Amberg's "Stadtbrille"

Highlight • Bridge

Always a beautiful sight and highlight of every city tour. The two arches are reflected in the water of the Vils and thus result in the well-known "Amberger Stadtbrille".

May 17, 2024,Fünf-Flüsse-Radweg 🏞️ Etappe 1: Nürnberg - Amberg

For our 4-day bike tour this year, we chose the 5-rivers cycle path. The tour, which is around 300 km long, connects the river valleys of Pegnitz, Vils, Naab, Danube and Altmühl.

Our starting point was Nuremberg. From here, the first 40 km went along river No. 1, the Pegnitz. The next few kilometers to the European main watershed were …

August 30, 2022,Fünf-Flüsse-Radweg: 3. Etappe: Nürnberg-Amberg🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️☀️

The route out of Nuremberg was really nice (lots of greenery) and the run is worth seeing. Otherwise, today's stage wasn't quite as convincing. However, it is interesting to be a tourist in my old hometown of Amberg. It's still beautiful here 😃, even after more than 40 years!

June 18, 2023,Nürnberg - Lauf an der Pegnitz- Amberg

Out of Nuremberg on a beautiful route along the Pegnitz and through the park at the Wöhrder See. Continue via Lauf an der Pegnitz and Sulzbach-Rosenberg with pretty town centers. The route itself is then rather unspectacular to Amberg, a town worth seeing with a closed old town and town fortifications. It's the old town festival right now: lots of …

Today was the last day of our bike trip.
It is also really nice to drive from Nuremberg to Amberg. Here, as on the other days, it is almost always off the main roads. Since there was a lot of asphalt to drive today, the inclines and beautiful descents could be mastered well.
We particularly liked the small town of …

September 27, 2024,Fünf-Flüsse-Radweg - Teil 6 - Amberg - Nürnberg - (Regen-)Rekord (Tonopah-t240927)

The weather app had predicted a rain-free day and we planned to complete this last stage of the round trip up to about km 40 or 60 and then do the rest by S-Bahn. After a well-timed rest (the unplanned rain started just as we sat down) and a good meal, we were overcome with ambition. We considered riding all …
