In 2 hours through 3 administrative districts. Upper Bavaria, Upper Palatinate and Lower Bavaria. Already great!

The Altmühl rises in the Ansbach district, near the border with the Neustadt an der Aisch - Bad Windsheim district near Burgbernheim.
It is 234 km long and flows into the Danube near Kelheim.
The Altmühl is divided into three main sections. The upper third, from the source to Lake Altmühl, is characterized by a broad valley in a hilly landscape, the Keuper Formation. The Middle Altmühl, between Gunzenhausen and Treuchtlingen in the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district, is characterized by a flat meadow landscape.

From Treuchtlingen, the Altmühl flows through the Franconian Jurassic rock in a narrow valley with striking rock formations. The last section of the Altmühl, from Dietfurt to Kelheim, is approximately 34 km long and has been developed into the Main-Danube Canal and is a federal waterway.
