A striking rock formation in the Altmühl Valley. A small rest area in front of the rock invites you to take a break. You can often see climbers scaling the rock here.

Artful buildings, natural beauty, and technology museums—there's much to discover in Kinding. The most striking building in Kinding itself is the remarkable "Kirchenburg" (Church Fortress), a unique art-historical gem. The numerous castles and ruins, as well as the natural beauty, are best discovered on walks and hikes. Lake Kratzmühl invites you to bathe, swim, row, and sunbathe—along more than two kilometers of shoreline.

Too bad. The castle is privately owned and therefore cannot be visited. Right next door is a small Roman Limes museum.
