Old Weir on the Altmühl

The old canal is romantic and very natural, with small tree-lined avenues and the old locks! It recreates the atmosphere of bygone times.

August 8, 2021,10. Sommerradtour 2021 - Von Eichstätt nach Riedenburg

Today's tour was again flat and easy to cycle. First close to the Altmühl and later far away or not at all in the classic sense. The Altmühl flows into the Main-Danube Canal near Dietfurt, the course of which is now to be followed. You also pass an old section of the König-Ludwig-Donau-Main Canal, which has probably become too small …

May 31, 2022,Altmühltal-Radweg, 4. Etappe

A beautiful flatland tour, in which juicy climbs are built again and again. E.g. the 20% up to the Roman fort Pfünz. But mostly it is flat through the cozy Altmühltal. The Altmühl flows into the Main-Danube Canal near Dietfurt, but there are still enough backwaters for natural habitats. There are also countless monuments and architectural highlights to discover.

A varied stage, also exhausting. Also, the weather didn't quite play along.
one or the other shower forced us to assume.
a few short climbs and yes, the many discussions with my wife about whether it is the right route.
was probably due to the weather.
but when I arrived at the campsite in riedenburg and my wife was able …

August 24, 2023,Altmühltalradweg - Tag 3 - Von Eichstätt nach Essing.

After Eichstätt the valley widens again. Partly the path leads along the edge of the valley, but then it is well shaded by the small woods located there. At the latest after the A9, the townscape and landscape change. Now the Upper Palatinate has been reached.
This is followed by the Kratzmühlsee, which invites you to swim, as well as …
