Kallmünz

Kallmünz is a market municipality in Regensburg district situated at 344 meters elevation with castle ruins standing on a cliff overlooking the Naab River. An old stone bridge spans the river and forms a distinctive part of the town's character.

The castle fortifications trace back to the Bronze Age and served as a strategically important position in the region for centuries. The settlement that grew around it eventually gained market town status.

The town keeps Upper Palatinate traditions alive through local celebrations and the old town's architecture and design. These customs shape how the place looks and feels when you walk through it.

The town is best explored on foot, with several hiking trails starting from here and leading through the surrounding area. Restaurants serving regional food and lodging options within walking distance of the center make a visit convenient.

During summer 1903, painters Wassily Kandinsky and Gabriele Münter founded an art colony here that became an important gathering place for artists and creative experimentation. This artistic connection left cultural marks on the town.
