Jurasteig

Hiking through one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the heart of Bavaria

A hiking trail through one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the heart of Bavaria, awarded the “Wanderbares Deutschland Quality Trail” quality seal due to its outstanding potential for experience.

The Jurasteig begins and ends in Kelheim. It leads in a large loop across the elevations and valleys of the Danube, Altmühl, Weiße and Schwarze Laber, Lauterach, Vils and Naab.

Original river landscapes alternate with almost Mediterranean-like karst landscapes. The route is lined with castles and monasteries, as well as rocky crags, juniper heaths, pine and beech forests, while rare plants, orchids, Carthusian pinks and quaking grasses accompany you along the way. Peregrines, beavers and kingfishers have their home here.

Multi-stage hike with alternating hotels and luggage transfer, Jurasteig total length ca. 237 km.
