In 2024, as every year, concerts in the Kurpark of Hauzenberg will take place in July and August. They are always worth a visit. Admission is free.
Since 2006, the "Steinwelten" - worlds of stone - in the "Granitzentrum Bayerischer Wald" in Hauzenberg have fascinated visitors with their monumental architecture, exciting productions and informative exhibitions. The stories about the granite, this cold blood of the earth, inspire children like adults, professionals and laymen alike. An abandoned quarry with a romantic lake form the grandiose backdrop for a unique architecture that forms an intimate unity with the themes and contents that are staged in the house and in a historic log break. A special experience is the "Granitweihnacht" (Christmas of granite), which takes place every year in the Advent on the grounds of the Steinwelten.
A special highlight, which should not be missed during a visit to the beautiful three-river city of Passau, is the three-river tour.
Walking in every weather and in every season! Every Wednesday, 1 pm Tourists and guests are always welcome to take part in this event together with locals.]]>
