Swimming near Muhr at the Altmühl(tal) lake, beer garden right there too!
In the evening we moved into the Stadthof Treuchtlingen quarters and walked across the Edeka car park to the Greeks on the Altmühl.
Drinks on the tally in the huge fireplace room with bookshelves and black grand piano.

September 27, 2024,Tauber-Altmühl-Radweg - Tag 4: (von Herrieden nach Treuchtlingen)

The Altmühl meanders lazily across the raised moor, divided into several branches. The sparsely populated region is rather monotonous. The Altmühl cycle path runs straight across fields and pastures without any significant climbs, like the route of a motorway on a ping pong table. For me, this is the dreariest part of the cycle path, which is not very varied …

A good cycle path, partly along agricultural paths. Grumbach is worth a rest.

One last farewell photo of the medieval bridge in Herrieden, then we begin the second leg to Treuchtlingen. From now on, the Altmühl Valley Cycle Path is well-developed for tourism. Information boards with explanations about the region and its people are placed at regular intervals. From Ornbau, the route leads into the Franconian Lake District.

Stage 4 from Herrieden to Treuchtlingen and we are still waiting for the beautiful Altmühltal. We have been driving over an endless plateau for 2 days now. The weather today is quite cool and windy. Total shock to yesterday. We spend the night in Treuchtlingen-Möhren, Pension Schloss Blick. Great room and lovingly prepared breakfast. The beer garden, a real one-off, …

Another nice tour today, past the Altmühlsee to Gunzenhausen. Behind it it started to rain. We reeled off the last 20 km in rain gear. We found nice accommodation 4 km behind Treuchtlingen, with a beer garden. It's going to be another nice evening. Tomorrow we continue to Eichstätt.
