About Riedenburg
Riedenburg is a town of about 6,100 people at 360 metres on the Altmühl, 16 km north-west of Kelheim and 29 km north-east of Ingolstadt. It lies on the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal and inside the Altmühltal Nature Park. Schloss Rosenburg stands on a hill above the town, probably built in the second half of the 12th century, and its falcon farm, founded in 1978, runs bird-of-prey flight shows; entry to the courtyard is paid. Prunn Castle is also in Riedenburg. Our homes sit together at one spot. They are mostly small, for around four people with two bedrooms, and almost none has a pool. Few list wifi, so check if you need it.

When to go to Riedenburg
The Solnhofen hobby quarry opens from late March to late October, which is a fair guide to the main season. The Rosenburg falcon shows keep their own hours, so check before you go.
