Mitterteich: Outdoor Swimming Pool, Communal Brewery and Cycle Route Access

There are several different ways to plan a stay in Mitterteich: the heated outdoor swimming pool, the Fit & Fun Park with access to the cross-border Wallenstein Cycle Route, the communal brewery and a picnic service. If you are looking for a hotel in Mitterteich, you can plan your trip around the interests you want to shape your stay. Swimming, leisure time in the park, brewing history and a picnic each offer a different focus.

Swimming and leisure in the park

Mitterteich outdoor swimming pool is a recreational facility with heated pools. The swimming pool has 50-metre lanes; there is also a diving pool with 1-, 3- and 5-metre platforms, as well as a non-swimmer pool with a 41-metre water slide. The facilities can be grouped into three distinct areas: lanes, the diving pool, and the non-swimmer pool with its slide. When planning, you can check which pool facilities are relevant to your swimming plans. If you are planning a visit, it is advisable to check the pool’s current opening hours.

The Fit & Fun Park has a BMX pump track, a children’s playground with play equipment, a table tennis table, a streetball court, a skate area and a grass football pitch. The park offers a range of leisure activities: BMX and skating, table tennis, ball courts and play equipment. The park is connected to the cross-border Wallenstein Cycle Route along the former railway line. The park’s open space and the route connection were created when the disused Wiesau–Waldsassen railway line was removed and Federal Highway 15 was rerouted.

Communal brewery and picnic service

At the communal brewery in Mitterteich, every citizen has the right to brew beer. The new brewery was built in 1864 in what is now Vorstadt, formerly known as Gänsewiese. The brewing right and the construction date describe different aspects: the right applies to brewing by citizens, while 1864 is the year the new brewery was built. Together, they reflect a local brewing tradition and a specific historical building context.

For groups of two or more, the Mitterteich picnic service delivers a picnic basket from the Mitterteich bakery to two panoramic spots. Arrange the service through the town’s Tourist Information office. You can take the minimum group size and the specified delivery locations into account when planning your picnic.

Additional destinations within the broader Tirschenreuth travel destination

Within the broader Tirschenreuth travel destination, the MuseumsQuartier in a former monastery brings together the Upper Palatinate Fisheries Museum and six other specialist exhibitions. Visitors can explore nearly 1,000 years of fishing and fish-farming history and see local fish in four large aquariums. The MuseumsQuartier also regularly hosts special exhibitions, lectures, readings and concerts. Individual dates may vary; check the current programme if you would like to combine your stay with an event.

Another place within the broader Tirschenreuth travel destination is Fischhofpark. At the centre of the park are the historic Fischhof Bridge and the Fischhof, which houses the district court. The MuseumsQuartier, with its exhibitions and aquariums, offers a different focus from the two historic buildings in Fischhofpark. You can therefore consider exhibitions and a park visit as different interests when planning your trip.

The region’s culinary traditions also provide context: Tirschenreuth district is best known for Zoigl, the cult beer of the Upper Palatinate Forest, and carp from the pond landscapes of the “Land of 1,000 Ponds”. These topics add a wider district perspective to Mitterteich. The right to brew at the communal brewery remains a local feature of Mitterteich, while Zoigl and carp are associated with Tirschenreuth district.
