Finsing

Skulp Tour III starts in Finsing, offering a specific cycling connection to consider when planning your trip. The municipality also includes Finsinger Weiher in Neufinsing and historical points of interest in Eicherloh. If you are looking for accommodation, you can distinguish these local themes from the cultural and trail offerings in the wider destination of Erding.

Cycling, the pond and local history

If you are including cycling in your travel plans, you can consider Finsing as the starting point for Skulp Tour III. The starting point is a concrete planning reference, while other interests point to further places in the municipality. Finsinger Weiher is located in Neufinsing. Its water surface covers 23,450 m², with sunbathing areas around it. The route start and the pond therefore offer different themes to consider when planning.

The municipality of Finsing includes Eicherloh. There, the Church of the Assumption of Mary was consecrated on 27 July 1958 by Auxiliary Bishop Dr Johannes Neuhäusler. The history of the schoolhouse also offers a distinct perspective on the village: an altar niche was incorporated during its construction in 1933/34. Once the schoolhouse was completed, services could be held there. The church and schoolhouse thus provide two different points of interest in the municipality’s history.

Culture in the wider destination of Erding

In the wider destination of Erding, the Erdinger Bauernhausmuseum presents the historical rural economy and way of life of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The museum includes 15 historic buildings relocated there from the district of Erding. A farmers’ market takes place on the museum grounds every Friday from 12:00 to 16:30. Farmers from the district of Erding offer regional and seasonal goods and food there. Market times may change; check the date before your visit.

Guided city tours in Erding give residents and visitors insight into the history of the town and its buildings. A tour of the town tower takes you to one of the town’s oldest buildings. After climbing 163 steps, you reach a height of 35 metres; from there, the view extends across Erding and the surrounding area as far as Munich, and, in föhn conditions, to the Alpine panorama.

The Franz Xaver Stahl Museum also focuses on the town’s history. The former home and studio is furnished with historical furniture. The Biedermeier house dates from around 1840, and the former studio has been preserved unchanged since the artist’s death. The house has been open to the public as a museum since 2014; check the current opening hours before your visit.
