Fürstenfeldbruck: Monastery, Mills and Haspelmoor
Accommodation in Fürstenfeldbruck
Fürstenfeldbruck can be explored through a wide variety of experiences: the Fürstenfeld monastery grounds combine Baroque architecture, museum exhibits and a diverse events program. Elsewhere in the district, the Furthmühle and Haspelmoor offer different attractions—from mill technology to routes through moorland, villages, fields and patches of woodland. When choosing a holiday apartment, it is therefore helpful to first decide what your trip will focus on: culture and events, the history of technology, or outdoor tours.

Culture around the Fürstenfeld monastery grounds
The abbey church of the Assumption of Mary on the monastery grounds is considered one of the country’s most magnificent Baroque churches. The Fürstenfeldbruck Museum is housed in the former monastery brewery and explores, among other things, the work of the “white monks” of the Cistercian order. The grounds thus bring together architecture and monastic history with a museum that focuses on the order.
The Fürstenfeld Forum offers a broad program: it hosts markets, trade fairs and balls, as well as performances ranging from early music and the Summer of Piano to blues, jazz, dance, shows and cabaret. If a particular event is important to your trip, check the dates in advance, as the program changes from one event to another. There are 800 accessible, free parking spaces at the monastery grounds; check the details before setting off.
Mill craftsmanship and tours in the district
In Egenhofen, the Furthmühle preserves its grain mill and sawmill machinery in its original, working condition. This technical monument offers a hands-on insight into mill and sawmill technology. A cycling route leads to the Furthmühle; visits are possible by prior group registration. If you plan to visit, allow time for registration and check the latest route information before setting out.
The mill shop supplies visitors with its products year-round. It is open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. As opening hours may change, it is advisable to check before visiting.
Haspelmoor can also be incorporated into your plans in different ways. A signposted circular trail through the moor starts at Haspelmoor railway station. A cycling route to Haspelmoor follows quiet paths through villages, fields and patches of woodland. The Fürstenfeldbruck district also offers a wide range of hiking and cycling tours. You can therefore choose between a circular walk, a cycling trip to a specific destination, and other tours in the district; up-to-date route information can help you plan.
Choosing the right location for your holiday apartment
For a trip focused on culture, the church, museum and events forum on the monastery grounds are the main points of interest. Those interested in the history of technology can include the Furthmühle in Egenhofen and plan for the required group registration. For outdoor activities, the circular trail in Haspelmoor, the cycling route there and the district’s other hiking and cycling options offer different ways to plan your trip. These destinations have different focuses, so your choice of holiday apartment should reflect which ones will shape your trip. Compare locations based on your own excursion plans, and check dates, registration requirements or opening hours in advance for visits with specific timing.
