Fürstenfeldbruck: Monastery, Mill and Moor

When planning a trip to Fürstenfeldbruck, there are several themes to explore: the Fürstenfeld monastery grounds with its church, museum and event forum; Furth Mill in Egenhofen; and Haspelmoor. The Fürstenfeldbruck district offers a wide range of walking and cycling routes. The options range from Baroque architecture and monastic history to milling technology and tours through the countryside.

Monastery grounds: architecture, museum and events

The Fürstenfeld monastery grounds are home to the abbey church of the Assumption of Mary, considered one of the country’s most magnificent Baroque churches. The Fürstenfeldbruck Museum is housed in the former monastery brewery and explores, among other things, the work of the “white monks” of the Cistercian order. The church and museum offer different perspectives: the church represents Baroque architecture, while the museum looks at the Cistercian order and its work.

The Fürstenfeld Event Forum hosts markets, trade fairs and balls, as well as performances ranging from early music and the Piano Summer Festival to blues, jazz, dance, shows and cabaret. Individual events change, so check which dates fall within your travel period. There are 800 accessible, free parking spaces at the monastery grounds. Check this parking information before setting off.

Furth Mill: milling technology and planning your visit

Near Egenhofen, Furth Mill preserves its grain-milling and sawmill machinery in its original, working condition. The surviving equipment brings the area’s milling and sawmilling heritage to life. A cycling route leads to Furth Mill; the industrial heritage site can be visited by groups with advance registration. If you plan a visit, make sure to register in advance.

The mill shop offers its products to visitors year-round. It is open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. If you plan to visit the shop, check its opening hours beforehand.

Haspelmoor and tours in the district

A signposted circular trail through Haspelmoor starts at Haspelmoor railway station. The starting point is therefore clearly identified; local trail conditions can change, so it is advisable to check for updates before setting off. A cycling tour to Haspelmoor described in 2023 follows quiet routes through villages, fields and wooded areas. Check current route information before your ride.

The two options differ in how they are planned: the railway station at Haspelmoor is named as the starting point for the circular trail, while the cycling tour is characterized by its route through villages, fields and wooded areas. Together with the wide range of walking and cycling routes in the district, these options offer different ways to spend time outdoors.

Plan your accommodation around the purpose of your trip

If you are looking for a hotel in Fürstenfeldbruck, first decide what the main purpose of your stay will be. If you are attending a market, trade fair or performance, the relevant event date is important; for a tour, you can choose the dates to suit your own plans.
