The riverside path is easy to navigate throughout - and the elevation is low. It's great that the hiking and cycling paths are separate. There are plenty of restaurants on site. A trip to the surrounding villages is also worthwhile.

A very nice bike tour to be driven with easy-to-drive paths and no major inclines.

A wonderful tour in the best weather and only on cycle paths with no car traffic. The detour to the bird island was worth it. A final stop in the glorious evening sun at the beach restaurant in Schlungenhof. Great, highly recommended.

The Franconian Lake District
Extensive nature reserves, bird island with fascinating wildlife.
You can relax and enjoy the view of the lake on the cycle path, which partly runs directly along the lake shore. Water landscapes and forest paths alternate along the route.
Well signposted route.

One of the most beautiful routes is long but there is so much to see, time flies and kilometers too

Always nice to drive along the shores of the lakes.
The roads are good for everyone to ride.
The footpaths and cycle paths are separated from each other in most places.
There are many ways to get directly to the water.
There are plenty of rest areas to explore the lakes.

Have fun cycling!
