Discover Meggenhofen: Theatre, Nature and the Landl Rally

When looking for a hotel in Meggenhofen, you can plan your stay around culture, nature, a hike or an event date. Highlights include the Meggenhofen Theatre, the natur.spiel.park and the Landl Rally. The parish church of St Martin and two different hiking trails round out the area. Meggenhofen has a central location and good transport links.

Historic setting and architectural history

Meggenhofen Theatre is housed in a 450-year-old farmhouse. The former Kircheckerhof was converted into one of Upper Austria’s first open-air theatres in 1968 by its owner, Grete Payrhuber, and the municipality of Meggenhofen. The history of the farmhouse and its later cultural use thus come together in one place. If you are interested in culture, this history offers a specific point of reference for understanding the theatre venue in the context of its origins.

The parish church of St Martin provides another historical landmark. It is a Late Gothic building, probably dating from the 14th or 15th century. Compared with the theatre’s history, the church offers an earlier point of reference: its origins are placed within this two-century period, while the former Kircheckerhof was converted into an open-air theatre in 1968. In this way, a probable construction period and a dated milestone in the theatre’s history stand side by side.

Nature and trails

The natur.spiel.park combines play and recreation, while also offering the chance to experience nature at close quarters. The park features a willow labyrinth, a small observation tower and a fish ladder that runs through the entire park. If you are looking for a nature- and play-focused activity during your stay, you can include the park as a destination in its own right.

The hiking trails also offer different points of reference. The Wildhagerweg is 2.50 km long; the Theaterweg leads to Meggenhofen. The distinction is simple: the Wildhagerweg has a specified length, while the Theaterweg has a named destination. You can choose based on whether a specific trail length or a connection to a destination is more important for your plans.

The Landl Rally as a reason to travel

The Landl Rally can be a reason to travel in its own right. It has been held since 1989 and covers a route of around 100 kilometres through the Landl region. Every year, up to 1,000 vintage cars can be viewed over three days in August around the parish rectory. The event thus combines a route through the Landl with the opportunity to see vintage cars around the parish rectory. If you are planning your trip around the rally, check the dates for the specific edition, as dates and visitor numbers can vary.

Plan your travel dates and hotel search

Meggenhofen’s central location and good transport links can help guide your choice of where to stay. Transport conditions can change, so check the latest connections for your travel dates. For other stays, the theatre’s history, the park and the hiking trails may be deciding factors. This lets you match your hotel search to the reason for your trip without limiting your stay to a single theme.
