Postmünster on Lake Rottauensee

Postmünster offers several specific starting points for planning your trip: Swimming and water sports are the main attractions at Lake Rottauensee, while the Rottal Cycle Route, walking paths and bridleways add to the leisure options. In the town centre, the late Gothic parish church of St. Benedict provides a historic focal point. This mix helps you choose a hotel based on the interests you want to shape your stay.

Leisure activities at Lake Rottauensee and along the Rott

Lake Rottauensee offers swimming opportunities, and the natural floodplain meadows around the lake invite you to relax. Swimming conditions can vary by season. Surfing and sailing are also possible on the lake, while motorised boats are not permitted.

When there is enough snow, cross-country ski trails are groomed around Lake Rottauensee. This is clearly different from swimming conditions, which can vary by season: the trails require sufficient snow. Postmünster is also situated directly on the 87-kilometre Rottal Cycle Route. The route follows the Rott from Neumarkt-St. Veit to Neuhaus am Inn. Its length and two endpoints give you a guide for planning your route.

Walking paths for strolls, hikes and runs follow the Rott, circle Lake Rottauensee and cross the surrounding hilly countryside. Signposted bridleways also run around the lake and along the Rott. West of Lake Rottauensee, an 18-hole golf course is set amid floodplain meadows and biotopes. If you plan to play golf, check the latest operating details separately.

Churches and architectural history

The late Gothic parish church of St. Benedict stands in the centre of Postmünster and is an impressive 15th-century building. The Hustenmutter Chapel was built in 1748 as a Rococo rotunda with a cloverleaf-shaped floor plan. The two buildings offer different architectural points of reference: St. Benedict is defined by its late Gothic style and 15th-century origins, while the chapel is distinguished by its 1748 construction date and Rococo form.
