ニーダーバイエルンの洞窟・トップ20

Here you cross the Altmühl. One beautiful place after another.

The Veste Oberhaus is really a top excursion destination. You can climb the observation tower and enjoy the 360 degree panorama, and of course you also have a great view of Passau and the old town from the walls of the fortress. The museum is open in the summer months. Of course, the beer garden with the great view is definitely a highlight in itself. There is also a youth hostel. The fortress is an architectural masterpiece with the details and the entire structure.

Attention ⚠️: Unfortunately, the ramparts and the Ludwigsteig trail are currently closed due to storm damage. The entire area is cordoned off, and the lower section of the Ludwigsteig is completely destroyed by a landslide. A detour is necessary to reach the castle from the rear. Signposts are in place. We were there again on June 24th. Unfortunately, there has been no change to the construction situation. Everything is still closed 😕

Beautiful complex with the remains of the once proud castle complex from the 11th century. The keep offers a magnificent view of the Altmühltal, the sometimes steeper climb is worth it and the €2 donation is definitely worth it.

The Randeck castle ruins were once a notorious “robbing barons’ nest”. Today, the remains of the castle complex are a popular tourist destination, and a wonderful view of the Altmühl valley awaits you from the keep. A visit to the castle ruins is worthwhile, and I can particularly recommend climbing the tower. The views are fantastic. You can even drive up to the castle by car, and the €2 entrance fee as a donation to the castle’s preservation is really well spent. https://www.marktessing.de/sehenswertes/burgruine_randeck-1607/ https://www.sehenswerter-bayerischer-wald.de/besichtigung-burg-randeck-essing-altmuehltal/

You should definitely take a look at the castle and don't be afraid to climb the tower. You get a great view from up there!
