Stubenberg can be explored through its local history and outdoor activities. A prominent landmark is the Parish and Pilgrimage Church of St. George and St. Urban; for outdoor pursuits, there is a hiking route of approximately 7 km and a cycling route of around 14 km. If you are looking for a hotel in Stubenberg, you can start planning your trip around culture, hiking or cycling.

Church, castle site and art

The Parish and Pilgrimage Church of St. George and St. Urban stands prominently on a hilltop above Stubenberg. It is Late Gothic and occupies the site of a former castle; historically, it is closely connected with Stubenberg Castle. The castle burned down in 1743. The frescoes in the church’s choir and nave were painted by Carl Johann Gasteiger. The church also contains a red marble tomb for Wolfgang Paumgartner, dated 1512. These various details offer concrete points of connection to both local and art history.

Hiking, cycling and climbing

The Marterlweg is circular hiking trail 10, approximately 7 km long, and starts at the Gasthaus Hofmark in Stubenberg. It passes the Welsches Marterl and Meindl Chapel before returning to Stubenberg. For cyclists, the Elexenauer Rundfahrt is another option: it is approximately 14 km long and runs through the rolling hills around Stubenberg. The cycling route is therefore roughly twice as long as the Marterlweg. Before setting out on a hike or bike ride, it is advisable to check current local conditions.

Another activity is offered by the Felsenlabyrinth near Kirn: climbing enthusiasts can make their way up over the rocks. The ascent follows an unpaved path. This makes it a climbing-focused activity, distinct from the two routes, whose approximate lengths and modes of travel are clearly specified.

Rottal-Inn as a broader travel destination

The broader travel destination of Rottal-Inn also has its own cultural, wellness and nature attractions. The Rottal Terme has more than 30 pleasantly warm thermal-water pools at temperatures of 26 to 40 °C, as well as 13 different saunas and steam baths. It also features a 105-metre-long thermal stream and health, prevention and wellness services. Details about the pools and saunas may change during renovations. Every year, Theater an der Rott presents premieres in drama, musicals, concerts, dance, operetta and opera; it is the only theatre in Germany owned by a district.

For Gothic monuments, the “Gothic Tours” introduce residents and tourists to selected buildings through brochures, maps, the tour portal and the Gothic Portal. The Gothic Portal offers audio guides to Gothic buildings that can be accessed on site, as well as an online museum with information, knowledge and learning resources. There is also a regional perspective on outdoor activities: the Rottal-Inn leisure region has a well-developed, extensive network of routes spanning several hundred kilometres for hikers and cyclists. The tour portal supports individual route planning with information on elevation profiles and trail surfaces, as well as GPX downloads; digital features may continue to evolve. The Inn Cycle Path runs through the Lower Inn European Nature Reserve and offers views of the region’s flora and fauna.
