In the old town of Eichstätt, you will find many baroque-style buildings. The highlight is the Eichstätt Cathedral. The Altmühltal Panorama route offers worthwhile viewpoints over the rooftops of the town along this section. The hike also leads you along idyllic riverside paths along the Altmühl, where you will encounter canoeists and swans. A highlight of the hike is the grounds of the Willibaldsburg with the Bastion Garden (an information garden about the plant world of the Hortus Eystettensis), wide views, a place to stop for refreshments, and the Jura Museum. The return journey mainly takes place through cool forests.
Author’s recommendation
- Visit the museum "Das Jurahaus" (observe opening times) after a short detour at the beginning of the hike
- Visit the "Inselbad" Eichstätt in summer (observe opening times)
- Visit the Jura Museum (observe opening times)
