Nice tour.
My battery ran a bit low towards the end, so there were very few photos towards the end :-(
At least I have a reason to be back in the Berching area...

The title of the tour could also be: 70 km cycling in the rain.

We started in the town of Berg, north of Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate, in light, continuous rain. First we went south along the Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal past Neumarkt to Berching with its lovely old town between the King Ludwig Canal and the Main-Danube Canal.
