Arndthöhle Cave

Highlight • Cave

Great cave with spectacular access. It goes down to the cave entrance. A bit spooky 🙂. Pack a flashlight! Freely accessible – Visit preferably only between April and October (for bat protection reasons).

View of the Altmühl Valley from the Arnsberger Leite

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Arnsberger Leite is one of the most exciting and impressive rock formations in the entire Altmühltal. The Altmühltal Panoramaweg leads directly above the rocks and offers dramatic views down to the river.

Done, my feet are burning after a good 27 kilometers and I can now say that I have hiked to the geographical center of Bavaria. 😃 But that was just one highlight of today's tour. The photos speak for the rest...

Unfortunately, towards the end we had to walk unpleasantly along the road because the hiking trail was closed due to wind damage.

The popular 200 km long Altmühl Panoramaweg leads along the Altmühl. From this long-distance hiking trail planned as circular tours, there are the so-called loop trails.

In glorious sunshine but still quite cool temperatures, today we went on a long tour through the albmül valley, around the geographical center of Bavaria.

From the hiking car park we first climbed up to Kipfenberg Castle, in the outer bailey the Roman-Bajuwaren Museum is housed. We then continued to Michelsberg, from which you have a wonderful view over Kipfenberg and into the Altmühl Valley. At a small grotto where we had a rest we found a geocache by chance and wrote our names in …
