Berching was probably continuously inhabited since the Neolithic period. Market law has existed since 1245. Berching calls itself a “gem of the Middle Ages”. The well-preserved old town wall with four city gates and thirteen towers dates from the 14th and 15th centuries. The park areas beyond the impressive, medieval fortifications are beautifully laid out.

Worth seeing are the Chinese Tower, the Powder Tower and the Neumarkter Torturm, the historic town hall, the Zehntstadel, the parish church of the Assumption of Mary, the “Old Parish Church” of St. Lorenz in the suburb and the pilgrimage church of Maria Hilf on the southern outskirts of the city. The city is also known for its annual Rossmarkt, where politicians give pithy speeches.

Berching Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Berching is definitely worth a visit. Between the old and the new canal + the Sulz river!

We stayed at the "Blaue Traube" hotel (bike garage available), which is recommended both as a hotel and as a restaurant.

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.

Beilngries Old Town and St. Walburga Church

Highlight • Settlement

Beilngries boasts a beautiful old town that invites you to stroll around. Hirschberg Castle is another highlight. This building, now used as a conference center, sits perched on a mountain spur high above the town. The castle courtyard is open to the public and well worth a visit.

Another interesting attraction in Beilngries is the Brewery Museum, located in an underground rock labyrinth.

Admission is five euros. The museum is open every Sunday from 10:30 a.m. from April to October 31st. In August, it is also open on Thursdays.

Highlight • River

A lovely route to ride along the meandering "Weiße Laber". The route runs idyllically along the river meadows on a section with varied landscapes.

Great tour, mostly well signposted. But at Breitenbrunn the signs are missing or misleading. We drove on the road to Dürn, then towards Staadorf - here the signs are there again. The route leads through the valley, but becomes steeper after Breitenbrunn - with noticeable climbs - we were grateful that we were on an e-bike - and beautiful long …

Today I treated myself to another water bike tour, starting in Berching; there's plenty of free parking at the former boat pier. The itinerary included a relaxing bike ride through the floodplains of the meandering White Laber River, through the beautiful Altmühl Valley, and along the waterway of the Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal. Of course, a visit to the historic towns of …
