Discover Egglfing am Inn: Nature and History

Egglfing am Inn combines natural landscapes along the river with a local history that stretches from the Meierhof estate to historic buildings.

The wider destination of Bad Füssing also offers thermal baths, cycling routes and culture.

Landscape and Nature in Egglfing

The fishing educational trail on the Inn is located on the river embankment between Würding and Egglfing and was established at the initiative of the Würding Fishing Club. Its location makes it a specific point of interest for anyone interested in fishing and river landscapes. The Ramsar site lies within the Egglfing-Obernberg hydroelectric dam. Aigen Forest is situated between Würding, Egglfing and Aigen. If you are weighing up different nature-related themes, you will find distinct connections to the Inn, the Ramsar site and the forest.

Comparing Cycling Routes

One cycling tour runs from Bad Füssing via Neuhaus/Inn and Schärding to Egglfing and back. The order of places names the route’s stops; check the latest route details before setting off, as they may change. The wider destination of Bad Füssing also has the Church Cycling Route, which is over 30 kilometres long and leads to places of worship in the municipality, as well as the approximately 25-kilometre-long RadKapellenWeg through the Bad Füssing countryside. You can compare the two routes by theme and length: places of worship versus a ride through the countryside, with the RadKapellenWeg’s distance given as an approximate figure.

Local History and Buildings

Egglfing developed from an isolated farmstead called Meierhof, which was the seat of a “major domus.” Following its donation in 781, the village remained in the possession of the Diocese of Passau for almost 1,000 years, with only brief interruptions. The Meierhof marks the settlement’s origins, while the donation marks the beginning of a long history of ownership.

St. Michael’s Church in Egglfing has a late Gothic choir and tower dating from the 15th century; its tower cupola was first added in the summer of 1725. The Pockinger Heide signpost is a separate point of historical interest: its copper roof, now visible from afar, was added in 1978. The church and the signpost thus represent distinct historical landmarks.
