Bike round Schärding-Passau-Schärding | Nature & Culture on the Inn Cycle Path

0 km Schärding. The highlight of the town is the colorful Silberzeile, where the color of each of these townhouses was assigned to a specific professional group. In addition to other urban gems and churches, there is also a city museum in Schärding (open from April to October).

1 km Neuhaus. From the Upper Town Square, head right to the Old Inn Bridge over to the German Neuhaus am Inn. Neuhaus Castle today houses a secondary school run by the English Ladies.

4 km Vornbach. After 4 km on the Inn Valley Cycle Path, you reach Vornbach. There, the church of the former Benedictine Abbey Maria Hilf (Rococo) with the nearby cemetery church St. Martin is especially worth seeing. At the height of the fire station hut, follow the cycle path again, which leads into the Neuburg Forest and to the Inn river breakthrough, the Vornbach Gorge.

7 km Neuburg. Above the forest towers the fortified five-towered complex Neuburg Castle. A paved road leads steeply up to it. Worth seeing there are the district gallery, the outer grounds, and the flower garden from the 17th century, as well as the panoramic view over the Inn Valley.

17 km Passau. The same steep road leads back down to the Inn Valley Cycle Path. On a natural path along the river, the route goes partially considerably uphill and downhill. On the Bavarian side near the Ingling power plant, you reach Passau. Via the university, you get to the old town.

21 km Ingling. From Ingling, follow the road turning right ("Nature Experience Path European Reserve Lower Inn") and from there always in sight of the Inn toward Wernstein. Tip: Those wishing to cover part of the return by boat can board the "MS Schärding" of the Inn shipping captain Schaurecker in Ingling (Tue-Sat: 2:50 pm, additionally Sun and holidays at 12 noon) and enjoy the wild romantic Lower Inn Valley up to Schärding. Bicycle transport is free.

28 km Wernstein. In Wernstein, at the foot of the imposing opposite Neuburg Castle lies the more slender Wernstein Castle, now privately owned. In front of this castle stands a Marian column from 1647. The suspension bridge "Mariensteig" leads pedestrians and cyclists to the other Inn side to Neuburg.
