Eichendorf’s weekly market gives your stay a regular Saturday date: it takes place every Saturday from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the market square. If you plan your visit around the market, confirm the date locally before setting out. Eichendorf outdoor pool provides a second, seasonal point of interest during your visit; its opening hours vary depending on the season and weather.
Weekly Market and Outdoor Pool in Eichendorf
All the pools at the outdoor pool are heated. The facilities also include a children’s playground, a soccer field and a beach volleyball court. One striking feature is the broad-wave slide: it is 25 meters long and 3 meters wide, with an entry height of 4.26 meters. This gives you a clear picture of what the outdoor pool offers, while keeping in mind that its opening hours depend on the season and weather. Check the opening hours for the day you plan to visit.
Further along the Vilstal Cucumber Cycle Route, cyclists can cool off in a bathing pond near Wisselsdorf. This differs from the outdoor pool in Eichendorf: the pond is part of a cycling excursion, while the outdoor pool is a swimming spot right in town. If you’d like to combine water with a bike ride, this distinction can help with planning.
Culture in the wider Dingolfing-Landau destination
In the wider Dingolfing-Landau destination, Kastenhof Landau focuses on the era of the first farmers: original archaeological finds from the region tell their story. Hands-on replicas, striking images and the lifelike figure Lisar, a Neolithic woman, bring the past to life. The Landau Local History Museum has a different focus. Housed in the 250-year-old Weißgerberhaus, it presents rural domestic culture, faith and piety, Landau’s town history, bourgeois living and self-representation, and crafts in the town. Its focus is on the 19th century.
The Dingolfing Museum also brings together several historic sites: in the Upper Town, it spans the Herzogsburg, the Pfleghof and the Getreidekasten. Its themes range from the Neolithic period to the present day and include Dingolfing’s town and industrial history. The Herzogsburg was built around 1410 as the official residence of the Kastner (an administrative official) and as quarters for the Bavarian dukes. In the pilgrimage church of Maria im Steinfels, the altar stands in front of a Nagelfluh rock face; the church was consecrated in 1726. These sites offer different perspectives, from archaeological finds and town history to architectural and church history.
Landscape and Activities in Dingolfing-Landau
The “Vilstal near Marklkofen” nature reserve covers almost 175 hectares and provides habitat for numerous animal and plant species. The Vilstalsee, which covers around 100 hectares, lies within the nature reserve. It invites visitors to go hiking and cycling, and also offers opportunities for boating, sailing and surfing. The wider destination therefore offers a choice of cultural attractions as well as nature and water activities. The local points of interest in Eichendorf—the weekly market and outdoor pool—remain distinct from these.
When planning a visit to the outdoor pool, take its season- and weather-dependent opening hours into account.
