Discover Geisenhausen: Fimbach, Via Sancti Martini and St. Theobald

In Geisenhausen, the natural features of the Fimbach, a cultural and pilgrimage route through the market area, and the pilgrimage church of St. Theobald offer something for different travel interests. Each place and route has its own focus: plants and animals by the water, a longer route, or a destination on a hill. You can plan your trip around whichever of these aspects interests you most.

Nature along the Fimbach

At the Fimbach nature experience area, information boards explain various plants and animals in and around the water. This gives the nature theme a specific focus: the boards draw attention to the stream’s habitat rather than simply naming it as a landscape feature. For travelers interested in plants and animals, this is a distinct point of interest in Geisenhausen.

Two other features also tell different stories about this natural area. In 2014, another section of the Fimbach was restored to a more natural state. In 2015, a herb trail was created at the nature experience area together with the all-day class of Geisenhausen Middle School. The restoration concerns a section of the stream, while the herb trail has its own focus on herbs. Together, these facts provide a chronological and thematic overview of the nature projects.

Routes in Geisenhausen and the wider Landshut travel destination

Since autumn 2016, the European cultural and pilgrimage route “Via Sancti Martini” has run for approximately 17 kilometers through the market area of Geisenhausen. The approximate length refers to the route through this area, providing a guide to the local section of the trail. If you include routes in your travel plans, you can combine the cultural and pilgrimage aspect here with a specific route through the market area.

In the wider Landshut travel destination, the Landshut Höhenwanderweg offers a different scale: it is around 50 kilometers long and runs through the gentle hills of Lower Bavaria. The Time Trails are themed routes through the Isar, Vils and Laaber valleys. These regional routes complement the wider Landshut travel destination; they are separate from the sites in Geisenhausen. When planning, it helps to compare the figures: the approximately 17 kilometers refers to the Via Sancti Martini through the market area, while the approximately 50 kilometers is the length of the Landshut Höhenwanderweg.

St. Theobald: Pilgrimage church and park

The pilgrimage church of St. Theobald, south of the market town of Geisenhausen, can be reached by an uphill footpath to a hilltop. The path climbs, so you can take this into account when planning a visit. The church offers a different focus from the nature-related features of the Fimbach or the longer route of the Via Sancti Martini.

A stone labyrinth and a sculpture have been created in St. Theobald Park. These features provide another cultural point of interest. Unlike the information boards by the Fimbach, which explain plants and animals, the focus here is on the labyrinth and sculpture. This makes it easy to distinguish between the themes when planning your trip, without combining them into a single route.

Plan your stay and accommodation search

When looking for accommodation in Geisenhausen, you can first decide what you would like to focus on: nature along the Fimbach, the cultural and pilgrimage route, or St. Theobald. This makes it easier to plan your trip without assuming any particular accommodation features. If the approximate route distance matters, also distinguish between the Via Sancti Martini through the market area and the longer Landshut Höhenwanderweg in the wider Landshut travel destination.
