Brombachsee Lakeside Trail

Highlight • Trail

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.

Highlight • Cycleway

The path between Trommetsheim and Gundelsheim is flat and very easy to cycle on. Here you can let your bike roll and enjoy the beautiful panorama of the Altmühl Valley.

What looks easy was actually strenuous. 20 km through open farmland to the southeast with a strong headwind. We were grateful for our electric assistance. (Such weather conditions are rare, though.) Weissenburg is a must-see among the pretty little towns. If you're up for it, you should take a detour to the Hohenzollern fortress of Wülzburg. We've been there before …

In Weißenburg we treated ourselves to …

Didn't need a sweater today, so we took the slightly longer tour. First to the Altmühltherme for BestAgerTurnen and then to GUN to Barro (with Horst), then Altmühlleiter to Brombachsee and back home via Zollmühle 🤗🚴‍♂️ - it was nice 💪☀️😆
