The present Catholic parish church of St. Stephen is a late Gothic brick building with a recessed choir, an attached sacristy, and a spindle-shaped tower dating from around 1500. The tower superstructure was remodeled in Baroque style by Erding's master mason, Anton Kogler, after lightning damage in 1701. The nave of the church was expanded in 1911. The neo-Gothic interior of the church was modernized in 1962. (wikipedia)

The Vilstal cycle path between Eibach and Dorfen is an asphalted path that is suitable for pedestrians and cyclists. The route is in very good condition throughout and is perfectly suitable for running. At kilometer 2.5 there is a wooden bridge that has no transition to the asphalt, so this is not a problem either. Every 500 meters there is a sign on the side (right side from the direction of Dorfen) with kilometer information. From the direction of Dorfen it is almost entirely uphill to Eibach, or flat. There is no real downhill section in the direction of Eibach. The photos were taken on the way from Eibach to Dorfen.

The Vilstal cycle path between the Flutkanal road and the Mühlangerstraße is smooth and has a bridge over the Isen. The transitions between the road and the bridge are a little uneven, but this should not normally cause any problems.

The Vilstal cycle path between Gartenstrasse and Flutkanal is characterized by a smooth surface and the bridge over the flood canal. There is a very small step at the transitions from the path to the bridge, but this should not normally cause any problems.

The start of the Vilstal cycle path from Dorfen train station in the direction of Taufkirchen (Vils) and Velden. The surface is very good and smooth and therefore very suitable as a running route. The route slopes slightly towards Gartenstrasse and is therefore a good starting point. The route is shared with cyclists and other pedestrians and can be "narrow" at weekends.
