Eichstätter Panoramaweg (Eichstätt Panorama Trail): No. 7 – Altmühltal Nature Park

When we left Ingolstadt the sun was shining... unfortunately it hadn't fully arrived in Eichstätt yet. But it was. In the end it was really beautiful. I've done loop 7 several times, at different times of the year. Hiking had fallen a little behind recently, so a well-known tour with not too much elevation and distance was just right. 😉

Today another hike around Eichstätt. Hiking trail number 7 also called the panoramic trail. This starts from the train station in Eichstätt, briefly through the city past the cathedral and Notre Dame, and then straight up. It then goes constantly uphill over a path and narrow paths. Here you can enjoy the great view of the city of Eichstätt and Willibaldsburg. The path leads on the east side, past a hazelnut plantation around Eichstätt and you descend at the Hotel Schönblick and cross the B13. Here you can also take a detour to the Colera Cross. Then it goes down a path carved into the rock You cross a street and the railway line and then climb up again, past the mighty castle wall, to Willibaldsburg. From there we continue to the chapel on Frauenberg with a magnificent view. There is a Staufer monument in front of the chapel. The bishop with the three Staufer lions, which can also be found in the state coat of arms of BW. Then we continue across the plateau to the KultURwald. This path goes back down and up through the natural cultural forest.

Yesterday my husband redeemed his birthday present 🎁, the Panoramaweg in Eichstätt. It was wonderful. Such a great landscape. Unfortunately we could not visit the cathedral. But it will look all the more beautiful next year with new splendor... It's great where we can go everywhere thanks to the birthday presents. 🤗 At the end we got a delicious meal from the son 🧋🥗 at the Greek. The piece of Altmühltal that we saw is as beautiful as Iris always described. 😄🙋🏼‍♀️

A beautiful circular hiking trail around the episcopal city of Eichstätt. We start at the train station through the city center with its many baroque buildings. Short but steep ascent on the outskirts. At the top you will be rewarded with fantastic views of Eichstätt. A new look at every turn. At the end of the high path it goes steeply and steadily back down into the valley. You always have the Willibaldsburg in view. After the valley comes the mountain. So again uphill to the castle. We go around this and see the Rebdorf monastery in the next valley. Gigantic. It continues uphill and ends in dry grass slopes. Typical for Eichstätt and the surrounding area. Just beautiful. After we have passed a large flock of sheep, we see the baroque Frauenberg chapel in the distance. We continued on the Way of the Cross through a chestnut avenue into the KultURwald. An old natural beech forest with a lot of dead wood. It leads us back to the Eichstätter train station, our starting point. Conclusion: Another nice hike in the Altmühltal. Moderate hike. Sturdy shoes and surefootedness should be available.

Nice path around Eichstätt. Always beautiful views of Eichstätt

Unfortunately, the promised sun 🌞 let us down.

A dream, the tour. Despite rain and thunderstorms on the first third. Amazing view, varied paths and sometimes that jungle feeling. Especially then in the KultUrwald 🙂 Then also met 2 Komoot beginners from Aachen. For the time being they only use the free version, but I did some advertising 😂

In wonderful weather we went on hiking trail 7 around Eichstätt today 🌞 great varied hiking trail.
