Hike from the car park (free) in Riedenburg to the castle or palace (different on each sign) in Prunn and back. Stop at a Colombian-run restaurant with a changing menu. The restaurant is opposite Prunn Castle. There are 2 caves and 2 climbing spots along the way.

Our second tour in the Altmühltal took us from Riedenburg through the wintery gorge ☃️ up to the impressive Prunn Castle. This hike had everything a hiker's heart could desire: slightly snow-covered paths, sunny trails and a sunset 🌄 like in a picture book.

What a beautiful hike in the Altmühltal. The gorge hike near Riedenburg leads you through shady forests, past mighty Jura rocks, to wonderful views of the Altmühltal and to Riedenburg Castle and Prunn Castle.
Have a wonderful holiday. 🤗🥰

If you're traveling alone with two dogs, some short sections are a bit tricky but definitely doable. At the beginning, you walk on the road for about 10 minutes, but at the end, it's significantly longer. Overall, it's a beautiful route.
