Culture in the wider Neuburg-Schrobenhausen destination

Neuburg Residence Palace is a major early Renaissance complex. Count Palatine Ottheinrich had it built between 1530 and 1545. The palace chapel is one of the oldest Protestant church buildings in the world; its frescoes were painted by Hans Bocksberger in 1543.

At the Residence Palace, you can explore architectural history and church art as distinct cultural points of interest: construction took place between 1530 and 1545, while the chapel’s frescoes are specifically dated to 1543. Grünau Hunting Lodge is another point of interest in the wider destination and is considered a fine example of early Renaissance architecture. Together, these sites offer different ways to explore the period.

Landscape and nature in Neuburg-Schrobenhausen

The landscape of the Neuburg-Schrobenhausen region ranges from unusual rock formations in the north, through the Danube floodplain forest and the Donaumoos with its deep-black soil, to the distinctive asparagus fields of the Schrobenhausen region in the south. This variety reflects the different landscapes that shape the wider destination.

The Antoniberg is another natural highlight and is protected as a nature monument in its entirety. An impressive avenue of old lime trees leads up the hill to a viewpoint overlooking the Danube and the surrounding floodplains. The Antoniberg is also home to the “Durchblick” installation, built in 2015. It reveals the exact location of a Roman-built Danube bridge whose remains were discovered in the riverbed. The bridge was 500 meters long.

The wet meadows in the ground-nesting bird conservation areas of the Donaumoos and the Paartal are also important habitats. They are home to the Eurasian curlew, northern lapwing, meadow pipit, corn bunting, whinchat, corncrake, and common snipe. The natural landscape therefore extends from the river and its floodplains to the wet meadows and their birdlife.

Cycling and guided discoveries

If you’d like to explore the region by bike, the Danube Cycle Path offers a clearly defined route: 63 kilometers of it run through the Neuburg-Schrobenhausen district, from Donauwörth to Ingolstadt. Temporary diversions may be in place, so it’s a good idea to check the route before setting out.
