Different characteristics today: rocks left and right, a real valley.

Altmühl cycle path in clouds and rain. Nevertheless, numerous cyclists on the way. The steam locomotive in Treuchtlingen was once a Fleischmann model. Eichstätt is well worth seeing with its many baroque buildings. With the weather, it's only moderate fun. However, the cakes at Café Fuchs are recommended 😋

Today we drove a leisurely 53 km to Eichstätt. We waited out the downpour in the closed beer garden and were still served. 👍🏻😀 At the bat in Pappenheim Castle, no one could tell us whether it was just sleeping or dead. 🤔. The rock formation is called the 12 Apostles.

Now the valley feeling begins. Always along the Altmühl. Gorgeous area. The weather is still kind to us, only small little cottages with a pleasant temperature. You can bear that. Tomorrow a rest day for the bikes
