The Gredl Railway once ran from Greding via Thalmässing and Heideck to Hilpoltstein. Today, cyclists travel along its former route. Several milestones and information boards along the scenic route provide insight into the railway's history. From Greding, follow the Gredl Cycle Path signs, past the Beaver Nature Trail, to Thalmässing. Continuing toward Steindl, cyclists pass the highest point of the route on the European Watershed: From here, the water flows south into the Black Sea and north into the North Sea. The reward for the climb is a magnificent view. The route continues through pine forests to Heideck before reaching the lowest point of the tour at the Schweizermühle (Swiss Mill). From here, it's not far to the castle town of Hilpoltstein. Tip: Just 1.5 km from Hilpoltstein, Lake Rothsee invites you to swim and enjoy water sports. Distance: 30 km Ride time: approx. 3 hours Category: Recreational cyclist, e-bike Trail surface: Paved cycle path

There are still many beautiful views to be had; the entire Altmühl Valley Cycle Path is worth a bike ride. Ideally, a multi-day tour.
