Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Eichstätt
Eichstätt combines the soft curves of the Altmühl valley with a baroque city with clear streets and well-dressed squares. Facades, churches and views to the heights are unhurriedly discovered, with enough relief to alternate compact center and viewpoints.
Place
Kelheim
Kelheim It is located at the meeting of the Danube, Altmühl and the canal, in a landscape where limestone cliffs sometimes tighten the water. The ancient center, the Befreiungshalle on the height and the departures by boat to the Danube parade give several ways to read the city from the river or from the hillsides.
Place
Riedenburg
Riedenburg attracts by a more intimate architecture, supported by streets that change character over intersections. Its interest is to allow the visitor time to grasp the nuances of matter, light and local circulation.
