Mountain biking

Beautiful castle complex high above the Altmühltal and Essing. Randeck Castle, built in the 11th and 12th centuries, is one of the oldest castles in Bavaria. The name Randeck is unceremoniously interpreted as Rundeck, referring to a corner formation in the otherwise round keep. The castle is freely accessible, with a donation box at the gate. The keep offers a magnificent view of the Altmühltal and over Essing.
