May 26, 2026, Forest Path in Upper Bavaria

Turn off the main path at this hiking parking lot and follow the hiking trail to Mitterbachel: it's worth it, many exotic trees are picturesquely planted there around two small forest ponds. Always worth a detour..

Neuburg an der Donau is a large district town and the seat of the district administration of the Upper Bavarian district of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen. For centuries, Neuburg was the royal residence of the Duchy of Palatinate-Neuburg, a fact reflected in its architecture to this day.
