Treuchtlingen

Tucked along the Altmühl in the southern Franconian Alb, Treuchtlingen is a town whose character is shaped by its river valley and limestone uplands. It lies within Altmühltal Nature Park, where a broad valley floor meets wooded slopes, setting it apart from Bavaria’s larger urban centres. Treuchtlingen is closely associated with the Fossa Carolina, or Karlsgraben: Charlemagne had this early medieval canal begun in 793 in an attempt to link the Rhine and Danube drainage basins via the Altmühl and Swabian Rezat. The Altmühltherme carries that connection with water into the present through its thermal baths, while rail routes make the town an accessible stop in central Franconia.
