Hotels in Altmühltal, Germany

Altmühltal is a river valley in Bavaria, Germany, with a temperate climate-summers average 70°F (21°C), perfect for cycling or canoeing the Altmühl River, while winters drop to 30°F (-1°C) and are great for hiking the rugged limestone cliffs along the Limes, a UNESCO Roman frontier. This region is famous for its Jurassic fossils and medieval towns like Eichstätt, where you can paddle through the Solnhofen Eichstätt quarry area or explore the 2,000-year-old Roman fort at Pfünz. In the upper valley, narrow gorges and towering rocks make for serious climbing, while the lower valley's wider floodplains are ideal for relaxed biking on the Altmühl Cycle Path.
