Beilngries

Beilngries is picturesquely situated at the confluence of the Altmühl and Sulz rivers, nestled between the hills of the Altmühltal Nature Park. The town is known for its historic old town with many well-preserved buildings from the Middle Ages as well as for the Plankstetten Monastery, an impressive example of baroque architecture. A special highlight is also the lock at Dietfurt - here tourists can experience at first hand how ships are transported over land.

Eichstätt, on the other hand, impresses with its location in the middle of the Altmühltal Nature Park and its history as the former residence town of the prince bishops of Eichstätt. Tourist highlights include Willibaldsburg Castle with its magnificent view over the town or the fossil and lithographic museum in Solnhofen.

Cultural highlights can be discovered in both towns: Concerts are held regularly in Beilngries, while in Eichstätt you should not miss the annual "Altmühlfranken" festival. Both towns also offer culinary delights - typical dishes of the region are, for example, roast pork or carp fillet.

Those who like to be active can let off steam in Beilngries by hiking or cycling in the Altmühltal Nature Park. Canoeing on the Altmühl is also very popular, especially in the summer months. In Eichstätt, on the other hand, outdoor activities are best pursued in the beautiful Anlauter valley.

If it should rain, museum visits or a leisurely stroll through the old town are a good idea - both towns have a lot to offer here.

In summary, Beilngries and Eichstätt are two towns with a wealth of sights, activities and culinary delights. Whether as a travel guide or a travel guide - these two towns are definitely worth a trip!
