Eichendorf: Weekly Market and Outdoor Pool

Eichendorf offers different reasons to visit: the weekly market takes place every Saturday, while the outdoor pool is a seasonal leisure option. Nearby, a bathing spot at Wisselsdorf provides a place to cool off along the Vilstal Cucumber Cycle Route. During your stay, you can distinguish these local attractions from the cultural and natural attractions in the wider Dingolfing-Landau destination.

Market Square and Weekly Market

The Eichendorf weekly market takes place at Market Square every Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon. This gives you a specific time frame if you want to plan your visit around the weekly market. Check the details locally again before you travel. The Saturday market is a different planning consideration from the outdoor pool’s seasonal opening hours, which also depend on the weather.

Eichendorf Outdoor Pool and Cycling Option at Wisselsdorf

All pools at the Eichendorf outdoor pool are heated. The facilities include a children’s playground, a football pitch and a beach volleyball court. The wide wave slide is 25 metres long and 3 metres wide, with a starting height of 4.26 metres. The outdoor pool’s opening hours vary depending on the season and weather. If swimming is important to your stay, check the opening hours for your planned visit.

Further along the Vilstal Cucumber Cycle Route, cyclists can cool off in a bathing pond at Wisselsdorf. This option is in the vicinity of Eichendorf. This makes it easy to distinguish the bathing pond at Wisselsdorf as a place to cool off during a bike ride from the outdoor pool in Eichendorf.

Culture and Nature in the Wider Dingolfing-Landau Destination

For additional attractions, it is worth looking at the wider Dingolfing-Landau destination. At Kastenhof Landau in Landau’s old town, original archaeological finds from the region tell the story of the first farmers. Hands-on replicas, striking images and Lisar, a lifelike figure of a Neolithic woman, bring the past to life.

The Landau Local History Museum is located in the Weißgerberhaus. It showcases rural domestic culture, faith and devotion, Landau’s history, as well as bourgeois domestic life and self-presentation and urban crafts. Its main focus is the 19th century. The Dingolfing Museum offers a different perspective: it occupies three historic buildings in the Upper Town—the Herzogsburg, the Pfleghof and the Getreidekasten—and presents Dingolfing’s urban and industrial history from the Neolithic period to the present day. The Herzogsburg was built around 1410 as the Kastner’s official residence and as accommodation for the Bavarian dukes.

The pilgrimage church of Maria im Steinfels is another distinct cultural landmark in the wider Dingolfing-Landau destination. It was consecrated in 1726; its altar stands in front of a Nagelfluh rock face.

The “Vilstal near Marklkofen” nature reserve is part of the region’s landscape. It covers almost 175 hectares and provides a habitat for numerous animal and plant species. The nature reserve contains Lake Vilstal, which covers around 100 hectares. It is ideal for walks and bike rides, and also offers opportunities for boating, sailing and surfing. The area figures refer to different areas: almost 175 hectares for the nature reserve and around 100 hectares for the lake.

Another option in the wider destination is the sauna and wellness area at Caprima leisure pool. It has been renovated and certified as a “premium facility” by the German Sauna Association (Deutscher Sauna-Bund e.V.).
