Traditional club festival with football tournament, folk music, and amusement park in the Bavarian Forest
Achslach is a small municipality in the Regen district, located in the heart of the Bavarian Forest near the Czech border and the National Park. SV Achslach e.V. is the central club of the town and has been organizing the sports and summer festival for decades – a festival that is considered a reliable summer event in the ARBERLAND tourism region (Regen district).
The combination of a sporting event and a folk festival is characteristic: A small-sided football tournament is held during the festival weekend, with local amateur teams and club teams from neighboring towns participating. In parallel, the festival tent opens with folk music bands, along with a children's carousel, shooting gallery, and snack stands.
The musical program follows the Bavarian tavern and folk music tradition: Bands like De Bergratzn, the Stoapfälzer Spitzbuam, the Grenzland-Duo, and the Hinterwaidler provide dancing and atmosphere in the festival tent. Local brass bands also perform regularly. The repertoire ranges from folk music and Schlager to party classics.
Achslach belongs to the ARBERLAND holiday region, centered around the Großer Arber, the highest peak in Lower Bavaria. Those who wish to extend their festival weekend will find numerous hiking opportunities in the Bavarian Forest, the National Park, the Hans-Eisenmann-Haus, and breweries such as the Falkensteiner Hofbrauerei. The summer festival is easily integrated into a weekend trip.
The 52nd edition of the SV Achslach Sport and Summer Festival runs from Friday, June 26, to Sunday, June 28, 2026. The Old Sports Field in Achslach will once again become the festival arena in the Bavarian Forest.
As every year, the festival tent with live music, the small-sided football tournament, the amusement park, and culinary stands are at the center of the event. The festival weekend coincides with the start of the Bavarian summer school holiday season and attracts guests from Achslach, Regen, Viechtach, and the entire ARBERLAND region.
The exact band lineup for 2026 will be published in the spring on the municipal website achslach.de.
