Discover Neuhaus a.Inn

Cycling routes for different kinds of tours

The Rottal Cycle Route runs for 87 km from Neuhaus am Inn to Neumarkt-St. Veit. If you come from Passau via the Inn Valley Cycle Route, Neuhaus a.Inn connects you to the Rottal cycle route. This brings together two named routes here: the route from Passau and the connection that starts in Neuhaus and runs to Neumarkt-St. Veit.

The Apple Cycling Route offers a different kind of tour: it is a circular route that can be started in any town. Neuhaus a.Inn is considered an ideal starting point for the tour through the southern district of Passau. If you would rather plan a loop than a route between two named places, this distinction is a useful guide. The circular tour lets you choose your starting point; by contrast, the Rottal Cycle Route description specifies a route from Neuhaus am Inn to Neumarkt-St. Veit.

In the municipality of Neuhaus a.Inn, 150 km of well-maintained cycling and hiking trails run through floodplain areas and wide fields of the Lower Inn European Reserve. This landscape gives the trails their own character: floodplains and open fields are part of the scenery, alongside cycling and hiking. When planning your vacation, you can therefore decide whether to focus on individual named cycling tours or the wider network of trails in the municipality.

Discover churches and history

In Vornbach, the former monastery church is now the Catholic parish church of the Assumption of Mary. It houses the restored Egedacher organ from 1732. It is the oldest Baroque organ in Lower Bavaria and one of the most significant instruments in the Danube region. The former Benedictine abbey in Vornbach gained importance through its scriptorium and the church music cultivated there. The former monastic history and a significant organ are thus directly connected at this site.

Artistic depictions beyond the church also recall Vornbach’s history: the village square and the viewing platform near the parish church on the Inn feature figures who shaped the historic village. If you are interested in local history, you can include these memorial sites in your travel plans alongside the former monastery church.

Mittich has a single-nave Gothic parish church with a net vault and carved keystones. It is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary. The two side altars feature two Gothic panels depicting the Virgin and Child and the Man of Sorrows. These details give culturally minded travelers specific features to look for during a visit to the church. Mittich thus adds another discovery of the municipality’s church history to the impressions from Vornbach.

Neuhaus Castle was built in the 14th century by the Bavarian dukes on a rock to protect the Inn bridge near Schärding. The Old Inn Bridge connects Neuhaus a.Inn directly with Schärding and has significant historical value. The castle and bridge tell of the importance of the crossing over the Inn in different ways: the castle was built to protect it, while the bridge connects the two towns.

Your planned activities can help you choose a holiday apartment. If you want to ride the Apple Cycling Route, Neuhaus a.Inn is named as a starting point for the circular tour.
