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!

    Gemütliche Radtour im Herzen Bayerns. Wir haben von Kelheim aus noch die Befreiungshalle besucht. Das ist fast ein Muss bei dieser Tour - auch wenn es noch ein paar Höhenmeter extra sind. Von dort geht es durch einen wunderschönen Buchenwald ebenfalls Richtung Kloster Weltenburg. Ferner gibt es in der Nähe von Hexenagger noch eine 100-jährige Eiche mit beieindruckendem Stammdurchmesser.

    Sobald man das Altmühltal mal erreicht hat wird auch die Strecke asphaltfrei und wirklich anspruchsvoll und schön. Aber leider ist die An- und Abreise recht lang. Auf dem Panoramaweg selbst sind einige Teile durch die Forstwirtschaft recht "durchgeackert", auf anderen, den schmalen Abschnitten, lässt sich das Konfliktpotential mit Wanderern und Naturschützern erahnen. Ich war gegen 18:30 Uhr auf dem Panoramaweg unterwegs und habe niemanden getroffen, sportliches Fahren somit möglich. Durch die vielen Höhenmeter sollte man die Strecke nicht unterschätzen (so wie ich), eine schnelle Feierabendrunde ist es dann doch nicht ganz. Lieber ein wenig langsamer und Natur geniessen.
