Great view from the ruins of Tachenstein, the way to the ruins is worth it. From the remains of the once proud castle you can enjoy the wonderful view of Riedenburg, the Main-Danube Canal and in the distance Prunn Castle.

Very nice, short but strenuous hike, often very steep paths. But you have a very nice view of the Altmühltal and Riedenburg. Surefootedness is absolutely necessary

The planned hike fell victim to the unplanned falconry and the heat 🙄 well, it's not forbidden to come back 😊 actually, falconry like this is nothing for me... I felt so sorry for the birds, but I had to change my mind! It's amazing how much effort and love for animals has to go into the training, there's also …

On our way to vacation, we stopped today in Riedenburg in the Altmühl Valley. After the heavy rain had passed—yes, and the sun actually came out—we set off for Riedenburg's three castles. It was a short tour with beautiful views, but also some ascents and descents.

A very beautiful path along the Tachenstein and Rabenstein ruins to Rosenburg Castle. And the crowning highlight is the falconry at the castle with a flight show. And don't forget the beer garden and the castle museum.

Today was my first hike with my best friend.
We just wanted to do a bit of shopping in Riedenburg. After an iced coffee, we wanted to go for a walk. Unfortunately, we were wearing the wrong shoes... sandals. Totally unsuitable! Never again 🙈
Still, it was beautiful up by the castles again. Great hike. I highly recommend it.

In Riedenburg you come across medieval castles and ruins in a very small space. The position of the buildings, high up on the rock massifs, is always puzzling as to how this was achieved with the resources available at the time.
There was not much left of the Tachenstein and Rabenstein castles, but you could still get an idea of …

For our hike in the Altmühl Valley today, we chose Riedenburg because there are three castles and ruins to visit here.

First of all: How and where Kommot got the time information (in this case, 35 minutes) is a mystery to us. We were on the trail for a good two hours.
