Roman Fort Castra Vetoniana (Pfünz)

Highlight • Historical Site

The partially rebuilt Roman fort is freely accessible in summer. In winter you have to forego a tour of the reconstructed parts, but you can still visit the outside area.

It's hard to believe that this facility was built around the year 90. Initially as a wooden and earth fort to ensure the protection and maintenance of the nearby Limes. Almost 80 years later, the old fort was replaced by stone buildings. In the middle of the 3rd century, like most other Roman forts north of the Danube, it was destroyed by an Alemannic invasion.

Beilngries Old Town and St. Walburga Church

Highlight • Settlement

Beilngries boasts a beautiful old town that invites you to stroll around. Hirschberg Castle is another highlight. This building, now used as a conference center, sits perched on a mountain spur high above the town. The castle courtyard is open to the public and well worth a visit.

Another interesting attraction in Beilngries is the Brewery Museum, located in an underground rock labyrinth.

Admission is five euros. The museum is open every Sunday from 10:30 a.m. from April to October 31st. In August, it is also open on Thursdays.

Day 5, always along the river, a small loop back to Kipfenberg, and then a really steep climb at the end.

We start in Eichstätt. You leave the old town and head into nature. The paths are perfectly maintained, mostly paved.

In Arnsberg, there's another self-service ice cream machine at the sports field. We couldn't resist. 👌
