    Mountain biking

    Traces of Neolithic hunters were found on the Heuberg (formerly Eichelberg), located directly above the village of Colmberg. A small settlement may have existed there during Celtic times. At the beginning of the Middle Ages, the entire upper Altmühl Valley consisted of primeval forest on the hilltops and swamp near the river and streams.

    After 720, the Frankish kings took possession of the area and used it as a hunting ground. Charlemagne is also said to have hunted aurochs here, which the place name Auerbach still recalls today.
