In Neumarkt-Sankt Veit, a town square shaped by history, the former St. Veit Monastery and trails through the Rott river landscape come together. You can explore the town from two perspectives: its history and opportunities to get around on foot or by bicycle. A shorter hike and two named routes add further points of interest.
Town history in the square and at the monastery
The size and layout of the town square date back to its founding by Heinrich XIII, Duke of Landshut. Its design makes the town’s founding history tangible at the square. The former Benedictine monastery of St. Veit, visible from afar, was dissolved in 1802, changed hands several times thereafter and is now used mainly as a retirement home. The two sites tell different chapters: the town square points to the town’s founding, while the monastery’s story centres on its dissolution, successive owners and present-day use.
Walking or cycling along the Rott
The Rott flows from west to east through the municipal area of Neumarkt-Sankt Veit. The path along the Rott within the municipality passes through a natural setting and is ideal for walking and cycling. For a shorter hike, consider the trail to the Steinerne BrĂĽndl. This gives you a choice between the riverside route for walks and bike rides and a shorter hike to the Steinerne BrĂĽndl.
Routes with different points of reference
Neumarkt-Sankt Veit lies on the cross-border Wolfgangweg, which runs from Regensburg to St. Wolfgang in Austria. The “Schweppermann” tour also passes through the town. Regensburg and St. Wolfgang mark the endpoints of the Wolfgangweg; for the Schweppermann tour, the key point of reference is its route through Neumarkt-Sankt Veit. The routes can therefore be distinguished by their different local connections.
Culture and nature in the wider MĂĽhldorf Am Inn destination
Mühldorf Am Inn, the wider destination, also offers its own cultural and historical attractions. The 500-metre-long town square in Mühldorf a. Inn is lined with colourful façades in the Inn-Salzach architectural style. The square is home to the Salzburg High Fountain, a gift from Salzburg Prince-Archbishop Johannes Ernst von Thun in 1692. The two “Traidkästen”, Haberkasten and Kornkasten, were built as grain stores in the 15th century, with a courtyard between them. Haberkasten was later converted into a cultural centre. Since 1999, the courtyard has hosted the summer festival every year during the first two weeks of July.
The Mühldorf a. Inn History Centre and Museum has its own thematic focus: the permanent exhibition “Everyday Life, Armaments, Extermination” presents the history of Mühldorf district during the Nazi era. The “Lifeline Inn” exhibition explores how people have lived with the river and how it is managed today. This means the wider destination offers everything from urban architecture and building history to engagement with regional history and the Inn.
Another way to experience MĂĽhldorf Am Inn is the Innaue Nature Experience Trail. It features eleven interactive stations and connects the town of MĂĽhldorf a. Inn with the local recreation area south of the Inn. The trail is a circular route, nature trail and walking path, and is suitable for pushchairs and families.
