Lenting

Lenting is located only a few kilometres from Ingolstadt and is known for its picturesque landscape. The town is located at the foot of the Alps and thus offers a breathtaking backdrop. One highlight is Lenting Castle, which dates back to the 17th century and is now used as an event venue. The parish church of St. Vitus with its baroque façade is also worth a visit.

Eichstätt, on the other hand, impresses with its historic old town with numerous sights such as Eichstätt Cathedral or Willibaldsburg Castle, which towers high above the town. Those who enjoy hiking should visit the Altmühltal Nature Park - there are countless hiking trails to explore along the Altmühl River.

But Eichstätt also has a lot to offer in terms of culture: The annual Baroque Festival attracts visitors from all over the world and showcases the magnificent costumes and music of this period in an impressive way.

A culinary speciality of both towns are hearty Bavarian dishes such as pork knuckle or liver dumplings - perfectly accompanied by a cool beer from a local brewery.

For outdoor activities, summer is particularly suitable: Here you can go canoeing on the Altmühl or take bicycle tours through the picturesque landscape. In winter, on the other hand, a visit to the nearby ski areas is a good idea.

But there are also plenty of activities in Lenting and Eichstätt in rainy weather: a visit to the Jura Museum in Eichstätt or the Audi Museum Mobile in Ingolstadt is always worthwhile.

In summary, it can be said that Lenting and Eichstätt are definitely worth a trip - whether for those interested in culture, hiking enthusiasts or connoisseurs of Bavarian cuisine. This travel guide will help you get the most out of your stay!
