Detailed report
Geotopes with stunning rock formations and mysterious caves, dry grassland landscapes, wet meadows, extensive
mixed forests and rare juniper heathland are fascinating attractions for visitors coming to Altmühltal nature park. The
discovery of fossils of famous Archaeopteryx, a primeval bird which lived in the region about 150 million years ago,
has been of huge significance. The region around “Bavaria’s geographical center” offers nature trails, hiking paths,
bike and boat trails, fossil quarries for amateur collectors, but also convention and training centers on almost 3,000
square kilometers. Treasure hunters, time travelers and people seeking relaxation travel even longer distances in this
region, in totally sustainable and resource-conserving style: part of the tourism infrastructure of hotels and restaurants
is the great innovation in mobility: the “e-altmuehltal“ public e-carsharing project. Hotel manager Josef Geyer founded
the project in 2016 with two BMW i3 cars in Pfahldorf and Eichstätt.
