Historic Old Town of Berching

Highlight • Historical Site

Berching was probably continuously inhabited since the Neolithic period. Market law has existed since 1245. Berching calls itself a “gem of the Middle Ages”. The well-preserved old town wall with four city gates and thirteen towers dates from the 14th and 15th centuries. The park areas beyond the impressive, medieval fortifications are beautifully laid out.

Worth seeing are the Chinese Tower, the Powder Tower and the Neumarkter Torturm, the historic town hall, the Zehntstadel, the parish church of the Assumption of Mary, the “Old Parish Church” of St. Lorenz in the suburb and the pilgrimage church of Maria Hilf on the southern outskirts of the city. The city is also known for its annual Rossmarkt, where politicians give pithy speeches.

Historic center of Berching

Highlight • Historical Site

A city center well worth seeing in the middle of the preserved defensive wall from the 15th century with 13 defensive towers! There is the beautiful market square and many alleys to explore, and there are also numerous places to stop for a break.
The special feature of the center are the open channels in the floor. I've never seen it like this before! Now, in August 2020, the paving is currently being renewed and that is why there are some construction sites.

Beilngries is a popular destination for the Altmühltal Panoramaweg and the Altmühl cycle path. Idyllically located on the Altmühl the cyclist can take a well earned break here. The first documentary mention took place in 1007. There is much to discover, such as: For example, Hirschberg Castle, the Church of St. Walburga, half-timbered houses and historic aircraft at the airfield Beilngries.
A variety of restaurants and accommodation round off the offer.

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.

View over the Kratzmühlsee

Highlight • Lake

This bathing lake is fantastic. Everything is taken care of (changing room, waste bin). On your tour, this lake invites you for a picnic and / or for a short, refreshing swim. So, do not forget the towel and swimming trunks.
