The narrow path winds through dense mixed forest and leads over natural passages with roots, small curves, and varied terrain. This creates the feeling of immersing yourself deep in a quiet and original forest landscape.

As one of the largest, oldest, and best-preserved castle complexes in Southern Germany, it still conveys an authentic impression of medieval life and architecture today. The first documented mention dates back to the year 1150, but finds prove that the castle hill was already settled much earlier.

The Goldburg once stood in the middle of the forest on a large hill. The depression that runs here is said to have marked its moat. The knights Lutz lived on it, to whom the place name Lutzingen is said to be attributed. Good story, right? It is. According to legend, the castle and its inhabitants and treasures are said to have sunk into the forest. With a little luck, you might find the gold.

The local history museum in Donauwörth is located in one of the oldest parts of the town. It is housed in the red house on Ried Island. The Härpfer family, who have been connected to the town's fishing history since 1434, once lived here. The museum displays religious folk art, crafts, and offers deep insights into the town's cultural history.

Many signs were very confusing, and then there was no location information at all, so we had to turn around and go back almost the same way.

The Minster of Our Lady is a Roman Catholic parish church in Donauwörth. It belongs to the parish community of Donauwörth in the Donauwörth deanery of the Diocese of Augsburg. The site of the present church was previously occupied by St. Ulrich's Church, built in the 11th century. Construction of the current three-aisled, late Gothic hall church began in 1444 under the city architect Hans Knebel. Brick was used as the building material. When a side aisle collapsed in the 13th year of construction, Hans Knebel had to relinquish responsibility for the building to Ulrich Walther of Augsburg, who completed the church. On December 4, 1467, after 23 years of construction, the church was consecrated by Jodok Seitz, Auxiliary Bishop of Augsburg. In 1607, the church was recatholicized. Until 1732, the minster's tower, which houses five bells, was adorned with a Gothic spire. However, this was destroyed twice by lightning strikes and replaced by a low pyramidal roof. In 1938, frescoes were uncovered that presumably date from the time of construction. During the air raids on Donauwörth towards the end of the Second World War on April 11 and 19, 1945, the Minster suffered severe damage. The west facade was ripped open by a high-explosive bomb, the star vaults and tracery windows in the chancel were partially destroyed, the Herrgottsruhe Chapel was completely destroyed, and the Gothic tabernacle was severely damaged. Initial stabilization work was carried out in 1945, and restoration work was carried out by the Siebinger company until 1952. In 1953, the tower was restored, including the removal of the plaster. Exterior renovations took place from 1981 to 1986 and again in 2012. The last interior renovation was carried out from 1987 to 1991; during this time, the high altar with an ambo made of gray shell limestone was created by the sculptor Franz Hämmerle from Windach. The 57-meter-high church tower can be climbed as part of a guided tour, ascending 218 steps to the viewing gallery at the tower keeper's room.
