Büchenhüll Mammoth Cave

Highlight • Cave

The Mammoth Cave in Buchenhüll is very impressive. If you approach the grid very slowly, you will feel the temperature change. Once we were lucky and the cave was open. That was a completely different look into the past.

Roman Fort Castra Vetoniana (Pfünz)

Highlight • Historical Site

The partially rebuilt Roman fort is freely accessible in summer. In winter you have to forego a tour of the reconstructed parts, but you can still visit the outside area. …

May 31, 2025,Altmühltalwanderung..Schlaufenweg 15 Walting
I've driven to many highlights in the Altmühl Valley in the past, but in terms of hiking, they were still blank spots in my biography, like the Roman fort and the medieval bridge in Pfünz. Since high temperatures were expected today and Hugo🌞 was supposed to be hitting the ground running, this tour was ideal, as it included a lot …

While the sun struggled to break through yesterday, today it shone in all its glory, and I once again set out on one of the loop trails in the Altmühl Valley.

Starting from Walting, the trail first led along the Altmühl River and a small tributary before climbing out of the valley and onto the plateau.

The first time I used Park4Night to find out about parking options in advance. With a length of almost 6.40 m, the 🍋 doesn't fit in every parking lot.

Let's go to Walting, where I read Affental (ah, well known) and Wildscheinsteig....hoioioi...that sounds kind of steep. When entering we see …
