The Jura Trail is a 237-kilo­met­re cir­cu­lar hiking trail that invi­tes you to explo­re Bava­ria’s impres­si­ve low moun­tain ran­ge land­scape. On natu­ral paths, you will dis­co­ver a diver­si­ty that is second to none: pic­tures­que river val­leys, Medi­ter­ra­ne­an-style karst land­scapes, fra­grant juni­per heaths and shady forests. His­to­ri­cal tre­asu­res such as old cast­les, monas­te­ries and impo­sing rock for­ma­ti­ons line the rou­te and make every stage an expe­ri­ence. The flo­ra and fau­na will also delight you: with a bit of luck, you may encoun­ter rare spe­ci­es such as pere­gri­ne fal­cons and king­fi­shers or dis­co­ver orchi­ds, qua­king grass and many other bota­ni­cal high­lights. Thanks to con­ti­nuous sign­pos­ting and num­e­rous refresh­ment stops, every hike is pure joy. We offer the Jura Trail divi­ded into an east and west rou­te. The eas­tern rou­te starts in Eils­brunn and takes you to Dei­ning in seven unfor­gettable stages. Look for­ward to a very spe­cial natu­re expe­ri­ence in the Bava­ri­an Jura.
