Naab with many faces

Really cool bridge over the Altmühl, there's always something going on here.

Laaber Castle Ruins A Wernherus de Labere witnessed the founding of Reichenbach Abbey in 1135. In 1166, the Lords of Laaber are listed in a document among the free nobles who were directly subject to the Holy Roman Empire. The Lords of Laaber oversaw the important royal road in the Black Laber Valley and thus controlled key traffic junctions in the region. Wernher IV was an ardent supporter of the last Hohenstaufen emperor, Frederick II, in the first half of the 13th century. Hadamar III, born around 1300, was a famous minnesinger; his best-known work is "The Hunt." His descendants reached the height of their power, providing several mayors in the major imperial cities of the region: Ulrich in Nuremberg in 1366, and Hadamar IV in Regensburg in 1367. In 1389, Laaber Castle was damaged in an attack by the imperial city of Regensburg because Hadamar IV had been in constant conflict with the city after the end of his mayoral term. In the 15th century, the Lords of Laaber increasingly encountered financial difficulties. In 1435, the castle had to be sold to the Wittelsbachs, but remained a fief of Ulrich von Laaber. When he died around 1469, his castle in Laaber finally passed into the Wittelsbachs' possession. In 1597, the dukes had Laaber expanded into a palace. As the complex fell into increasing disrepair in the 18th and 19th centuries, the original Romanesque structures began to reappear. The castle complex was separated from the ridge by a deep dry moat, which in the Middle Ages featured a wooden bridge with a drawbridge. It was protected by a semicircular tower followed by a gatehouse with a Gothic barbican. The second and third gates, which lead through a curtain wall several meters thick, exhibit massive rusticated ashlar masonry. The imposing stump of the rectangular keep, with the castle chapel behind it, displays large, precisely hewn ashlar masonry typical of the period around 1200. To the south and east of the complex, the walls of residential buildings with Romanesque windows still stand. A cistern was located in the castle courtyard. Several residential buildings, some of which also occupy former castle structures, are integrated into the complex. The castle chapel south of the keep is therefore not accessible. The coat of arms of the Lords of Laaber, a crowned lion's head in profile, can be seen on this gate tower. Source: Excerpts from www.wikipedia.de / www.burgenseite.de

There's just something very special about this place! I always enjoy coming back.

Put it in a light gear and pedal up comfortably, observing the rocks to the right and left in the forest! Even if you don't want to continue through the forest, it's worth the climb and descent! I give it 6 out of 5 stars.

nice route, asphalt mostly ok

As with most bridges over a river, a beautiful view :)

Mariaort: lots of water, lots of church, actually a very worthwhile destination, but far too well known ;-)
