Geographically, Pförring and Eichstätt are located in Bavaria, more precisely in the Altmühltal Nature Park. This region is known for its breathtaking landscapes with picturesque rivers and forests as well as impressive rock formations.

One of the most important sights of Eichstätt is undoubtedly the baroque residence from the 18th century. Here you can embark on a journey through time and experience the pompous life of the nobility at first hand. Eichstätt Cathedral is also a highlight: it was built as early as the 8th century and is considered one of the most important sacred buildings in Germany.

In Pförring, it is worth taking a walk through the historic town centre or visiting Eggmühl Castle - today it houses a museum on the Battle of Abensberg in 1809.

Culturally, the region also has much to offer: Concerts are held regularly in Eichstätt, and there are also various festivals such as the international jazz festival "Jazz an der Donau". In summer, the open-air theatre at the Willibaldsbrunnen also attracts many visitors.

If you like to try culinary delicacies, you should definitely try the regional cuisine. These include, for example, liver dumpling soup, roast pork or also Kaiserschmarrn.

For outdoor enthusiasts, there are numerous possibilities in the region: In summer, for example, you can go canoeing on the Altmühl or take a bike tour through the picturesque valley. Hikes are also very popular here - especially in autumn, when the leaves turn colourful.

If it should rain, Pförring offers a small but fine local history museum as well as various cafés and restaurants to linger in.

Where is the most beautiful? That's hard to say - every place has its own charm. But if you like to experience pure nature, you should definitely visit the Altmühltal National Park and take a boat trip or go hiking.

Overall, Pförring and Eichstätt as a destination offer many possibilities for a varied holiday with cultural highlights, culinary delights and outdoor activities in a breathtaking landscape. A travel guide is definitely worthwhile!

    Da die Tour nicht ausgeschildert ist, haben wir auf dem Rückweg den Radweg nicht gefunden und sind auf der Straße gefahren. Ansonsten super Tour, schöne Aussicht, die Überfahrt über die Donau ist super und der Biergarten groß genug. Die Ruinen waren definitv das Highlight.

    Fünf Sterne, obwohl wir am 23.10. nur den sehr schönen Teil Gögging-Eining fahren konnten. Das Kastell in Eining ist überaus interessant. Leider fährt die Donaufähre in Eining nur bis 3.10., so dass wir umdrehen mussten und auf ähnlichem Weg über Neustadt zurückgekehrt sind. Dort sehr gute Einkehrmöglichkeiten.

    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.
