Historic Old Town of Hilpoltstein

Highlight • Historical Site

Nice place - the cobblestones are very pleasant to drive. It is also worth making a longer stop here to admire the castle

Historic Town Center of Hilpoltstein

Highlight • Historical Site

A beautiful city - as soon as you have left the city ring road (it's generally good to cycle here, many cycle paths) you get to a small inner city that is typically Franconian

The beginnings of Hilpoltstein Castle and the town date back to the 10th century. In the 13th and 14th centuries the castle was the seat of the Lords of Stein. In 1354 Hilpoltstein was granted city rights. Two years later, Schweiger von Gundelfingen sold the castle and town of Hilpoltstein to the Wittelsbach dukes Stephan, Johann and Friedrich. When the duchy was divided, Hilpoltstein became part of Bavaria-Ingolstadt. In 1392 Duke Stephan confirmed the city rights.
