The baroque bishop and university town in the heart of Altmühltal is impressed by their completely preserved Baroque city, many magnificent churches and monasteries, historic gardens and landmarks - the Willibaldsburg. Eichstätt is a splendid city full of contrasts. The multilayered Altmühl city makes her slogan credit. Like a treasure chest spreads from Eichstätt to the coils of the Altmühl. This glittering treasures of thousands of years: prehistoric fossil witnesses as the Urvogel Archeopteryx, holy relics, powerful prince-bishops with a passion for flower gardens, the art of baroque architect or the award-winning ideas of modern architecture. Aristocratic elegance and grace pervade Eichstätt sweeping streets - baroque colors glow in lovely homes, churches and Domherrenhöfe.
Another highlight is the bastion garden. On the Eichstaetter Willibaldsburg a garden is created, the forerunner of the famous 17th - Century recalls. Here visitors can discover many of the original flora of the garden.
