Discover Traitsching

Traitsching offers two different starting points for planning a trip: the former moated castle in Loifling and the seasonal family outdoor swimming pool in Sattelbogen. The moated castle is a residential tower complex dating from the 14th century, typical of the southeastern Upper Palatinate. The outdoor pool invites you to swim and relax. If you are looking for a hotel in Traitsching, you can use these different interests as a starting point when choosing where to stay: are you more interested in architectural history or a seasonal swimming activity? This makes it clear from the outset whether historic architecture or a time-limited leisure activity is a better fit for your trip.

Architectural history in Loifling

The former moated castle in Loifling can be classified by its architectural form and date: it is a residential tower complex dating from the 14th century and is typical of the southeastern Upper Palatinate. “Residential tower complex” is a more precise description of its architectural form than the general term “castle”; the term combines a residential function with a tower-like character. This provides two tangible points of reference: the actual building in Loifling and its place in regional architectural history. For a trip focused on historic buildings, this is a different emphasis from swimming in the outdoor pool. The architectural form and century complement one another: one describes the type of complex found in Loifling, while the other indicates the period to which it belongs.

Seasonal outdoor pool in Sattelbogen

The family outdoor pool in Sattelbogen offers a different focus. It invites you to swim and relax and is open seasonally. The facilities include a large non-swimmer pool with a wide water slide and a separate children's paddling pool with a fountain. As a swimming activity, the seasonal outdoor pool has a different time frame from the moated castle, which dates back to the 14th century. If swimming is to be an important part of your stay, bear in mind that the pool is seasonal and check the latest visitor information before your visit.
