Riedenburg Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

The city of Riedenburg is located in the Altmühltal between Kehlheim and Beilngries. The Altmühl Panoramaweg leads directly through the recognized health resort. In a historic setting (first mentioned in 1111), the traveler can spend a break here and strengthen themselves. Museums, churches and other attractions delight the culturally interested. A special highlight is the medieval festival, which takes place every two years. For the maintenance of the fluid balance, the two local breweries offer themselves.

View of Schloss Eggersberg

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!

View of Flügelsberg Castle Ruins

Highlight • Viewpoint

The former Flugelberg Castle in the Meihern district of Riedenburg was the seat of the Flügelsberg taverns in the 13th century.

The Flügelsberg Castle was probably built at the beginning of the 12th century, at least the castle was first mentioned in 1228. In 1290 the castle was severely damaged in a dispute between the Bavarian dukes. In the 15th century, the castle of Flügelsberg came into the possession of the Murach family, who, as robber barons, made the imperial city of Nuremberg their enemy.
As a result, Nuremberg went to war against the Murachers in 1446 and destroyed the castle. The castle was later rebuilt and came into the possession of the Parsbergs through marriage. During the Löwler War, the castle was robbed in 1492 by Duke Albrecht of Bavaria and destroyed again.
In the 16th century a castle was built on the hilltop that collapsed in the 19th century. Today only a few remnants of the ring wall from the 12th and 16th centuries can be seen from the Flügelsberg Castle.

Beilngries Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Beilngries is a popular destination for the Altmühltal Panoramaweg and the Altmühl cycle path. Idyllically located on the Altmühl the cyclist can take a well earned break here. The first documentary mention took place in 1007. There is much to discover, such as: For example, Hirschberg Castle, the Church of St. Walburga, half-timbered houses and historic aircraft at the airfield Beilngries.
A variety of restaurants and accommodation round off the offer.
