Culture in the Municipality of Wildenberg

The parish church of St. Andrew stands in Pürkwang, a village belonging to the municipality of Wildenberg. The late Gothic church is built of red brick; its 46-metre-high tower is visible from far away. The municipality counts St. Andrew’s among its attractions. It also lists Wildenberg Castle as a landmark and attraction. The church architecture and the castle thus stand side by side as distinct cultural points of interest: the church’s design, materials and tower height shape its tangible impression, while the castle is highlighted as a landmark of the municipality.

Further Destinations in the Wider Kelheim Travel Destination

The southern part, including Abensberg, Neustadt an der Donau, Biburg, Rohr in Niederbayern and Mainburg, is part of the Hallertau, considered the world’s largest contiguous hop-growing region. The regional overview therefore features both nature-park and hop-growing themes.

The “Weltenburger Enge, Hirschberg and Altmühlleiten” nature reserve in Kelheim encompasses the unique Danube Gorge. There are eleven hiking trails in the Weltenburger Enge nature reserve. A 13-kilometre hike leads from Essing via the Tatzlwurm, past the Klausen caves and along the Celtic rampart to the Danube Gorge. The distance and named waypoints offer concrete guidance when choosing a hike in the region.
