Burgstein (Dollnstein)

Highlight • Natural Monument

Here is a nice rest area with information boards and a little shade. The rock formations are great to look at and give the area a characteristic look and an almost bizarre ambience. The practically vertically sloping Burgstein is a popular training area for climbers, which is also often used and probably has a lot of difficulties to offer. Watching the boys and girls climbing up is sometimes breathtaking and you're literally worried that nothing will happen and you keep your fingers crossed for success.

Nice bike path! Runs mostly on the old railway line, well developed and signposted. Experience the Altmühltal, visit the places and stop off at the Gasthof zum Hirschen in Wasserzell and eat well - great! Then finally an espresso in the café in Dollenstein.

Burgsteinfelsen near Dollnstein

Highlight • Natural Monument

The dry slopes near Dollnstein are part of a nature reserve. The imposing Burgstein rock is one of the most famous rock formations in the Altmühl Valley. The 45-meter-high rock is not only a beautiful subject for photographs but also a paradise for climbers. The Burgstein rock is also number three on Bavaria's list of the 100 most beautiful geotopes.

Burgsteinfelsen near Dollnstein

Highlight • Natural Monument

The tower-like rock is one of the most beautiful Bavarian geotopes - selected by the Bavarian Geological State Office. The distinctive rock formation of the castle stone is part of a limestone platform, which was deposited in a subtropical shallow sea during the Upper Jurassic period.

Dollnstein Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

The picturesque Dollnstein is located in the Altmühltal Nature Park at the beginning of the Urdonautal. The two rivers, which are now called Altmühl and Danube, created the wide, particularly charming Dollnstein valley basin through their erosion work at their confluence.

A very beautiful section of the Altmühl Valley Cycle Path. On one side, the tranquil Altmühl River, and on the other, high cliffs. The natural beauty here is truly breathtaking.
