About Hauzenberg - presentation, information, photos and recommendations

Hauzenberg - relaxation and purely fresh air!

Hauzenberg has been state-recognised air health resort since 2002 and is located at an altitude of 546 m in the Danube forest region in the Southern Bavarian forest. The city Passau, which is definitely worth a visit, lies approx. 25 km away and the three country triangle Germany, Austria and Czech are more or less located around the corner. From the peak of the county Passau, the high Oberfrauenwald (950 m), you can enjoy a view all the way to Austria, thanks to an observation tower!

This region is the only one to find Germany's graphite, through which Hauzenberg became famous for being Germany's capital city for graphite industries. The first mines started to develop over a century ago, some are still in operation and its rocks can be found in historic buildings.

The north facing slope of the Oberfrauenwald is perfectly suitable for winter sports athletes, as differences in altitude are part of the geographic features. Within the city area there are unsteady climatic differences: When spring starts in the lower part of the area, it is still freezing in the higher parts.

Ski
The house Skigebiet am Geiersberg (approx. 5 km away from Hauzenberg) offers you three tow-lifts and 2 km of prepared pistes. Here you have a great opportunity to learn your first swings in a relaxed atmosphere. Especially, children will feel well in this clear area. The air board route is a real highlight, which you can try the trendy air board on. You can also ski under flood light, so that even in the evening you can have some fun on the piste.

Approx. 20 m away, behind the Austrian border, you can find more variety in the ski area Hochficht with its 20 km of pistes. 10 lift systems and 100% artificial snow coverage ensure a lot of ski enjoyment. The idyllic and family-friendly ski area lies in the centre of the three-country triangle and can be entered through the two valley stations Klaffer and Schwarzenberg. Not only the famous snow park lets the hearts beat faster, but also the kids park offers quite a lot of adventure!

After spending a long day in the snow diverse local bars invite you to let the day fade with traditional Bavarian dishes. The more active ones have the opportunity to enjoy the toboggan, explore the winter hiking or skate on the natural ice rink.

If the weather conditions should not allow it, a few museums can be found in the area, which present their art of craftsmanship: The weaving museum, the "Dinkelbier" brewery museum, the ceramic museum, the animal museum and even the first Bavarian schnapps museum. Otherwise you can use the indoor pool or the small tennis hall in the area.

You will find 27 km of cross-country trails surrounding Hauzenberg, which lead through the wonderful hills of the Southern Bavarian forest. A bigger choice is expecting you in the Northern centre in Breitenberg/Jägerbild, which can be reached in 12 km. A network of approx. 60 km is available to you, classic as well as skating cross-country trails, including the 2.5 km long competition tracks, where experts can test their limits.

The cross-country centre Mauth-Finsterau (approx. 20 km away) offers over 100 km of well prepared cross-country ski trails. Some of them even go all the way to the Czech Republic. So: Get up and jump on the slim boards!
