Walking on the paths of Eichstätt enables us not only to experience the beautiful nature but also gives us the opportunity to explore the city from one of its highest point - Willibaldsburg.
From the starting point we first need to pass the Burgstraße to reach the walking path to "Willibaldsburg". Up the hill it offers us the beautiful scenary of the city. Inside the area of the castle we can enjoy walking in the Bastionsgarten with different plants and flowers.
After visiting the inside of the castle, the Jura-Museum and the Burgschänke the next attraction point is the "Frauenberg Kapelle", which you can see from the inside as well. It's also a good place with a nice view to make a break because there are some benches. In addition to that, there is a public toilet. Close to the Kapelle there is a large grass-covered area, where children can play. To get back to the city centre or train station you can follow a beautiful natural path through the forest until you reach a big road within a residential area. Now you can go into the city centre, where you can visit some churches. All in all, it's a simple hiking tour, which you can pass with your family.
