    Dollnstein is located in the middle of the Altmühltal nature park. The small town is surrounded by a medieval defensive wall. You are standing here in front of the north gate with the battlement. In the center you will find many half-timbered houses and the Jura houses that are often built in the Altmühltal. A very nice ensemble.

    The northern gate tower, popularly known as "Petersturm", bears the coat of arms of Prince-Bishop Wilhelm von Reichenau. Next to the tower, part of the timbered battlement that originally ran along the inside of the wall was reconstructed.

    Parts of the foundation walls were made visible through excavations and the north gate was reconstructed using scientific knowledge.
