Nice round for Sunday afternoon - also 2 coffee places😬
Make sure to explore the bird sanctuary on a circular walk
Hiked around the Altmühlsee today. We started shortly after 8 when the temperatures were still pleasant 😁. There are still shady sections on the west side of the lake. There were also a lot of cyclists on the road, but not so many hikers. (Today is the last day of vacation in Bavaria.) When I moved to the east side it got noticeably warmer ☀️🥵. Since the kiosks weren't open yet, the small backpack snack had to be used. Otherwise a pleasant round.
Attention ⚠️: access to the bird island is closed until the end of March.
The Altmühlsee is a reservoir in the district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen in Bavarian Middle Franconia. It was built from 1976 to 1985 as part of a water regulation system and, along with several other lakes, belongs to the Franconian Lake District.
In conjunction with the Geocaching AdventureLab round "The LAB fairytale clock at Altmühlsee" a beautiful hike around the lake. https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/a34a9b3c-79d7-44be-bce0-63a66c972a2a
A long-planned tour from my "to do list". All the way around the Altmühlsee. This morning I set off at 7 a.m. by train (D-Ticket)🚉. The 2-hour train ride was over quickly☺️ and so I started the tour at around 9:15 a.m. There was little shade along the route and the sun 🌞 was burning down. Lots of benches invited me to take a rest. Unfortunately, the route around the lake was a bit monotonous for me, as you are currently not allowed to swim 🏊♂️ due to blue-green algae. So I took the bikini 👙 with me for nothing and I didn't dare to use the magic towel to dip into the algae-covered, green water. The bird island 🐦🦆🦢 was the most interesting thing for me today. So I sweated 🥵 my way to the lido and took a longer break there. Now I have about 2 hours to go back
Definitely worth a trip. Whether by bike or on foot, you can relax and, even though it's July, there's hardly anything going on. It's almost exclusively on tarmac paths around the lake, always flat and without inclines, past nature reserves, lots of birds, the odd bathing spot and the beautiful sandy beach with a house on the lake that invites you to stop for a break.
