Directly on the cycle path and the river. The Mühlenwirt in Solnhofen is a nice place to stop in the Altmühltal. The Franconian inn is housed in a listed village mill, and the beer garden directly borders the Altmühl. On the menu, you will find regional snacks, Franconian classics, and Spalter beer from the only municipal brewery in Germany. Info here: https://zum-muehlenwirt.de/.

Monheim's elongated market square reveals that the important trade route between Nuremberg and Augsburg once ran through here. The square is framed by historic city gates, which were built around 1340 along with the city wall. The carefully restored buildings of the old town recall a time when Monheim boasted numerous inns, horse-changing stations, and breweries. The town hall is also among the most striking buildings in the town center.

Today, the castle houses, among other things, the Museum of the City of Treuchtlingen.
