Waldkirchen

Built around a medieval market on the Goldener Steig salt-trading route, Waldkirchen grew into a small town in Bavaria’s eastern uplands. On the southern edge of the Bavarian Forest, it stands near the Czech border in the historic Abteiland area. Waldkirchen received market rights in 1285, while the Goldener Steig once carried salt from Passau towards Bohemia and made the settlement part of an important trading network. Its compact centre and wooded surroundings provide a quieter introduction to Lower Bavaria beyond the Danube cities.
