Gredl Cycle Path to Höbing

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Gredl Railway once rolled from Greding via Thalmässing and Heideck to Hilpoltstein. Today are on theirs
Cyclists use the former route. Some kilometer stones and display boards provide insight into the history of the railway along the scenic route. From Greding, follow the signs for the Gredl cycle path, past the beaver nature trail, to Thalmässing. As they continue their journey towards Steindl, the cyclists pass the highest point on the route on the main European watershed: from here the water flows south into the Black Sea and north into the
North Sea. The reward for the climb is a wonderful view. We continue through pine forests to Heideck before reaching the lowest point of the tour at the Schweizermühle. From here it is not far to the castle town of Hilpoltstein.

Greding is located about 32 km north of Ingolstadt and about 50 km south of Nuremberg in the Altmühltal Nature Park. The A9 motorway runs through the municipality from northwest to southeast. The Schwarzach river flows parallel to it.[2] The town is a state-recognized health resort.

The Middle Franconian urban area borders on two Bavarian districts (Eichstätt and Neumarkt) and at the same time on two Bavarian administrative districts (Upper Bavaria and Upper Palatinate).

Greding is surrounded by Beilngries, Kinding and Titting in Upper Bavaria, Berching and Freystadt in Upper Palatinate and Hilpoltstein and Thalmässing, also in Middle Franconia

Plankstetten Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

Plankstetten Abbey, impressively situated on a slope in the Sulztal valley between Beilngries and Berching, is one of the most impressive and artistically valuable monastic complexes in the Altmühltal Nature Park and is considered a monument of national importance. The complex is not a museum, but the home and place of work of a living Benedictine monastic community. The monastery tavern offers organic beer, brewed by the Riedenburger brewery, and delicious food. The organic shop and its associated wine cellar have everything to make a gourmet's heart beat faster.
