Friedberg: Augsburg's Twin Hilltop Town, Wittelsbacher Schloss, and the Bavarian Lechfeld Market Centre
Friedberg has about 29,900 residents and sits on a hill east of the Lech river in Bayern, directly adjoining Augsburg. Despite the closeness, Friedberg maintains a separate identity as a Bavarian market town. The Wittelsbacher Schloss, a castle rebuilt in the 16th century after destruction in the Thirty Years' War, overlooks the Marienplatz and the compact Altstadt below.
The Friedberger See lake to the south provides swimming. Augsburg Hauptbahnhof is about 10 minutes by train. Aichach lies to the north. The Lechfeld plain extends south. Munich is roughly 60 kilometres east. The town has both historic pilgrimage churches (Herrgottsruh) and modern suburban residential areas.
