Neuching: Christmas Market and Lüßer Weiher

Neuching combines a Christmas market in December with the municipal swimming pond, Lüßer Weiher. This brings seasonal culture and time by the water together as two distinct highlights.

December tradition and a Christmas play

The Neuching Christmas market has been held in December for several years. Musical, culinary and artistic offerings shape the programme. The municipality now describes the market as a two-day event. If the market is the reason for your trip, check the exact event dates in advance.

The Christmas play by the Neichinger Brettlhupfa has its own rhythm: the group performs it every two years at the Christmas market in Oberneuching. If this particular performance is important to your plans, it is advisable to confirm the date before travelling. This helps distinguish the biennial performance schedule from the market’s general December tradition.

Around Lüßer Weiher

During its renovation in spring 2012, the municipal swimming pond Lüßer Weiher gained a new sunbathing lawn. Mown meadow paths and benches make it possible to walk around the lake. Two distinct aspects are therefore at the heart of a visit to the pond: the sunbathing lawn as a place to relax and the route along the water. As visitor conditions can change, it is worth checking the current situation before your visit.

Culture and trails in the wider Erding destination

The wider Erding destination has its own cultural and outdoor highlights. The Erdinger Bauernhausmuseum comprises 15 historic buildings relocated there from the district of Erding. It depicts rural economic and everyday life in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The number of buildings and the historical period covered give a visit to the museum a specific focus.

Guided city tours in Erding give residents and tourists insights into the history of the city and its buildings. A tour of the town tower takes visitors up one of Erding’s oldest buildings. After 163 steps, the tour reaches a height of 35 metres. From there, views extend across Erding and the surrounding area to Munich and, in foehn conditions, to the Alpine panorama.

Another cultural and historical highlight in Erding is Franz Xaver Stahl’s former home and studio. The Biedermeier house dates from around 1840 and is furnished with historical furniture. The former studio has remained unchanged since Stahl’s death. In 2014, the house was opened to the public as a museum.

The trails in Erding also vary in duration and route: the themed trails take around an hour and lead through the old town, city districts or in the footsteps of artists. Hiking trails range from 5.9 to 15 kilometres; their estimated walking times are between one and a half and five hours. One hiking trail leads to St. Martin’s Church in Indorf. The district of Erding also has more than 28 varied, well-signposted cycling routes.

If your main aim is to experience the museums, guided city tours or trails described above, focus your search on the wider Erding destination.
