Dream trail through the forest

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Slightly above the course of the river, the Altmühltal Panoramaweg meanders directly through the forest. It runs pretty close to the edge of the forest and so you can always take a look in the idyllic valley.

Rock Formations Above Obereichstätt

Highlight • Natural Monument

Above the hiking trail you can find these impressive limestones. The green meadows in combination with the steep rocks and the great view of the valley – a pleasure!

If you're out and about here (at the right time) you can take a break here for a great coffee and cake or a delicious Eichstätter Hofmühl non-alcoholic beer. The coffee is delivered from a regional Eichstätter coffee roastery☕👌🏼.
There's also always a fresh selection of cakes and small pastries on offer.


On my visits so far I've always been served in a more than polite and courteous manner (and when I stop here I'm usually in sweaty running clothes 🫣 🤷🏼).
When the weather's nice there are tables in the shady courtyard of the castle.


And the associated museum in a historically renovated building is definitely worth a visit.

This year for the third time the Altmühltrail in Dollnstein. It was nice.

Nice family event. Fantastic trails with many ups and downs that are not only used by runners. Hikers are also on the move.

It had rained during the night. Then the first rays of sunshine just in time for the start. Perfect running weather.
When the bib numbers were handed out, I was thinking about just running the short lap, because I had a bit of a cold the week before. But then it was time for the long lap, and it was …

For this year's competition trail, the organizer came up with something "SPECIAL" and did NOT announce it beforehand 🤫: the running direction was simply turned 😱, slightly lengthened and two / three minor changes / loops were made to the route. Now the Altmühl Trail has a few special climbs that suddenly no longer existed or had to be mastered …

One of my nicest runs. There were also many hikers on the route. The nice thing about this trail is the variety. You never know exactly what is waiting for you around the next bend.

Trail running event in the Altmühl part: From Dollnstein, it went in a big round ibn steady up and down at various highlights of the Altmühltal (fossil quarry, Twelve Apostles and others) past. The autumn atmosphere made the landscape even more beautiful.
