines a café with a bridal shop. Check the current operating details before visiting.
