The circular Route around Ingolstadt's quarry pond offers a relaxing way to explore nature right on the doorstep of the old town. The approximately 5-kilometre-long path leads along flat paths completely around the lake, which was created in the 1950s by gravel extraction. Along the way, numerous benches and sunbathing lawns invite to linger. A special highlight is the adjacent wildlife park, where bison, wild boars and red deer live in spacious enclosures. The path is well maintained and ideal for a leisurely afternoon stroll with the whole family.
