Discover Hebertsfelden

If you are looking for a hotel for a trip to Hebertsfelden, architectural history, local heritage and the Wayside Shrine Trail offer concrete themes to help you plan. In Hebertsfelden, these include the village fountain on Kirchenplatz, St. Emmeram Parish Church and the local history museum in the old brickworks. Nearby Rottenstuben adds churches and trails to the mix.

Churches and local history

The village fountain on Kirchenplatz features a rooster, a symbol of village life in the past. It was created by sculptor Karl Reidel from Kumhausen. The Catholic parish church of St. Emmeram is a neo-Gothic exposed-brick building, constructed from 1855 to 1858 according to plans by Leonhard Schmidtner. Beside the parish church stands the also neo-Gothic cemetery chapel, dating from the late 19th century; it has furnishings. Together, the two buildings illustrate different periods within neo-Gothic architecture.

In Rottenstuben stands the branch church of St. James, a small rendered brick building dating from the mid-15th century. Its features include a narrower choir and a squat west tower; the church also has furnishings. Its design and age differ from the neo-Gothic buildings in Hebertsfelden. This means that exploring the churches lets you consider different architectural styles and periods.

Local history museum and trails

The local history museum in the old brickworks displays an extensive collection of agricultural machinery and equipment. This includes horse-drawn wagons for various occasions as well as old, hand-operated fire engines. Visits are possible only by prior arrangement with the municipal administration. When making your inquiry, also confirm the current visiting arrangements before planning your museum visit.

Hebertsfelden Hiking Trail 1, the Wayside Shrine Trail, is a hiking trail. The pilgrimage church in Rottenstuben lies directly along this route; St. James Church is also a notable landmark there. This brings the themes of churches and hiking together in one specific place, without needing information about the trail's length or walking time.

A movement park was created at the sports ground in Hebertsfelden in 2016/2017. It is intended to provide play opportunities for children and encourage people of all ages to enjoy physical activity. The park's description thus emphasizes both play and exercise without specifying individual pieces of equipment.

Rottal-Inn: regional highlights

The wider Rottal-Inn travel destination offers additional attractions. The Rottal Terme has more than 30 pleasantly warm thermal-water pools with temperatures ranging from 26 to 40 °C, as well as 13 different saunas and steam baths. Other offerings include a 105-metre-long thermal stream and health, prevention and wellness services. The figures may change when renovations take place. Every year, Theater an der Rott presents premieres in drama, musical theatre, concerts, dance, operetta and opera, and is Germany's only theater owned by a district.

For Gothic architecture, the “Gothic Tours” introduce selected monuments to local residents and tourists. Brochures, maps, the tour portal and the Gothic portal provide orientation. The Gothic portal offers audio guides to Gothic buildings that can be accessed on site, as well as an online museum with information, knowledge and learning resources.

Cycling and hiking are also part of Rottal-Inn: the Inn Cycle Route runs through the Unterer Inn European Nature Reserve and offers glimpses of the region's flora and fauna in the Rottal-Inn recreation area. The recreation area has a well-developed, extensive network of several hundred kilometres of trails for hikers and cyclists. The tour portal supports individual route planning with elevation profiles, information about trail conditions and GPX downloads.

The Rottal Farm Tour is an experience programme exploring rural life, everyday work, wildlife and farming culture. Traditional crafts, handicraft techniques and regional “Schmankerl” cuisine are also among its themes.
