Very nice bike path

Wonderful bathing oasis on hot summer days.

Great for a mini detour from the official route.

The St. Agatha bathing lake is great for a quick jump into the water...

Great bike path! Easy to drive and a lot to look at.

Behind Dietfurth it got really steep for a moment and we had to go up there!

At the idyllically situated St. Agatha bathing lake in the Haidhof district, cooling off and swimming fun are guaranteed on hot summer days. Beautiful lawns invite you to linger. The bathing lake is supervised by the water rescue service on weekends during the season. A large parking lot (fees apply on weekends) is available. Unfortunately, barbecues, camping, and overnight stays are not permitted at St. Agatha bathing lake. Dogs are not allowed from May to September. St. Agatha bathing lake is listed as an EU bathing water, and the Kelheim Health Department monitors its water quality. A total of six water samples are taken and published during the summer months. https://www.naturpark-altmuehltal.de/freizeit/a-z/badesee_st_agatha-2297/

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.
