Historic Old Town of Pappenheim

A small but charming town over which Pappenheim Castle towers. Pappenheim lies in a loop of the Altmühl. You should definitely take a tour here and visit the castle.

December 15, 2024,Treuchtlingen - Pappenheim: mein Weg 24

I fell in love with this hiking trail this year. So...one more time 🤪 before the year is over

January 23, 2026,Europäischer Fernwanderweg E8 Etappe 34 Pappenheim - Treuchtlingen

If you don't do thorough research and don't trust your instincts, but instead think, "It'll be fine," then you end up making a second trip to a stage only to find yourself without completing it. I wanted to do the one from Kastl to Stieglitzenhöhe. I abandoned it when I left the A6 near Lauterhofen; it was rather foggy and …

Heute gab es wieder nur ein kleines Zeitfenster. Der Wetterumschwung hat sich auch verzögert, es war ungemütlich, aber noch im Rahmen. Die Verbindung zwischen Pappenheim und Treuchtlingen ist problemlos jede Stunde möglich. Die Bahnsteige in Pappenheim sind minimalistisch, erfüllen ihren Zweck. Der Bahnhof Treuchtlingen ist ein bedeutender Eisenbahnknoten. Hier kreuzen sich die Strecken Treuchtlingen–Würzburg, München–Treuchtlingen (Altmühlbahn) sowie Donauwörth–Treuchtlingen und Treuchtlingen–Nürnberg. …

June 17, 2025,Altmühltal Panoramaweg - Treuchtlingen/Pappenheim

From Treuchtlingen to Pappenheim on the Altmühltal Panorama Trail...
The Altmühltal Panorama Trail is approximately 200 km long, starting in Gunzenhausen and ending in Kehlheim. For me, the trail started in Treuchtlingen, as I've already hiked the route from Gunzenhausen.
The tour isn't too long, but I wanted to see the town and, of course, the castle.
The castle houses …

Today a short walk (mostly) through the forest. Storks, herons and other animals. And there were a few flowers too. I would like to warmly recommend the Café Lebenskunst in Treuchtlingen. Tasty food and drinks, ingredients mainly from the region. The trademark of the café is dealing with and employing people with restricted mobility. Inclusion for those who want to …

Start at the train station: through the well-visited small town on the weekend - along the Altmühl out into the country. After a few meters of relaxed walk, you head uphill behind Dietfurt. Enjoy the view, take a few meters to breathe. Continue slightly uphill towards Pappenheim…we continue

July 13, 2025,Altmühltal Panoramaweg- Treuchtlingen bis Pappenheim

A fantastic stage awaits you on the Altmühltal Panorama Trail, from Treuchtlingen to Pappenheim.
It has it all: steep climbs, steps, forest and woodland paths. The Schambach stream and, of course, the Altmühl.
Finally, an espresso at Pappenheim Castle and then back on the DB train.
One of my favorite stages. (The next one, by the way, is also included, …
