From Ludwig's small riverfront castle at this tranquil Villapark to the park path around the outskirts of the Old City Wall starting at Villapark, this was a great afternoon walk. Villapark and the rest of the ring park walk was a shaded stroll through trees on gravel paths. It was a great way to stretch our legs and enjoy a bit of nature in a city setting. To get there, we walked off our riverboat and went along the river to the Villapark on the east end of the old city wall, where King Ludwig built a small castle on the water at the edge of town. The path starts in Villapark. Just follow the gravel paths as they wind along the city wall. The ring walk is a half circle and is about 2 miles long with another mile of pathway along the river to complete the “circle”. The small but impressive Thurn and Taxis Palace grounds are at the midpoint of the ring. The grounds were not open to the public to walk through when we were there, so we had to walk around the outside. Next to the palace was the old St. Emmeram Abbey, with a small area open to the public and some quaint and interesting niches to see inside the courtyard and behind the main buildings (the main buildings were not open when we were there). It was well worth the short side trip to see the abbey before continuing on the park ring paths and it is rumored that it is a very large abbey rivaling the size of a large palace, but we couldn’t tell from what we saw. At the end of the half ring (the west end of the old city wall) was a small but lovely garden and was a nice way to finish the walk before taking the river path back to our riverboat. If we had known more about the abbey, we would have scheduled more time to spend there investigating its rumored size. This jaunt out was a nice find.
