Wörnitz bridge near Ruffenhofen

Highlight • River

A very natural river. Slow-flowing. Water lily pads are found almost everywhere. You'll probably spot many animals with binoculars.

June 17, 2022,Dinkelsbühler Achterradtour - Tag 2: von Dinkelsbühl ins Ries nach Oettingen und an der Wörnitz über Wassertrüdingen zurück

On the second day, the Ostschleife was driven. The route initially led in the Wörnitztal to Willburgstetten and then over two large hills to the northern edge of the Rieser crater. In the Ries we went past Oettingen to Megesheim for a lunch break. From Oettingen the route ran along the Wörnitz via Wassertrüdingen back to Dinkelsbühl.
