Witzmannsberg is located on the edge of the Bavarian Forest and is surrounded by picturesque hills and green meadows. The region is known for its idyllic landscape with numerous hiking and cycling trails. A highlight are the panoramic views of the Danube valley from the observation tower at the top of the Brotjacklriegel or from the Dreiflüsse-Eck.

For culture lovers, Witzmannsberg offers a variety of interesting places such as the Engelszell monastery - where Austria's only Trappist beer is brewed -, the Schlägl monastery with its impressive baroque church or the Museum of Modern Art in Passau.

A variety of events take place in the region throughout the year: In the summer, for example, the folk festival in Vilshofen or the Bad Kötzting Forest Festival beckon, while traditional Christmas markets can be visited in the winter. Sporting events such as the three-country marathon or skiing competitions also attract many visitors every year.

The regional cuisine also has a lot to offer: Enjoy hearty specialities such as pork knuckle or liver dumpling soup in the cosy inns in the area. If you like it sweet, you should definitely try the famous Passauer Batzen - a kind of doughnut with jam filling.

Even when the weather is bad, there is plenty to do in Witzmannsberg: Visit the "Peb" adventure pool in Passau, for example, or take a trip to nearby Regensburg.
