Hotels in Altmuhltal, Germany
Altmühltal is a river valley in Bavaria, Germany, famous for its dramatic limestone cliffs, fossil-rich quarries, and the Roman Limes border wall. The climate is continental, with warm summers (75°F/24°C) perfect for canoeing the Altmühl River or cycling the 200-kilometer Altmühltal Panorama Trail, and cold winters (30°F/-1°C) ideal for exploring the Solnhofen fossil beds-where the first Archaeopteryx was found-without the crowds. In spring and autumn, you can hike the multiple marked paths through the Juraspring gorges, while summer brings thermal swimming at the Tretzendorfer Weiher lake.
