Walking in the footsteps of faith: The Wallfahrerweg, or pilgrimage road, takes you to impressive testimonies of the Christian faith in the Altmühltal Nature Park. Under the care of the bishop's staff, spirituality and a soft natural landscape are brought together here. Along the way you will find beautiful places of pilgrimage and convincing expressions of faith. You can also enjoy the unique natural landscape of the Altmühl-Jura region. Mighty limestone cliffs, wildly romantic river valleys, sunny high plains, shady forests and picturesque slopes make the walk on the Wallfahrerweg a relaxing journey of reflection. The churches provide a resting point on the route, while you can recharge your batteries in the cozy restaurants in the historic villages and towns.
Over about 130 kilometres, the Wallfahrerweg connects Breitenbrunn on the eastern side of the nature park with Wemding in the west. Sacred high buildings such as the Eichstätter Dom or the monastery of Plankstetten, chapels and road crosses surround you.
