November 8, 2022,Altmühltal - Schlaufe 14 bei Eichstätt

Nice tour through the juniper heath in the Altmühltal.

The field of figures by the sculptor Alois Wunsche-Mitterecker is impressive, as is the 400-year-old Stations of the Cross with the linden avenue.

Today, with cold temperatures and lots of sunshine, I chose the dream loop 14 in the Altmühltal. It was okay, but there were very few highlights along the way. It was nice that everything was frozen and there were winter vibes.❄️☀️

March 11, 2026,Naturpark Altmühltal: TraumSchlaufe Eichstätt

With an unsettled weather forecast, I headed back to Pfünz today, not to the impressive Roman fort, but towards Eichstätt to the equally fascinating sculpture field.

The hike began with a wonderful mix of sun and clouds, following narrow paths through the beautiful dry grassland slopes of the Altmühl Valley. The first pasqueflowers were already in bloom.

In the best hiking weather today we went around Landershofen with a detour to the Roman fort.
The bridge crossed is called the Roman bridge, but is actually from the Middle Ages.
