View of the 'Twelve Apostles' rock formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

These rocks are a scenic highlight of the Altmühltal Nature Park. From the bike path, you can see the impressive rock formation known as the Twelve Apostles, standing vertically on the riverbank.

The rock towers are made of sponge limestone, a type of rock that weathers more slowly than the surrounding White Jurassic limestone. For this reason, the Twelve Apostles have gradually formed out of the surrounding sloping hillsides over the years, resulting in the beautiful rock formation we see today.

Burgsteinfelsen near Dollnstein

Highlight • Natural Monument

The tower-like rock is one of the most beautiful Bavarian geotopes - selected by the Bavarian Geological State Office. The distinctive rock formation of the castle stone is part of a limestone platform, which was deposited in a subtropical shallow sea during the Upper Jurassic period.

Burgsteinfelsen near Dollnstein

Highlight • Natural Monument

The dry slopes near Dollnstein are part of a nature reserve. The imposing Burgstein rock is one of the most famous rock formations in the Altmühl Valley. The 45-meter-high rock is not only a beautiful subject for photographs but also a paradise for climbers. The Burgstein rock is also number three on Bavaria's list of the 100 most beautiful geotopes.

Altmühl River at Attenbrunn Mill

Highlight • River

Nice bike path! Runs mostly on the old railway line, well developed and signposted. Experience the Altmühltal, visit the places and stop off at the Gasthof zum Hirschen in Wasserzell and eat well - great! Then finally an espresso in the café in Dollenstein.

Willibaldsburg, Eichstätt

Highlight • Castle

The Willibaldsburg towers high above Eichstätt and can be seen from afar.

The castle complex was built in 1355 by Bishop Berthold Burgrave von Zollern and served as a bishopric until 1725. In the 17th century the castle was converted into a representative residence.

Today the castle houses various museums and scientific collections. There is also a beautiful castle garden and the beer tavern takes care of your physical well-being.
