    Away from the highway and well-trodden tourist paths, you will drive through small towns from Munich to Nuremberg. There are castles and parks to discover along the way. The asparagus town of Schrobenhausen not only offers asparagus in spring. It also has a well-preserved city wall and old town. Baroque art awaits you in the Asam Church at Sandizell Castle. The town of Neuburg on the Danube with its magnificent castle invites you to take a walk. After so much cultural enjoyment, culinary delights should not be neglected. In Weißenburg you have the choice of several cafés and restaurants for a rest. At the Großer Brombachsee you can see the high recreational value of artificially created lakes in the Franconian Lake District.

    Open Details
    Only the baroque wing with the ballroom is left of Dachau Castle. The other three wings of the castle were demolished at the beginning of the 19th century.
    Dachau Castle is located on the castle hill of Dachau. Next to Dachau Castle is the Dachau Court Garden. The short walk is worthwhile mainly because of the beautiful view of the city.
    Take your time to walk through the Hofgarten with a view of the city and the surrounding countryside. If you feel like it in the summer, there will be some time for a short tour of the castle.
    Opening hours of Dachau Castle:
    April-October: 9.00 -18.00 November-March: 10.00 -16.00 Closed on Mondays Admission is charged.
