Hinterzhof: Kirta Festival, Art and Canoe Trips

Hinterzhof offers several different points of interest for your trip: the annual Hinterzhof Kirta, exhibitions at the Müller-Stodl and canoe trips that can be booked through Erlebnismax. The Müller-Stodl is an exhibition barn built in 1867 on a farm in the Upper Palatinate style. The options therefore range from a recurring festival to art and architectural history, as well as an activity on the water.

The Hinterzhof Kirta: a date that changes

The Klopferclub Hinterzhof organizes the Hinterzhof Kirta every year. Its date varies from year to year, so check the date of the edition you want to attend before finalizing your trip. The 2023 edition was well attended. The Kirta calls for a different kind of planning than the other things to do in Hinterzhof: your stay depends on the event date, while art and canoe trips offer different priorities.

Müller-Stodl: architectural history and art

The Müller-Stodl in Hinterzhof is an exhibition barn built in 1867 and part of a farm in the Upper Palatinate style. Its architectural history and use as an exhibition venue come together in this place.

The Laaber Artists’ Circle organizes exhibitions at the Müller-Stodl and provides a platform for regional artists. The artists’ circle showcases a range of art forms, including paintings, sculptures, collages, installations and videos. For art lovers, this combines a historic building with an event program featuring a variety of artistic expressions. If you want to visit the Müller-Stodl for its art, check the program for your travel dates.
