Alternatively, you can cycle along the old Ludwig Danube Canal.
Before that, of course, you have to take the train ferry across.
The landscape is very beautiful and definitely worth exploring.

Even if you don't have to go over there. You have to have fun.

The crossing is not necessary, as the paths meet 500m further. But it's really fun 👍🏻😎

between Dietfurt/Griesstetten and Mühlbach is the small hand ferry across the Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal. A very special highlight for hikers, cyclists and especially children 😃

Here you can cross the Altmühl by raft. But you don't have to, because there is a bridge a few hundred meters away. The kids definitely found the raft more exciting 😁

It is easy to overlook the ferry. It is best to mark it beforehand in the Komoot app and then pay attention to the small W3 sign. Definitely worth it, especially for children.

Ferry to drive yourself - is also fun for big children - again and again :-)

Just great, the translation with the ferry by muscle power. This is fun for small and big "kids" :-)

It's fascinating how the modern Main-Donal Canal cut through the historic Ludwig Mai-Donau Canal. It preserved the old Arms on both sides. As no boats need to pass through the dead arm, a manual ferry was installed to connect the bike trail on the separating dike with the main trail on the opposite side.
