Very beautiful side valley of the Altmühltal. The cycle path is very well maintained and, above all, significantly less frequented than the Altmühltal cycle path.

The city wall includes five gates with four gate towers (Baldinger Torturm collapsed in 1703), eleven further towers, and two bastions. Construction of the city wall began in 1327 by order of Louis the Bavarian.
