Sonnen

Travel Guide

Enjoy exciting days during your city trip to Sonnen, located on a gentle hill in the national park Bavarian Forest with many hiking paths through hill moors and forests.

Sonnen is an officially recognized health resort, the municipality at the highest altitude in the district of Passau in the Wegscheider Land region, approximately 20 miles to the east of the three-river city Passau. Find some relaxationduring your city trip to Sonnen, one of the sunniest places in the region. Sonnen was first mentioned in records in the 12th century and consists of numerous smaller villages. The guildhall and tourist information is located in the central district of Sonnen with its 447 inhabitants. Theparish church Maria Himmelfahrt (Ascension) was built from 1858 to 1861 and dominates the appearance of the core village to this day. The district Schauberg lies on the Wegscheider Hochfläche plateau at an altitude of approx. 770 yards. While travelling to Sonnen, enjoy beautiful views of the Geiersberg and Ruhmannsberg mountains from here. The airfield Sonnen is located in proximity to the district Oberneureuth. While on your city trip, start on asightseeing flight over the national parkfrom here. Niederneureuth is located in the southwest of the municipality and impresses with an industrial area with many small craft businesses.

Enjoy the primal nature of the Hochmoor "Wilde Aue" while on your short trip to Sonnen. The hill moor lies at an altitude of 870 yards and is the last of its kind to the south of the Arber mountain. While strolling through the ruggedly picturesque landscape, you will come across rare plants such as heather, cow wheat or crowberries.

Be sure to go for a hike on thePlanet Hiking Pathwhile on a mini-break in Sonnen. The path starts at the sun model close to the guildhall. On a scale of 1:1 billion, you can walk across our solar system on a length of 4.2 miles. You will encounter models of all planets, including Pluto which is located at the look-out tower in Oberfrauenwald.

After long hikes through the hills of the Bavarian Forest, find some relaxation at theHealth Centre Sonnen. Spoil your muscles in the sauna area or enjoy an aroma vapour bath with starry skies above.

On hot summer days, refresh yourself with a dip into the cool waters of thebathing pond. The constitutional water of this outdoor swimming pool, which is freely accessible, comes from the near hill moor. Apart from large sun lawns, visitors will find a Kneipp water-treading basin, changing cubicles and a snack bar.

On the edge of the city of Sonnen, theHK Sunwood riding facility, built in 1999, awaits. Take some riding lessons or go for adventurous rides throughout the Bavarian Forest.
