The Biendl-Weiher is located just outside Vohburg and is a popular local recreation area, especially on hot summer days when the cool water invites you in and hardly anyone can sit still on the shore. The lake can be easily planned as an intermediate stop or destination on a bike tour along the Danube. Before visiting, it is worth taking a brief look at the current water quality reports from the Pfaffenhofen district. After heavy rainfall, temporary restrictions may occasionally occur.

The old Danube water near Neustadt an der Donau is a fascinating example of how nature and cultural landscape intertwine along a large river. These are former Danube river loops that were cut off from the main current by natural shifts or human interventions (such as the Danube regulation).

In the middle of the city there are two large churches right next to each other - and the third one is on top of the castle!
