History
The origin of the name is unclear. It is derived either from an Indo-European root nav (, flow, swim, 'as in Latin navis, ship' ) or from the Latin in abisso ( in the canyon ).
Roman coin finds validate the presence of the Romans in this area.
The advancing Bavarians used the valley as grazing, pasture and hunting territory, a permanent settlement was only towards the end of the 13th century. A larger manorial system was the Lower Bavarian Benedictine Biburg and the Lords of Auffenstein. In the 15th and 16th century copper and silver were mined.
