The baroque town of Eichstätt is definitely worth a tour. Above all, the cathedral and the Willibaldsburg with the Jura Museum are well worth seeing. Among other things, a famous fossil of Archeopteryx is on display at the castle.

Eichstätt's old town and the sights in Eichstätt are characterized by the Baroque. Only a few houses and churches, including the cathedral, were preserved when the Catholic Eichstätt was captured and destroyed by the Swedish army in the 30-year war.
During the reconstruction, which took place even in a time of economic boom, the then contemporary Baroque style was generally preferred and so offers the small town in Altmühltal with the sights in Eichstätt a very nice uniform cityscape.

Eichstätt is a very beautiful place in the Altmühltal. Always stick to the watercourse of the Altmühl.
Don't forget to take a photo.
