November 8, 2022,Altmühltal - Schlaufe 14 bei Eichstätt

Nice tour through the juniper heath in the Altmühltal.

The field of figures by the sculptor Alois Wunsche-Mitterecker is impressive, as is the 400-year-old Stations of the Cross with the linden avenue.

November 30, 2024,Altmühltal Traumschleife Nr.14 ☀️❄️

Today, with cold temperatures and lots of sunshine, I chose the dream loop 14 in the Altmühltal. It was okay, but there were very few highlights along the way. It was nice that everything was frozen and there were winter vibes.❄️☀️

Since everything never goes as planned and non-existent parking spaces, rain or empty gas bottles can get in the way, we still had 3 planned tours left for our last day. My Göga decided on the TraumSchlaufe 14 near Eichstätt.
This tour starts at the parking lot at the figure field, which impressed me a lot. Here you can let …

March 11, 2026,Naturpark Altmühltal: TraumSchlaufe Eichstätt

With an unsettled weather forecast, I headed back to Pfünz today, not to the impressive Roman fort, but towards Eichstätt to the equally fascinating sculpture field.

The hike began with a wonderful mix of sun and clouds, following narrow paths through the beautiful dry grassland slopes of the Altmühl Valley. The first pasqueflowers were already in bloom.
