Living culture
The village-like charm is everywhere in Peiting. This is largely due to the many traditions that are still upheld today allowing you to experience the old way of life. It´s the Peitinger themselves that bring the romantic appearance of the town to life through numerous activities, festivals and events like the Farmers´market, which takes place once a month and features produce and goods from the local farmers, or the "Gumpen-Serenade" where local musical groups present their talents. You can also find craftsmen in traditional occupations that aren´t practiced in many places anymore, or explore the "Klösterle-Museum" with its interesting and varied exhibits. Experience it yourself!

Surrounded by art beauty
In the last millenium monks and nuns, the "Pfaffen", settled in this "schönen Winkel" (beautiful corner) giving the area its name "Pfaffenwinkel", and Peiting is located in the heart of it. Mountains, sky, lakes, meadows, forests and friendly people- it´s almost heaven.
The pride of Pfaffenwinkel is the world famous Wieskirche ("church in the meadow") right outside of Peiting. Dominikus Zimmermann built this architectural jewel from 1745-1754. Zimmermann´s family came from Birkland in Peiting where he built one of his first architectural works of art with the St.Anna church. Come feel what makes Pfaffenwinkel so special, and you will understand why the Pfaffen chose to make it their home. Come enjoy some of the almost 2000 hours of sunshine a year and the foehnwind, the warm wind stream from Upper-Italy, and you will know what makes Peiting in Pfaffenwinkel so unique.

To tell you about all the oportunities in and around Peiting would take too much space.
