Altmühltal

Active break in the Altmühltal Nature Park

The Altmühltal Panoramic Trail is a hiking route in the midst of nature, leading in some cases on narrow, rocky and uneven paths along the Altmühl, across sunny juniper heaths, through untouched forests and wild, romantic rocky landscapes, on varied valley and ridge passes, through historic towns, to castles and fortresses, to witness of the Celtic and Roman past.

From Gunzenhausen via Eichstätt to Kelheim, 200 km of enjoyable hiking through Altmühl National Park, a multi-stage hike with alternating hotels and luggage transfer, along the Altmühl and the Main-Danube Canal, from Weltenburg Monastery to Kelheim along the Danube.
