Straubing

The Danube defines the setting of Straubing — its broad valley and the fertile Gäuboden plain have long supported a regional centre between Regensburg and Passau. The open lowland around the city contrasts with the Bavarian Forest farther north. Straubing’s compact old town is marked by the 68-metre Stadtturm, while the Gothic Basilica of St. Jakob reflects its medieval civic importance. Roman roots are preserved at the Gäubodenmuseum, known for the Straubing Roman Treasure. Each August, the Gäubodenvolksfest brings a major Bavarian fair tradition to the city.
