Altmühltal Tag 3 (Möhren/Treuchtlingen - Kipfenberg)

A stage straight out of a travel brochure, simply beautiful. You wind through the Altmühl valley, flanked by weathered limestone pillars. The best known of these are the so-called '12 Apostles'. Passing through the towns often invites you to linger; many old and venerable buildings can be admired. Along the entire route you'll repeatedly find old castles and palaces to admire. Here you can experience history, if you wish, including that of the ancient Germans and Romans. At the end of this stage you'll find remnants of the Limes, the ancient border wall.
