Stift Neuburg Abbey
Stift Neuburg
A Benedictine abbey on a hillside above the Neckar, with an abbey brewery and gardens, reachable by bike along the river.
Stift Neuburg Abbey lies on a hillside on the north bank of the Neckar, about 3 km east of the old town. Founded in 1130, it is a Benedictine abbey that Goethe once visited. Visitors can see the abbey church and gardens. The abbey's own brewery and restaurant serve house-brewed beer and local dishes, and the farm shop sells jam, bread and wine made by the monks. Admission is free. You can walk or cycle along the north bank of the Neckar, about 40 minutes, or take bus line 34.
