In the Altmühl Valley, numerous traces of the Bronze Age can be found, dating from approximately 1600 to 700 BC. Particularly impressive are the burial mounds, often hidden in forests or on hills. These elevations in the terrain are not natural hills, but human-made graves in which important figures of their time were buried. Archaeologists found grave goods such as bronze spears, jewelry, ceramic vessels, and tool remains in the burial mounds – signs of a highly developed culture that already processed metal and maintained extensive trade relations. The location of the graves suggests that they also served as visible symbols of power or as boundary markers.

The St. Ottilien Chapel near Kinding is a picturesquely situated small pilgrimage chapel above the town in the Altmühl Valley. It is elevated on the edge of the forest with a beautiful view over the valley and is dedicated to Saint Ottilia, the patron saint of those with eye diseases. Ottilia was born blind and only regained her sight through Christian baptism. She is therefore considered an intercessor and patron saint for all eye diseases.

Beautiful swimming lake. Our gravel bike tour was interrupted with a quick dip in the lake. It was worth it, especially given the 32-degree heat that day.
