Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal Path

Highlight • Cycleway

A detour to the LMD channel would not be enough. The walk along the canal is the tour itself! Miles along the water, great nature! Super bike paths, not paved but nicely fixed.

Beilngries Old Town and St. Walburga Church

Highlight • Settlement

Beilngries boasts a beautiful old town that invites you to stroll around. Hirschberg Castle is another highlight. This building, now used as a conference center, sits perched on a mountain spur high above the town. The castle courtyard is open to the public and well worth a visit.

Another interesting attraction in Beilngries is the Brewery Museum, located in an underground rock labyrinth.

Admission is five euros. The museum is open every Sunday from 10:30 a.m. from April to October 31st. In August, it is also open on Thursdays.
