Discover Neuching: Christkindlmarkt and Lüßer Weiher

Neuching offers two clearly different starting points for planning your trip: the Christkindlmarkt in December and the municipal bathing pond, Lüßer Weiher. If you are looking for a hotel in Neuching, first consider whether the market or a visit to the pond is the reason for your trip. At the pond, you can make the bathing area or a walk around the lake the focus of your plans.

Christkindlmarkt and Christmas play

The Christkindlmarkt has been held in December for several years and features musical, culinary, and artistic offerings. Check the specific event dates before choosing your travel dates. Every two years, the Neichinger Brettlhupfa perform a Christmas play at the Christkindlmarkt in Oberneuching. If this particular performance is part of your reason for travelling, take the two-year cycle into account and check your preferred stay against the specific date. This will help you distinguish between a general visit to the market and planning specifically around the Christmas play.

At Lüßer Weiher

During the renovation of the municipal bathing pond, Lüßer Weiher, in spring 2012, a new sunbathing lawn was added. Mown meadow paths and benches allow you to walk around the lake. This gives you two specific reasons to visit: the sunbathing lawn created during the renovation at the time, and the walk along the water. Information about the paths and benches may change, so check the current conditions before your visit.

Culture and markets in the wider Erding destination

In the wider Erding destination, the Erdinger Bauernhausmuseum presents the historic rural economy and way of life of the 19th and early 20th centuries. It comprises 15 historic buildings relocated there from the Erding district. This brings together an account of rural life in the past and a collection of historic buildings from the district.

The farmers’ market on the Bauernhausmuseum grounds is open every Friday from 12:00 to 16:30. Farmers from the Erding district offer regional and seasonal goods as well as food there. The market and museum offer different experiences: one focuses on shopping for goods and food, the other on historic rural life and economic practices. Market hours and offerings may change, so check the current details before your visit.

Another cultural and historical highlight in Erding is the former home and studio of Franz Xaver Stahl. It is furnished with historic furniture; the Biedermeier house dates from around 1840. The former studio has remained unchanged since his death. Unlike the Bauernhausmuseum, with its 15 relocated historic buildings, this attraction focuses on a single home and studio.

Town tower and routes in Erding

A guided tour of the town tower takes you to one of the oldest buildings in the city of Erding. After 163 steps, the tour reaches a height of 35 metres. From there, the view extends across Erding and the surrounding area to Munich, and, in Föhn conditions, as far as the Alps. The number of steps, the height, and the view described give you specific details to help plan a town tower tour.

The routes in Erding also vary in length and time required. The hiking trails are between 5.9 and 15 kilometres long, with estimated walking times ranging from one and a half to five hours. By comparison, the themed trails take around one hour and lead through the old town, neighbourhoods, or in the footsteps of painters. There are also more than 28 varied and well-signposted cycling tours in the Erding district.
