Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz

Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz straddles the transition between the Neumarkt basin and the Franconian Jura in Bavaria, a position that has long linked the Nuremberg area with the Upper Palatinate. The former Ludwig Canal, built to connect the Main and Danube river systems, passes through the city and now forms part of a long-distance cycling corridor. At its centre, the Pfalzgrafenschloss recalls Neumarkt’s time as a residence of the Wittelsbach counts palatine, while the Gothic Hofkirche gives the old town a distinctive silhouette. Forested Jura slopes and open farmland begin close to the streets. Browse webcams around Neumarkt and the Upper Palatinate to place the city in its regional setting.
