Local History Museum and Museum Complex in Seebarn
Seebarn is considered to be located on Lake Eixendorf. The local history museum focuses on rural, craft and village life. The collection also includes sacred objects and original furnishings from the former Seebarn school. In this way, exhibits from everyday life sit alongside objects from religious culture.
The Seebarn museum complex also includes the protected Rankl farmstead, two barns and an orchard with old fruit varieties. A children’s exhibition featuring historic toys and a large model railway layout add further topics to the complex. Seasonal opening hours and individual exhibitions may change; check opening hours before your visit.
Town and Valley History in Neunburg vorm Wald
In the wider destination of Neunburg vorm Wald, the Schwarzachtal Local History Museum focuses on a distinct historical theme. Since 1980, it has been housed in the historic rooms of the former town palace. In the 15th century, the palace was a residence of the Wittelsbach Counts Palatine.
The museum introduces visitors to the history and culture of the town of Neunburg vorm Wald and the Schwarzach Valley in 18 rooms and a lapidarium, across a total exhibition area of 1,000 square metres: from the earliest times through to the post-war period. Its focus therefore differs from that of the Seebarn Local History Museum. The latter focuses on rural, craft and village life; the museum in Neunburg covers the history of the town and the Schwarzach Valley over an extended period.
Hiking, Cycling and Other Activities
The wider destination of Neunburg vorm Wald is also relevant for trails and activities. The GOLDSTEIG premium hiking trail runs directly through Neunburg vorm Wald. A hiking trail loops around the entire Lake Eixendorf, while a cycle path runs along the lake’s south shore. The routes can be distinguished by where they run: through Neunburg, around the lake or along its south shore.
The Neunburg Yacht Club offers sailing on Lake Eixendorf. On the “Fish” adventure trail, Eixi introduces visitors to other fish found in Lake Eixendorf and the Schwarzach. The trail also includes several skill-testing stations. The viewing opening in the wooden carp “Eixi” is seven metres high.
The Neunburg vorm Wald outdoor pool complex includes a heated swimming pool with a water temperature of 26 °C and a length of 33.3 metres, as well as a non-swimmer pool with two slides measuring 55 and 12 metres long. Massage jets, a current channel, a children’s paddling pool, a water mushroom and a heated indoor area round out the facilities. The pool complex also has table tennis tables, a beach volleyball court, a soccer field and a basketball area.
When planning your trip, it is worth keeping the two areas distinct: Seebarn’s own focus is its local history museum and museum complex; the trails, sailing options and outdoor pool mentioned above are part of the wider destination of Neunburg vorm Wald. This lets you decide whether to focus mainly on village life and culture or also consider the town’s history and activities.
