Mindelstetten is picturesquely situated on the river Altmühl and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. The town is known for its historic architecture, including the impressive 18th-century Guteneck Castle and the Baroque parish church of St. John the Baptist.

Eichstätt, on the other hand, is a cultural centre with a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages. Here you can visit the majestic cathedral or stroll through the narrow streets of the old town, where you will find numerous restaurants, cafés and shops.

But there is much more to discover! In Mindelstetten, outdoor enthusiasts can go on hikes or bike tours - this is especially beautiful in spring or summer along the Altmühltal valley. Fishing at one of the many lakes in the area is also very popular.

If it rains, we recommend a visit to the Altmühltal Nature Park Museum or the Abusina Roman Fort in Eining - here you can learn all there is to know about this region's Roman past!

Culinary wise, this region also has so much to offer: Be sure to try typical Bavarian dishes such as pork knuckle or liver dumplings and enjoy a cool beer from the region to go with it.

A special highlight are the numerous events that take place throughout the year. In summer, for example, the Altmühlfest in Eichstätt takes place - here you can listen to traditional music and taste local specialities.

All in all, Mindelstetten and Eichstätt are definitely worth a trip! With this Travel Guide you now have all the important information to plan your stay. We look forward to welcoming you soon!

    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.

    Sehr schöne lange Tour. Einzig gibt es eine Stelle auf dem Rückweg im Wald, die schon sehr stark zugewachsen ist und zukünftig umfahren werden müsste. Die Höhenmeter sind nach meiner Messung eher bei 700 anzugeben.
