Prunn Castle photo spot

Highlight • Viewpoint

There is a wonderful view of Prunn Castle from the bridge and from the shore in Einthal. You should definitely stop for a moment and enjoy the view of the proud weir high above the Altmühl.

Steep Stone Steps in the Klamm (Naturpark Altmühltal)

Highlight • Gorge

This is something you need to consider before setting off into the gorge: the ascent and descent to the viewing point in the gorge is very difficult, with varying step heights, slippery and in some places without any railings or possibility to hold on.

Klamm and Kastlhäng Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

In the "Klamm und Kastlhäng" nature reserve, the trail climbs steeply up steps to the mystical gorge. A path with stone steps and railings leads through a pristine rock labyrinth, forming part of the Altmühltal Panorama Trail. Narrow, rocky paths with a few climbing sections lead us to a viewpoint with magnificent views of Prunn Castle, the Altmühl Valley, and Riedenburg. A narrow path leads us out of the wildly romantic gorge and into the shady forests.

Stone Steps through the Klamm and Kastlhäng Nature Reserve

Highlight • Gorge

The “Klamm und Kastlhäng” nature reserve was designated in 1969 and, together with the “Schloss Prunn” nature reserve opposite, forms a beautiful hiking area. You hike and scramble through shady beech forests and there are always beautiful views from the outstanding rock pillars.

Oh that was fine.
Today we went hiking again, into the gorge.
I'm sure everyone can think of the children's reaction 😵😣😫🤮🤬
Funny, afterwards it was the complete opposite.
