Essing Bridge Gatehouse

Highlight • Bridge

The entrance gate to Essing over the 46 m long wooden bridge, today an admired historical monument and photo motif. The round arches are clearly visible on the town hall square.

Essing Village and Tatzlwurm Wooden Bridge

Highlight • Settlement

Anyone who drives past Essing has missed a lot!
The location of the market (mentioned for the first time in a document in 976) is impressive between the high, almost threatening-looking rocks on which Randeck Castle is enthroned, and the idyllic, dark water of the Altmühl, gleaming in the sun.

In the center, which can be reached in various ways, you will find historically interesting buildings, the monastery and rest stops. The "Essinger Kunstweg" on the river bank is also worth seeing, or a visit to the "Blautopf". The wooden bridge in the shape of a Tatzelwurm is already well known.

View of the Befreiungshalle Kelheim

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Liberation Hall is an extremely impressive monument on the Michelsberg above the town of Kelheim. On the Altmühlradwanderweg you have a nice view.

If you have never been up there, you should plan a detour here - with the 34 white marble victory goddesses inside, it is absolutely worth seeing!

Opening hours:
April-October: 9-18 clock
November-March: 9-16
open daily

Kelheim Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

The fountain between the New Town Hall and the Sparkasse symbolizes the confluence of the Danube, Altmühl and Canal. As a replica of Munich's patrona Bavariae, councilor Jakob Mayr had the approx. 7 m high Marian column built in 1700.
