RT 2016; Eichstätt - Frankfurt

Once you have overcome the ramps at Bhf Eichstätt station, the biggest challenges are behind you. From the station, follow the well-signposted cycling path towards the Altmühltal, don't miss the turn-off heading upstream along the river, then continue gently uphill and against the 'flow of cyclist…

From Pappenheim upstream along the Altmühl valley to Gunzenhausen. The well-marked cycle path from Treuchtlingen follows a rather monotonous route along the railway line through the fields. Gunzenhausen and the Altmühlsee are worth seeing and a longer break. Continue along the Altmühl to Ornbau…

Varied route starting from Ansbach, then uphill to Colmberg, from there via Burghausen (very nice Bike & Bett) always gently ascending to the source of the Altmühl and from Nördlingen along the European watershed through the forest towards Rothenburg. Overnight at Hotel Rappen right in front o…

From TBB uphill via Königsheim to Hardheim, and from there downhill through the Erft valley to Miltenberg. The stage was planned shorter to allow more time for the very beautiful Miltenberg. Overnight stay at the very good Brauerei Keller hotel right in the center of Miltenberg. Preparations for…

From Miltenberg, initially along the left side of the Main River to Aschaffenburg. A short coffee break beneath a small church right on the Main in Wörth a. Main. Visit to the highly recommendable town of Seligenstadt with its impressive former Benedictine abbey. Hanau doesn’t offer much, more of…

10 unsuccessful extra kilometers on the Miltenberg - Hanau stage to find a nice accommodation. Eventually ended up in Hanau at the Ht. Residence in the city center.

Last stage, aborted in Frankfurt due to bad weather. Instead, we explored Frankfurt more thoroughly, witnessed preparations for the Ironman, and in the evening watched the GER - ITA match in a pizzeria. Overnight stay at Ht Europa Life Style, a small city hotel near the main station, with small ro…
