Geographically, Ascha is located on the edge of the Bavarian Forest and thus offers an ideal starting point for outdoor activities such as hiking or cycling. The nearby Danube River also invites you to go boating or fishing.

The tourist attractions include Ascha Castle and the parish church of St. Martin with its impressive frescoes from the 17th century. Cultural highlights also include the annual folk festival and the Christmas market in winter.

Culinary specialities include hearty dishes such as pork knuckle or liver dumplings, but sweet specialities such as apple strudel should not be missed.

If it rains, a visit to one of Ascha's museums is recommended: the local history museum provides insights into the history of the region and the glass museum displays artistic glasswork from the Bavarian Forest.

Of course, the best time to visit Ascha is when the weather is good - then, for example, you can experience breathtaking landscapes on a hike through the Bavarian Forest National Park or go swimming at one of the many lakes.

All in all, Ascha is definitely worth a visit - whether for a short trip or as part of a longer trip to Germany. This travel guide will help you make the most of your stay and discover the beauty of the region.

    Der Rundweg hat aktuell folgende Problempunkte: 1. Durch die Steinbrucherweiterung im Norden wurde der Rundwanderweg weiter nach aussen verlegt und ist sehr verschmutzt/kaum begehbar. 2. Nach dem Schanzlweiher bei der Einmündung in die Wittelsbacherstr. ist die Abkürzung über den Steinachbach total zugewachsen und die Brücke über den Steinachbach eingebrochen, d.h. nicht mehr passierbar. Hier muss man, der Markierung 4 folgend, den Bereich umgehen (siehe 1 + 2 Bild).

    Wir sind den Weg spontan an einem kalten sonnigen Wintertag mit Raureif am Vormittag gegangen und uns hat die Strecke sehr gut gefallen. Schöne Wanderung durch die Natur. Wir haben ziemlich genau 1,5 Stunden gebraucht; wie angegeben. Die Ausschilderung ist wirklich gut. Wir sind danach im Landhaus Krone zum Essen eingekehrt.

    Sehr schöne Radltour (ca. 2-3 Stunden) im Grenzgebiet Böhmerwald. Teilweise auf Fernradweg 13 und Radweg ‚Furth - Rittsteig‘. Einsam und romantisch. Ich habe an einem Sonntag 10 (fahrende) Autos gezählt. Super Tour. Bis auf drei kurze Schotterweg-Abschnitte durchweg tolle Wegelchen und Strässchen...
