Due to the falling number of pupils, the elementary school was closed from the 2006/07 school year and converted into a secondary school. The primary school students are then distributed among the primary schools in Spiegelau and Neuschönau, who in return send their secondary school students to Riedlhütte.

traffic

The municipality is only connected to the regional traffic system by district roads.

Originally it was planned to lay the Zwiesel – Grafenau railway line through the municipality. Due to the resistance of the Grafenau city population, who wanted a train station close to the center, the railway line was rescheduled. This now runs past the community through the neighboring communities Spiegelau and Grafenau.

The community is connected to Grafenau by a bus line operated by the RBO bus company . In addition, two other bus routes, the so-called " Igelbusse " , operate between May and November. There is also a ski bus service during the Christmas and Carnival holidays.

The Bayerwald-Ticket is valid in the municipality of Sankt Oswald-Riedlhütte .
