The picturesque village is located at the beginning of the Urdonautal in the Altmühltal Nature Park. The erosive force of the Altmühl and Danube rivers has created the attractive Dollnstein valley basin here. Discover the castle built in the 12th century, once the residence of the poet Wolfram von Eschenbach. Today it houses the “Altmühl Center Castle Dollnstein” with tourist information and a fascinating exhibition about the castles of the Altmühltal and the history of the river. Admire the Dollnstein Treasure, found during excavations in 2007, and experience the beauty of Heinrich Ullmann’s landscape paintings. Enjoy numerous leisure activities and the unique atmosphere of this historic place in the heart of the Altmühltal.
