Discover Hunderdorf

For a trip to Hunderdorf, two specific areas of interest can be distinguished: church culture with organs and chapels, and cycling along a route that passes through the municipality. If you are looking for a hotel for a visit, these themes can help you decide whether Hunderdorf fits your travel plans.

Organs and chapels

The parish church of St. Nicholas in Hunderdorf houses an organ built in 1982 by the Georg Jann company of Allkofen. It has 18 sounding stops and two manuals. Stops describe the different timbres of an instrument; the manuals are the keyboards played with the hands. When comparing instruments, the number of stops and the number of manuals are therefore separate characteristics. For music-loving travelers, these details provide a concrete starting point for making the instrument the focus of a visit to the village.

In Hofdorf, St. Edigna Chapel is dedicated to Blessed Edigna of Puch. On September 8, 2024, St. Edigna and its historic Baroque organ were opened to the public. Since the opening is dated to that day, check current access arrangements before your visit.

Cycling and choosing where to stay

The Danube-Regen Cycle Route passes through the municipality of Hunderdorf. This adds a second, active point of interest to the church and organ culture. If you would like to include the route in your plans, check current route conditions before setting out.
