Discover Neuburg a.d.Kammel

Neuburg a.d.Kammel offers specific themes for your stay: historic buildings and sacred art, as well as nature and cycling routes. The wider destination of Günzburg also offers other leisure, culture and nature experiences.

Castle, Art and Chapels in Neuburg

Neuburg Castle was built between 1562 and 1567. In the parish church of the Assumption of Mary, the Descent from the Cross group created by Christoph Rodt around 1628 is a notable feature. The Leprosy Chapel on Bahnhofstraße dates from around 1883; the Lourdes Grotto was built between Neuburg and Halbertshofen in 1992/93. Together, these dates span the period from the 16th century to the end of the 20th century. The castle, church art and the two chapel sites offer different ways to explore local history.

Landscape and Cycling Routes

An avenue of stone lindens runs along the eastern and southern slopes of the castle hill on the so-called Platte. The Three Valleys Tour around Neuburg leads through gently rolling hills, colorful orchards, centuries-old stands of trees and the river valleys of the Kammel, Günz and Haselbach. The named avenue, hills, orchards and river valleys are all part of the local natural landscape.

For cyclists, the market town of Neuburg’s connection to the regional cycling network is a separate planning consideration: it is via the Kammel and Günz Valley cycle routes. The Three Valleys Tour showcases the landscape, while the cycle routes provide the connection to the wider network. Check current trail conditions before setting out. This lets you plan around nature and cycling while keeping the two aspects distinct.

In the Wider Destination of Günzburg

The wider destination of Günzburg offers additional travel experiences at separate locations. Turncable Wakepark in Thannhausen offers wakeboarding and water skiing. Its courses are for beginners and advanced participants, as well as individuals and groups. LEGOLAND® Deutschland in Günzburg has 11 themed worlds and 68 attractions. The theme park and adjoining holiday village offer experiences for children between the ages of 2 and 12. This means a water sports venue and a theme park provide different focal points alongside Neuburg’s cultural and nature experiences. Check Turncable’s operating days and course availability, as well as LEGOLAND’s current operating details, before planning to visit.

The routes in the wider destination of Günzburg also differ in their layout. The DonAuwald Hiking Trail is the first premium hiking trail in Bavarian Swabia and runs for around 60 kilometers between Günzburg and Schwenningen. The DonauHänge is an 18.5-kilometer circular trail between Günzburg and Offingen through hillside woodland. So one route runs between two towns, while the other is a loop. Check current trail conditions before setting out.

Culture enthusiasts can explore the development of the school system over thousands of years at the Bavarian School Museum in Ichenhausen. Its historic classroom once accommodated around 50 children. The Museum of the City of Burgau presents the town’s history from the Middle Ages to the recent past across two floors and more than 700 square meters. Their focuses are clearly distinct: the museum in Ichenhausen centers on school history and a historic classroom, while the one in Burgau covers the town’s history over a long period. Check the museums’ current opening details before visiting.
