View of Rothsee from Dammstrasse Viewing Platform

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here you get a nice impression of the size of the fore and main dam of the artificial Rothsee. While the fore dam to the north is more natural, the main dam is more visible as an intrusion into the landscape. Both sides are charming in their own way

Historic Old Town of Hilpoltstein

Highlight • Historical Site

Nice place - the cobblestones are very pleasant to drive. It is also worth making a longer stop here to admire the castle

Historic Town Center of Hilpoltstein

Highlight • Historical Site

A beautiful city - as soon as you have left the city ring road (it's generally good to cycle here, many cycle paths) you get to a small inner city that is typically Franconian

The beginnings of Hilpoltstein Castle and the town date back to the 10th century. In the 13th and 14th centuries the castle was the seat of the Lords of Stein. In 1354 Hilpoltstein was granted city rights. Two years later, Schweiger von Gundelfingen sold the castle and town of Hilpoltstein to the Wittelsbach dukes Stephan, Johann and Friedrich. When the duchy was divided, Hilpoltstein became part of Bavaria-Ingolstadt. In 1392 Duke Stephan confirmed the city rights.

Main-Danube Canal at Rothsee

Highlight • River

Here, the canal looks much nicer than in Fürth and Nuremberg. There's even a campsite here.

July 18, 2021,Wettkampf Rothsee (leider Verfahren)

Competition as a substitute for the BR Frankenstaffel. Unfortunately I took a wrong turn at km 25. Cycled straight downhill. Well, I had to get it all up again. We were about 2km detour and about 5min extra time. Otherwise a good result would have been possible.
But respect to my swimmers Sabrina and Olli, who did a top run …
