Ökoregion Kaindorf Hop Tour
OpenThe tour through the Kaindorf ecoregion is named after a private brewery on the route. We can also visit this brewery (guided tour and tasting). There is also an organic fruit farm on the route, as well as Obermayerhofen Castle. As the circular route runs mostly off the main road, it is characterised by a quiet and pleasant route that is also ideally suited for families. Numerous refreshment stops and supermarkets are located on the tour.
