Discover Neuberg: Church, organ and sports

Neuberg combines opportunities for exercise with a historic landmark in Ravolzhausen. The central sports facility is located between Ravolzhausen and Rüdigheim; there, club sports activities are offered alongside a public green space for playing football and basketball. Ravolzhausen is also home to a Protestant church with a fortified churchyard. Outdoor sports and church architecture offer two distinct themes to guide your travel plans, depending on your interests.

Sports and history in Neuberg

The public green space is part of the central sports facility. It offers room to play football and basketball, while the facility also hosts club sports activities. This puts different forms of exercise in the spotlight: informal play on the green space and sports in a club setting. If you would like to include some time outdoors in your trip, the facility is a specific point of interest in Neuberg.

Another highlight in Ravolzhausen is the Protestant church and its fortified churchyard. The church was built or consecrated in 1739. Its organ was made in 1765 by the Dreuth family of organ builders. Together, these two dates reflect two aspects of the ensemble: the church itself and the history of its instrument. In 2025, the church gained step-free access. Check the current access arrangements before visiting.

Neuberg’s local attractions can thus be distinguished from other experiences in the Main-Kinzig district, without needing to combine them into one itinerary.

Landscape, water and culture in the Main-Kinzig district

The wider travel destination of the Main-Kinzig district offers further, independent perspectives. The orchard landscape from Bergen-Enkheim to Maintal-Hochstadt covers around 320 hectares. Some of the sunny slopes are protected; blossoming trees and shrubs and colourful meadows invite you to go for walks and excursions in spring. For a different view across the landscape, head to the 9 m-high Wartturm on Molkenberg: it is a viewpoint and starting point for hikes, with panoramic views over Bad Orb, the Spessart and the Vogelsberg.

The regional options also vary when it comes to water. The Haseltal in Bad Orb combines a path along the Hasel with the Haselweiher pond and a Kneipp facility for relaxing and unwinding; it is also accessible by car. The Kinzigsee in Langenselbold has a sandy beach, a large sunbathing lawn and clear water. Visitors can swim, sunbathe, play beach volleyball, sail, windsurf and stand-up paddleboard there. Seasonal details may change; check the current offerings in advance.

For a cultural destination, visit the Gelnhausen Museum in the former Augustaschule building on Obermarkt. Designed as an interactive museum for children and adults, it offers guided tours, workshops, rallies and other educational activities that invite visitors to experience history through touch, sound, smell, participation and experimentation. Specific programme details may change. The landscape, watersports and hands-on activities appeal to different interests and offer further ideas for planning your trip in the Main-Kinzig district.
