A very nice tour along the Altmühl.
You can park and start very easily at the jetty in Kelheim.
In Riedenburg, the ice cream parlor calls for a short break.
And since it was a flat and easy round, you have to drive up to the Liberation Hall at the end. Luckily the road goes through forest and it was …

Fantastic route always along the Altmühl. Some great little towns with nice restaurants. Lots of cyclists traveling in both directions.

When the sun is shining 🌞 in the Altmühltal - what more could you want? The tourists haven't quite woken up from hibernation yet - but the shipping has begun. In the larger towns you have to drive very carefully. And at the pier in Dietfurt, the pair of Wienerle with a roll costs an impressive 6.20 euros 💶

That's why I love Komoot. You simply follow tours that others have already done and shared with others. Parking at Pflegerspitz is free and the tour is by the water most of the time, which has a relaxing effect. When the weather is nice, it's an easy tour to relax on 😀 💘
