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.
