Editing Abensberg (section)

==Economy and Infrastructure==
The area around Abensberg, the so-called sand belt between [[Siegburg]], [[Neustadt an der Donau]], Abensberg and [[Langquaid]], is used for the [[intensive farming]] of [[asparagus]], due to the optimal soil condition and climate. 212 hectares of land can produce ninety-four asparagus plants. Abensberg asparagus enjoys a reputation among connoisseurs as a particular delicacy. In addition to asparagus, the production of hops plays a major role locally, the region having its own label, and there are still three independent breweries in the area. The town of Abensberg marks the start of the ''Deutsche Hopfenstraße'' (''German Hops Road''), a nickname given to the [[Bundesstraße]] 301, a German federal highway which runs through the heartland of Germany's hops-growing industry, ending in [[Freising]].

===Transport===
The Abensberg railway station is located on the [[Regensburg–Ingolstadt railway]] from [[Regensburg Hauptbahnhof|Regensburg]] to [[Ingolstadt Hauptbahnhof|Ingolstadt]]. The city can be reached via the A-93 Holledau-Regensburg road (exit Abensberg). Three [[Bundesstraße]] (German federal highways) cross south of Abensberg: [[Bundesstraße 16|B 16]], [[Bundesstraße 299|B 299]] and B 301.
