Cycling and Hiking in Ruhstorf
The Roman Cycle Route and the SaurĂĽssel Cycle Route pass through the municipality of the market town of Ruhstorf a.d.Rott. The Rottal Cycle Route also runs through the area and, together with the Roman Cycle Route, connects to the Danube Cycle Path and the Inn Cycle Path. This gives you different points of reference when choosing a route: all three cycle routes are described as passing through Ruhstorf, and the Rottal Cycle Route is also described as connecting to the two named cycle paths.
The Ruhstorf Church Hiking Trail is signposted with yellow signs bearing a church symbol; colored dots mark the individual routes. It starts at Ruhstorf Town Hall, with parking spaces directly behind the building. Four climbs lead to the churches and viewpoints, so the trail is not suitable for strollers in some sections. If you are planning to use a stroller, take this limitation into account when choosing your route. Views extend over the Rott and the Inn Valley, and in clear conditions as far as the Alpine range.
Churches and Architectural History
The Church of St. Mary stands in an idyllic spot by the Kleeberger Bach in the center of Ruhstorf and was built between 1772 and 1776. A much later construction period is represented by the modern parish church of “Christ the King”: Würzburg Cathedral architect Schedl built it between 1959 and 1962. The construction dates offer a comparison between the 18th-century Church of St. Mary and a modern church building.
The Church of the Seven Sleepers stands in Rotthof, a place within the municipality of Ruhstorf a.d.Rott. Its Baroque high altar was transformed into a grotto illusion using crates, tufa and shells; it depicts the seven youths by Balthasar Modler. The unusual dedication is linked to two Roman tombstones in the outer wall. They show three and four people respectively, who were mistakenly interpreted as the Seven Sleepers during the Baroque period. The Seven Sleepers are revered as witnesses to the Resurrection in both the Christian and Islamic traditions.
Outdoor Pool and Regional Products
The Ruhstorf outdoor pool includes a 50-meter swimming pool with 3-meter and 1-meter diving boards. There is also a heated leisure pool with a wide children's slide. Both the swimming pool and the leisure pool are heated. The two pools differ in their features: one is a swimming pool with diving boards, while the other is a leisure pool with a slide.
“Kleeberger Kistl” offers regional products from the Rott and Inn valleys supplied by around 20 local direct-marketing businesses. Examples include sausage, cheese, honey, smoked products, potatoes, eggs, flour, pasta and cooking oils. The specific range and participating businesses may change.
