The Dreisessel Area in the Bavarian Forest
Neureichenau is located in the southeastern Bavarian Forest, in the district of Freyung-Grafenau, directly on the border triangle of Germany–Austria–Czech Republic. Above the village towers the Dreisessel (1,333 m), one of the most famous granite rocks in the Bavarian Forest, with a mountain hut, hiking trails, and a magnificent panorama stretching to the Alps. The region is considered one of the most beautiful mid-mountain sports areas in Germany.
Tag des Sports — Quälspass am Dreisessel
The Tag des Sports is the annual major event of the Dreisessel community Neureichenau and the surrounding clubs. Under the tongue-in-cheek motto 'Quälspass am Dreisessel' (roughly translated as 'Painful Fun at Dreisessel'), the event combines several competition formats on the route from the village up to the Dreisesselhaus and back. The focus is on the mountain run, supplemented by mountain bike tours, Nordic walking, a children's obstacle course between Dreisesselhaus and Hochstein, and the spectacular Race Night in the village late in the afternoon.
The Disciplines
- Mountain Run — Start at 12 PM in the center of Neureichenau, finish at the Dreisessel. For runners.
- Nordic Walking — same route as the mountain run.
- Mountain Bike — own MTB route up to the summit, separately marked.
- Children's Obstacle Course — between Dreisesselhaus and Hochstein, 12 PM to 2:30 PM.
- Kids Race — Start at 4 PM for the younger athletes.
- Race Night — evening sprint in the village center starting at 6 PM, bib pickup 4:30 PM at the Town Hall, award ceremony 8:30 PM at the village square.
Atmosphere and Catering
At the village square, the longest beer bar in Bavaria (as self-proclaimed by the organizers) provides refreshments. Live bands play before and after the Race Night, and an after-race party keeps the mood going late into the evening. Dishes from Bavarian Forest inn cuisine, Bavarian Forest beer, and Tyrolean specialties are offered.
Solidarity — Schutzhaus Dreisessel
Several euros from each entry fee go to the Friends of Schutzhaus Dreisessel Association, which supports the renovation of the historic mountain hut on the summit. An additional euro is contributed by the Neureichenau Business Association.
