Highlight • Viewpoint

A beautiful sight is the castle high up in the forest, which can be discovered from the Altmühltal cycle path, but can also easily be overlooked. Makes you curious to visit!

Mühlbacher Loch

Lake

17.6 km

Dietfurt is a closed, beautiful place with a Franciscan monastery and an attached meditation house (Zen meditation), a Qigong path, a small museum in the Holler House on prehistory and early history worth seeing with documentation of the excavations on the occasion of the construction of the Rhine-Main Danube Canal. You will also find remains of a defensive wall with defensive towers here.

The cute Chinese fountain (from 1962) is related to the Chinese carnival, which has been celebrated since 1928 on "nonsensical Thursday" (Thursday before Shrove Tuesday). The reputation of a "Chinese city" dates back to the 18th century. A treasurer of the bishop of Eichstatt is said to have tried unsuccessfully to collect taxes. He complained to his bishop: "The Dietfurters seem to me like Chinese who are entrenched behind the wall".
