    Hiking

    The Eichstätt Jura Museum on the Willibaldsburg high above the Altmühltal is one of the most beautifully located natural history museums in Germany. The focus of the exhibition is on the fossils of the Solnhofen limestone limestone, which have been brought to light by the intensive quarrying activity in the region.

    P.S. open again since January 2020

    Hiking

    Be sure to follow the posted signs to the entrance to the castle (the main path to the castle is closed).
    The castle is scaffolded over a large area and parts are closed. According to an employee, it will take at least until the end of 2023, as archaeologists are constantly uncovering new finds and partially reconstructing them.
    Nevertheless, also currently very worth seeing and the Jura Museum is great!
    The museum and the observation tower are open despite renovations.
