Four swimming lakes, a cycling bridge connecting to the Danube Cycle Path, and a variety of activities ranging from water sports to culture make Feldkirchen an der Donau a destination with plenty of options for your stay. When planning, first consider whether you would rather spend time by the water, cycling, hiking or enjoying cultural activities.
Swimming Lakes, Cycle Path and Pump Track
The four Feldkirchen swimming lakes are connected to the Danube Cycle Path by a new cycling bridge. You can go stand-up paddleboarding at the JETLAKE water sports centre at the Feldkirchen swimming lakes. Water sports are seasonal, so check the latest information for the dates of your planned visit. The Aquapark at Seeseitn Feldkirchen covers 2,450 m². Its operating conditions may vary seasonally, so it is worth checking the information for your chosen date.
The Feldkirchen pump track is a dedicated cycling attraction. The paved circuit features jumps, banked turns and rollers and can be ridden in any direction. This makes it easy to distinguish the circuit itself from the connection to the Danube Cycle Path: here, the focus is on the track’s features and elements, while the cycling bridge provides access to the recreational area. Which option you include in your plans depends on whether you are looking for a cycling connection or the pump track itself.
Cultural Trails and Landscapes
The 7-Chapel Tour is a cultural hike in Feldkirchen an der Donau. A detour to the Leaning Chapel takes you to a small historic monument and viewpoint. From there, you can enjoy views across the Danube Valley towards the Alpine foothills and the hilly MĂĽhlviertel region. Feldkirchen parish church offers another glimpse into history: its freestanding bell tower once also served as a defensive tower.
For a different hiking landscape, head to the Pesenbach Valley, which has an alpine character. Sure-footedness, good fitness and sturdy footwear are required. The “Paths to Healing” route leads to places of energy and activity stations, and is based on Kneipp’s teachings. Trail conditions may change after heavy rain, snow pressure or flooding; take the weather and current conditions into account when planning your hike. This makes it easy to distinguish the cultural hike along the 7-Chapel Tour from the trails and requirements in the Pesenbach Valley.
Pilgrimage, Weekly Market and Golf
The branch church in Pesenbach is a popular pilgrimage destination. The feast day of Saint Leonard is celebrated every year on November 6 and the following Sunday. It attracts thousands of pilgrims, churchgoers and visitors to the parish fair. If you would like to include this occasion in your travel plans, time your visit to coincide with the dates given.
The Feldkirchen weekly market offers regional products, mostly from organic farms, as well as a wide selection of handicrafts. The range may change, so if you are coming for a particular product, check the latest market information. For golf, the Donau Golf Club is another option, with an 18-hole championship course. Alongside water activities and hiking, you can also choose from market visits, handicrafts, pilgrimages and golf. Choose the activities you want to shape your stay, and plan around seasonal offerings and the annual feast day according to your travel dates.
