Kelheim Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

The fountain between the New Town Hall and the Sparkasse symbolizes the confluence of the Danube, Altmühl and Canal. As a replica of Munich's patrona Bavariae, councilor Jakob Mayr had the approx. 7 m high Marian column built in 1700.

Schambachtalbahn Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The cycle path runs for 45 kilometers along the former railway line between Ingolstadt-Nord and Riedenburg. It's easy to cycle, and there's always something to see and information boards tell stories about the old railway line. This is the section from Riedenburg to Hexenagger.

Riedenburg Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

The city of Riedenburg is located in the Altmühltal between Kehlheim and Beilngries. The Altmühl Panoramaweg leads directly through the recognized health resort. In a historic setting (first mentioned in 1111), the traveler can spend a break here and strengthen themselves. Museums, churches and other attractions delight the culturally interested. A special highlight is the medieval festival, which takes place every two years. For the maintenance of the fluid balance, the two local breweries offer themselves.

Anyone who drives past Essing has missed a lot!
The location of the market (mentioned for the first time in a document in 976) is impressive between the high, almost threatening-looking rocks on which Randeck Castle is enthroned, and the idyllic, dark water of the Altmühl, gleaming in the sun.

In the center, which can be reached in various ways, you will find historically interesting buildings, the monastery and rest stops. The "Essinger Kunstweg" on the river bank is also worth seeing, or a visit to the "Blautopf". The wooden bridge in the shape of a Tatzelwurm is already well known.

The Liberation Hall is an extremely impressive monument on the Michelsberg above the town of Kelheim. On the Altmühlradwanderweg you have a nice view.

If you have never been up there, you should plan a detour here - with the 34 white marble victory goddesses inside, it is absolutely worth seeing!
