Rinchnach
Experience national park, hiking, biking, horseback riding and more
Rinchnach is the oldest settlement in the central Bavarian Forest area. The village was founded in 1011 by a Benedictine monk, St. Gunther. Culture and traditions are particularly carefully preserved here. Also the architectural treasures of the village.
Rinchnach lies right in the middle of the Bavarian Forest, in a broad valley where 2 streams come together. The towns of Zwiesel and Regen as well as the Bavarian Forest National Park are close by.
The former monastery church which dominates the skyline in the village is the most beautiful baroque church in the Bavarian Forest and, together with the idyllically situated pilgrimage chapel Frauenbrünnl in the Rinchnach forest, make popular excursion destinations.
