Max-Schultze-Steig, Nature reserve in Regensburg and Pentling, Germany.

The Max-Schultze-Steig extends over 2.2 kilometers along the right bank of the Danube River, featuring twenty limestone rock formations reaching heights of 20 meters.

In 1906, civil engineer Max Schultze purchased eleven plots of land to prevent limestone mining, later donating them to Regensburg in 1912 for permanent conservation.

The reserve contains thirty small caves, including the Carl-Wilhelm-von-Gümbel cave, which holds substantial geological importance for the region of Bavaria.

Visitors must stay on marked paths throughout the protected area, and bicycle riding is prohibited to prevent soil erosion and protect the natural environment.

The Hoppefelsen rock formation received its name from botanist David Heinrich Hoppe, who found shelter there during a storm in 1789.
