Cycling Tour and Circular Walk

Cycling Tour 1, “Münchnener Schotterebene,” continues north from Eitting. If cycling is part of your travel plans, the route provides a useful point of reference; check current route conditions before setting off.

A 2019 district brochure describes a circular walk in the municipality of Eitting. It is 6 km long, with a stated walking time of 1 hour and 28 minutes. The starting point and finish are at the car park on Erdinger Allee, and botanical highlights are considered worth seeing. The route is unsuitable for prams; according to the brochure, it can be walked year-round. Check current conditions before setting off.

For comparison, hiking trails in the broader Erding destination range from 5.9 to 15 kilometres; estimated walking times range from one and a half to five hours. At 6 kilometres, the circular walk in the municipality of Eitting is close to the lower end of that distance range, and its walking time of 1 hour and 28 minutes is just under the shortest time stated there.

In the Broader Erding Destination

The Erdinger Bauernhausmuseum is dedicated to the historic farming economy and way of life of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The site includes 15 listed buildings relocated from the district of Erding. This gives Erding its own cultural and historical focus alongside the nature and route-related attractions of the municipality of Eitting.

The former home and studio of Franz Xaver Stahl is furnished with historical furniture. The Biedermeier house dates from around 1840; the former studio has remained unchanged since his death. The house thus brings together the history of a living space and that of an artist’s workplace.

The guided tour of Erding’s town tower climbs 163 steps to a height of 35 metres. From there, the view stretches across Erding and the surrounding area to Munich, and in föhn conditions as far as the Alpine panorama. City tours give residents and tourists insight into the history of the town and its buildings.

A farmers’ market is held on the grounds of the Erdinger Bauernhausmuseum every Friday from 12:00 to 16:30. Farmers from the district of Erding offer regional and seasonal goods and food. As opening times may change, check them before your visit.
