When one speaks of the Altmühltal Nature Park, it is somewhat confusing. Most people associate a valley with the flat floodplain landscape in a river valley. It is different here - deep forests and long chains of hills that you experience here as a hiker.
The first stage took me by car on the A6 from

Since the opening of the Iron Curtain, the district of Tirschenreuth has maintained a friendly relationship with its Czech neighbors in Tachov. German-Czech history is burdened by the past, and even today, monuments can still be found near the border, reminding us of former villages that were razed in

For breakfast, there was a yogurt from the self-service shop and a cup of cappuccino from a can - the kitchen didn't open until 11 am on Easter Sunday, and someone had used the last coffee pod in the self-service kitchen. I was a bit worried about the warning of strong, partly gusty winds in my weather

Short notice over Easter with the DB to Stuttgart. The bicycle reservation for the IC worked without any problems, so I only paid €17.09 with my Bahncard 25. Stuttgart 21, on the other hand, is a monster construction site and the traffic management around the station is quite provisional. From the start

The first hike of the year continued the Frankenweg from where we had left it last year in May: in Weißenburg/BY. The town dates back to a Roman settlement, there was among other things a cavalry castle and a thermal bath. The old town is also worth seeing; we first looked around before setting off,

As a small preparation for my adventure in the Black Forest next weekend, I wanted to ride a few HM in the local forests. East of Nuremberg there is plenty of both - forests and HM.
At N-Erlenstegen I left the Pegnitztal in the Sebalder Forst and took Kohlbuck and Haidberg, before Oedenberg and Günthersb

...I set off without any planning. In N-Schweinau, I crossed the Frankenschnellweg/MD-Kanal to go via Faberpark to Gerasmühle. In N-Eibach, I followed the railway until I was back at the MD-Kanal. South of Nuremberg, I went via N-Pillenreuth and Kornburg to Wendelstein. A stretch along the Schwarzach

But first, we both walk again. I, again, with a considerable lead. At 7 p.m. I look at the map again and realize that there are still about 4 km to the car. I could probably reach it by 8 p.m. to then drive to Treuchtlingen to load the bike. That way I would probably be back in Nuremberg by 9:30 p.m
