Varied hike through idyllic valleysThe market town of Altmannstein is the largest place in the idyllic Schambach Valley and the center of the former hop-growing area Jura/Altmannstein between the Altmühl and Danube rivers, which has belonged to the Hallertau, the largest hop-growing region in the world, since 1992. The partly rocky slopes between the Alb plateau and the Schambach Valley are home to impressive nutrient-poor and dry grasslands, which can be particularly beautifully experienced in the approximately 24 ha large nature reserve Kreutberg.

Our base was the well-signed Loop 24, which leads long and calmly across the countryside without touching many towns. Meditative and enduring... we modified it with a castle tour in Altmannstein, a different starting point, and a finale at the castle in Riedenburg
