Varied circuit over the LabertalThe scenic meadow ridge of the Kreuzberg and the picturesque Labertal shape the landscape of Deining. The old town center is located in the middle of the beautiful valley of the Weiße Laber, which offers little space here, so the new development areas are located on the plateau above. Highlights of the circular hike include the scenic Kreuzberg and sections of the railway path, which beautifully crosses the rolling terrain between Deining and the station.

Through lonely forests into the dreamlike Lengenbach ValleyAt the southern edge of Neumarkt, extensive commercial settlements shape the landscape, but right next to it, pure nature delights. High above Neumarkt, the pilgrimage church of Mariahilf towers over mighty beeches, and right behind it, the Lengenbach Valley hides a small natural gem. A gentle meadow valley with a flooded valley floor near the pilgrimage church Maria Lengenbach and dry slopes in the upper section, with individual springs at the boundary to the underlying clay layers, with pines, rare flowers, and a rich fauna. Here you can find, besides various butterfly species, also bats that live in the roof truss of the Lengenbach church.
