Dietfurt Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

Actually a very nice place with wonderfully restored houses. The fountain also comes into its own. The very heavy traffic is annoying. Unfortunately, the catering is also neglected. But it wouldn't be fun even with the traffic.

Old Weir on the Altmühl

Highlight • Structure

The old canal is romantic and very natural, with small tree-lined avenues and the old locks! It recreates the atmosphere of bygone times.

There is a wonderful view of Prunn Castle from the bridge and from the shore in Einthal. You should definitely stop for a moment and enjoy the view of the proud weir high above the Altmühl.

We took another lovely tour today. Bavaria is absolutely beautiful.

In the morning we went straight up to the center of Bavaria. If you're already there...
Continue Kinding to Beilngries. There was a triathlon there, so we couldn't go to the old town... past the Beilngries sports airport, on to Dietfurt a.d. Altmühl... in the beautiful town of Riedenburg. We had lunch with spinach dumplings and drove on to Essing …

Last stage! After the last few kilometers in sub-zero temperatures, we board the train near Saal. Conclusion: A great stage tour on routes that are very busy in summer. This time I only met 3 cyclists. Why actually 😉? Cycling in this weather in particular is a bit fascinating 🥶🥶🥶😇.

Yesterday it was the Danube, today it's the Altmühl we're following. We start in Kelheim in the rain, so we can barely enjoy the scenery. We repeatedly come across the remains of the King Ludwig Canal, which you wouldn't reach on a hike along the Panorama Trail. It's an easy bike path with plenty of scenery.

Beautiful tour through the picturesque Altmühl valley. The river is actually blue in some places, and its many groynes and side canals make it something special. The most beautiful place is Beilngries. It would definitely be worth staying there for a longer period.

After we drove along the Danube yesterday, today we go to the Altmühl.
We cross the Altmühl and the Danube over the Europabrücke, drive over the great pedestrian bridge in Kelheim and then we walk the whole day along the Altmühltal cycle path and the Main-Danube Canal. Great bike path, but unfortunately wind again and an occasional short rain shower …

Today we did a 70km bike ride from the Kratzmühle Altmühltal campsite to Kehlheim, with the intention of taking a trip on the Danube to Weltenburg Abbey from there. However, the boat had just left and it would have been too late for the rest of the trip to the campsite. So we continued on to Saal an der Donau …

Day 6: a rewarding descent, beautiful biotopes, and finally, the confluence of the Altmühl and the Danube.

After breakfast, we were looking forward to the steep descent as compensation for yesterday's final climb. 😂

Back in the valley, the cycle path leads, as usual, through small towns, always along the river.
