Best partially-paved trails in Essing

This route is stage 15—the final stage—of the Altmühltal-Panoramaweg, a long-distance trail in Bavaria. This segment leads from historic Essing along dramatic Jura cliffs through the Weltenburger Enge nature reserve to Kelheim. A major highlight is the detour to Weltenburg Abbey, the oldest monastery in Bavaria. Hikers can cross the Danube by ferry before ascending to the iconic Liberation Hall (Befreiungshalle) on Mount Michelsberg, which offers expansive views over Kelheim. Overnight stays...

The ascent to the caves takes place over more or less beautiful steps. At the top you can then explore the various caves. There is also a bat cave that you can enter. Take a torch with you! After the caves you enter the second longest wooden bridge in DE, the Tatzelwurm. The last descent over a beaten path is then very steep, here it is better not to go down when it is wet, it was adventurous enough when it was dry.
