At Triftern’s swimming area, swimming pools, sports facilities, mini golf, and a playground come together. The Old Post House adds a historic building complex to the picture of the town. When choosing accommodation, it is worth distinguishing these local attractions from the additional offerings across the wider Rottal-Inn destination.
Swimming area: water and sports in one location
Triftern’s swimming area has a 25-meter swimming pool, a non-swimmer pool, and a paddling pool. The grounds also include two tennis courts, a volleyball court, a soccer field, and a skate park. An 18-hole mini golf course and a children’s playground round out the options. The facilities at the swimming area cater to different interests: swimming, ball sports, skating, and mini golf each offer a distinct focus. Opening hours depend on the season and weather. Check the current conditions before your visit; we recommend asking locally about the availability of the sports facilities.
Local history between market rights and the Old Post House
The Old Post House in Triftern is a complex of buildings dating from the late 18th century. Once a spacious inn, it included numerous guest rooms, a bowling alley, and a large barn. Triftern was granted market rights as early as 1388. Those interested in the town’s history can explore two distinct periods: its medieval market rights and the complex dating from the late 18th century. The Old Post House’s former use as an inn is a separate part of its history.
There is also a local mobility option for practical planning: a mikar car-sharing vehicle is parked in front of the town hall and can be booked after registering with mikar. Availability and registration requirements may change. Check the current conditions with mikar in advance.
Kaser Stone Fields in the surrounding area
The Kaser Stone Fields are located south of Triftern, between Voglarn and Osten. The block stream there extends for more than 100 meters and is up to 20 meters wide. This adds a landscape attraction to the swimming area and local history. If you are planning a visit to the Kaser Stone Fields, check local conditions before setting out.
More to explore across the wider Rottal-Inn destination

Culture enthusiasts will also find plenty to explore in Rottal-Inn. Each year, Theater an der Rott stages premieres in drama, musical theater, concerts, dance, operetta, and opera; individual productions vary. It is the only theater in Germany owned by a rural district. The “Gothic Tours” showcase selected Gothic monuments to residents and visitors. Brochures, maps, the tour portal, and the Gothic portal help visitors find their way.
