Kinding walks
Kindinger Burgenweg
The Altmühl Valley is full of castles and ruins that bear witness to an eventful past. Three of them – or rather, their barely recognisable remains – can be found between Kinding and Unteremmendorf. One of Bavaria’s most remarkable geological features, the Felsentor, still marks the entrance to one of these castles today. You can also admire the Kindinger Klause, a cave that provided shelter to people many years ago, and the not-quite-as-historic Roman bridge.
Hilpoltstein Lock Path and Castle Ruins
Half-timbered houses, a castle ruin, water in abundance – the charming town of Hilpoltstein in the district of Roth has all this to offer. A beautiful and very varied circular walk takes in the finest sights.
Rednitz-Rezat Trail
The Rednitz-Rezat Trail from Rednitzhembach to Spalt follows the river all the way. It takes you past the varied landscapes of the Franconian Lake District. Sometimes over wooded high banks, sometimes through wide valley meadows into the famous Spalt hills with their countless hop gardens. Cultural highlights along the way range from historic old towns, Ratibor Castle, museums and many beautiful churches and monuments to art trails. Cosy Franconian pubs and beer gardens invite you to stop for a break along the way.
Lauterachtal Juniper Trail – Stage 2
The second part of the Juniper Trail also has its own special highlights. From Hohenburg, the trail leads along the slope of the Lauterach Valley through forests and juniper heaths across the sparsely populated landscape. At Ransbach, the idyllic trail switches to the other bank of the Lauterach, then leads over the ridge to Kastl. The area between Hohenburg and Kastl in the Hirschwald Nature Park has a special feature. Directly on the cycle path that flanks the Lauterach lies the Hohenfels military training area, at the top of which the ruins of the former castle complex are visible.
Lauterachtal Juniper Trail – Stage 3 (circular route in Kastl)
The third stage of the Juniper Trail summarises all the scenic highlights on a short circular route. Magnificent beech forests above Kastl, dry grasslands and, of course, the beautiful juniper heaths. It leads across the historic market square in Kastl with the old town hall, past the monastery church and up into the Hochholz, where the trail follows a forest nature trail for a while.
