Neuburg-Schrobenhausen

Neuburg-Schrobenhausen is a rural district in Upper Bavaria that spreads across rolling countryside between the Danube and Paar rivers. The area offers varied cycling routes through nature reserves, wetland areas, and villages with medieval town centers.

The district was formed in 1972 through the merging of two older counties, though the individual towns have much older origins. Neuburg town itself has centuries of history as a seat of local rulers.

Neuburg Castle holds an important collection of Flemish Baroque paintings gathered by art-loving dukes over centuries. Visitors can also see the chapel, which was built as one of the first Protestant places of worship designed for this purpose in Europe.

Bring comfortable clothing and a bicycle, as the region is best explored on two wheels through its connected networks. The Haus im Moos environmental center provides information about the wetland landscape and is a worthwhile stop for nature lovers.

Schrobenhausen is known year-round for its asparagus growing, and the harvest shapes local life from spring through early summer with special celebrations. Fresh-picked asparagus appears everywhere in restaurants and markets during these months.
