Hiking
The Drei-Burgen-Steig in Riedenburg in the middle of the Altmühltal is a breathtakingly beautiful circular hiking trail that leads you to the castle ruins of Tachenstein and Rabenstein and to the Rosenburg with falconry. In addition, you will learn interesting facts about the history, nature and geology of the region from seven information boards.
Not to be forgotten are the many vantage points that you will pass along the way. A magnificent panorama of the region and the river opens up in front of you again and again.
If you still have time and desire after the tour, you can end the day with a visit to the three-castle city of Riedenburg and the Crystal Museum. In the museum you can admire, among other things, the largest mountain crystal group in the world.

We just wanted to do a bit of shopping in Riedenburg. After an iced coffee, we wanted to go for a walk. Unfortunately, we were wearing the wrong shoes... sandals. Totally unsuitable! Never again 🙈
Still, it was beautiful up by the castles again. Great hike. I highly recommend it.
