These historic buildings are not only architectural masterpieces but also important places of faith.

Those interested in culture will be thrilled by the many museums in Scheyern. The Hop Museum shows the history of beer brewing in Bavaria in an entertaining way, while the Museum of Man and Nature provides insights into the animal and plant world.

    Eine wunderbare, besinnliche Radlrunde, wie gemacht für einen Karsamstag. Die Tour führt zu Wallfahrtsorten, Kirchen, Kapellen, zu denen ich sonst nie hingekommen wäre. Ich bin glücklich und zurieden. RG aus RO

    Die Tour ist empfehlenswert und landschaftlich interessant. Der Hopfenanbau wird einem wirklich gut aufgezeigt. Wir waren während der Erntezeit unterwegs, vom 19.-21.09.24. Zwischendrin kommen allerdings einige ordentliche Steigungen, aber diese sind zu schaffen. Ein Teilstück - die Straße zwischen Hohenwart und Freinhausen - ist durch den starken Verkehr und die schnellen Autofahrer nicht so schön.

    Krass. Is ne kleinere Runde, zieht sich aber ganz schön hin. Hab mich teilweise echt schinden müssen. Bin kein Local und ohne GPS hätte ich die Trails niemals gefunden, bzw. mich überhaupt zurecht gefunden. Kann man durchaus machen.
