Cycle Path on the Main-Danube Canal

Highlight • Cycleway

Good bike path next to the canal. Here and there the asphalt leaves something to be desired, but you can make pretty good progress here

Between the Juliushof and Seussling, this short high-altitude trail is an absolute must for a racing bike. You have a distant view from Walberla to Giechburg and the entire Jura panorama is at your feet.

Photo follows!
