Finsing offers two clearly distinct options for planning your day: the Finsinger Weiher pond in Neufinsing and the Skulp Tour III, which starts in Finsing. The pond covers an area of 23,450 m², with sunbathing areas around it. When planning, you can first decide whether to focus on the water and sunbathing areas or on a cycling tour.
History in the Municipality of Finsing
Eicherloh is part of the municipality of Finsing and offers two historical points of interest. The Church of the Assumption of Mary in Eicherloh was consecrated by Auxiliary Bishop Dr. Johannes Neuhäusler on July 27, 1958. The schoolhouse is also part of the history of religious life in Eicherloh: an altar niche was added during its construction in 1933/34. After the schoolhouse was completed, services could be held there. These details describe two different places of religious life: the schoolhouse during the construction period and the church, which was consecrated later.
More to Explore in the Wider Erding Destination
The wider Erding destination has additional cultural and leisure activities to offer. The Erdinger Bauernhausmuseum (Erding Farmhouse Museum) comprises 15 historic buildings relocated there from the district of Erding. It presents the historical farming economy and way of life of the 19th and early 20th centuries. A visit to the museum thus links the buildings with a tangible insight into past ways of working and living.
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 sell regional and seasonal goods and food there. Market hours may change, so check them before your visit. You can reach the museum on city bus routes 523 and 524 and regional bus routes 561 and 562, getting off at the “Erding-Freilichtmuseum” stop. Check the connections before setting out.
Another glimpse into Erding’s history awaits at the town tower, one of the city’s oldest buildings. On a guided tour of the town tower, 163 steps take you to a height of 35 metres. From there, the view extends across Erding and the surrounding area as far as Munich; on föhn-wind days, you can also see the Alps. The condition for this distant view is therefore clearly stated. Guided tours of Erding also give residents and tourists insights into the history of the city and its buildings.
Walking and Cycling Routes
Visitors looking to compare routes by the time required will find a range of options in Erding. The hiking trails are between 5.9 and 15 kilometres long, with estimated walking times of between one and a half and five hours. One trail leads to St. Martin’s Church in Indorf. Themed walks take around an hour and lead through the old town, through city neighbourhoods or in the footsteps of artists. The shorter estimated duration of the themed walks can thus be compared with the longer walking times for the hiking trails.
For cycling enthusiasts, the district of Erding offers another way to explore the region: there are more than 28 varied, well-signposted cycling tours. This selection across the district is distinct from the local starting point of the Skulp Tour III in Finsing. You can choose between the route that starts in Finsing and the wider range of tours in the district of Erding without treating the two as if they were in the same location.
The former home and studio of Franz Xaver Stahl adds to the cultural attractions in the wider Erding destination. The Biedermeier house dates from around 1840 and is furnished with historical furniture. The former studio has been preserved unchanged since his death. The home and studio thus offer two different insights into Franz Xaver Stahl’s former living and working space.
