Local history and landscape have specific points of reference in Egglfing am Inn: from the Meierhof farmstead, the settlement’s origin, to the fishing educational trail along the Inn embankment. There is also a cycling tour that runs from Bad Füssing via Neuhaus/Inn and Schärding to Egglfing and back. This gives you a choice of different themes: historical sites, connections with nature, or a route with several stops in named places.
Landscape between forest and barrage
Aigen Forest lies between WĂĽrding, Egglfing and Aigen. The Ramsar site extends within the Egglfing-Obernberg barrage. These two details locate the landscape in different ways: one by naming three places, the other by referring to the barrage. If you are interested in nature, you will find two specific points of reference without conflating them into a single area.
The fishing educational trail is another local attraction on the Inn. It runs along the Inn embankment between Würding and Egglfing and was created at the initiative of the Würding Angling Club. The cycling tour follows a different route: it begins in Bad Füssing, continues via Neuhaus/Inn and Schärding to Egglfing, and then returns. This makes it easy to distinguish between a themed trail along the embankment and a cycling tour through several named places.
Meierhof, the history of the diocese and architectural landmarks
Egglfing developed from an isolated farmstead called Meierhof, which was the seat of a “major domus.” After it was donated in 781, Egglfing remained in the possession of the Diocese of Passau for almost 1,000 years, with only brief interruptions. This long period gives the village’s history a clear historical framework: the Meierhof represents the settlement’s origins, while the donation marks the beginning of an affiliation that lasted for many centuries.
Another historical site is St. Michael’s Church in Egglfing. Its late Gothic choir and tower date from the 15th century; the tower dome was first installed in the summer of 1725. Another architectural landmark is the Pockinger Heide signpost: in 1978, it was fitted with the copper roof that is still visible from afar today. The dates put these details in chronological context, while the different structures offer their own points of reference for exploring local history.

The Bad Füssing spa orchestra’s repertoire includes opera, operetta and classical music, including works by Mozart and Haydn, as well as more modern tunes by Gershwin and well-known musicals such as “Jesus Christ Superstar.” The themes differ: Egglfing offers points of reference for local history and landscape, while Bad Füssing has its own thermal bath and cultural attractions.
