August 17, 2023,Fränkische Radtour Tag4, 17. August, Pappenheim Eichstätt
This morning we visited the medieval Pappenheim Castle, an impressive complex. The Pappenheimers became famous through Schiller's epic "Wallenstein". We continued to Solmhofen, where many fossils are still being excavated and where the famous Archeopteryx was found. The impressive rock formations of the 12 apostles follow a few kilometers later. In Eichstätt, the famous prince-bishop's residence, we take a longer …

Near Ziegelstein, I encountered a path where stinging nettles were 1m high. I don't think a Bulldog has ridden through there yet this year. The return trip along the Altmühl was pleasant, though. I took in …

Super round in perfect early summer weather :-)
The trails on the high banks of the Altmühl and at the foot of the slopes are great. Especially at the Twelve Apostles, above Eichstätt and in the valley west of Eichstätt. Of course, we also took a few gravel and bike paths to get the route under at all this afternoon. …
