Fun for Everyone on the Altmühl

Each leg has its own charm: just think about the impressive rocks called “12 Apostles” near Solnhofen and the picturesque nature reserve of the Gungolding heathlands dotted with junipers.

The Altmühl is practicable for 154 km that you can divide into legs of different length. Besides practising sport, you can relax in the Nature... and then end your canoeing day with a romantic dinner sitting round the fire by the river.

Enjoy your holiday!

Canoeing in the Danube Valley

Between Vohburg and Kelheim till Bad Abbach also the Danube can be explored in a canoe or a different boat. This section of the river is particularly charming because of its unique landscape, which is definitely well worth preserving. But also, the fast-flowing water (8 km/h) is alluring.
