The Altmühl Cycle Path is a genuine recommendation for young and old. The surface is consistently easy to ride, there are hardly any significant climbs and the signage is first-rate. The beautiful nature around the river landscape and the rock formations completes the impression. There are also many picturesque small towns with charming old town centres that invite you to linger. You can discover the history of the old noble families and their stately castles or even a stretch of the Limes. Along the route there are many opportunities for food and overnight stays. As a finale, you can extend the route along the Danube to Regensburg.

Altmühltal Tag1 (Kirnberg - Herrieden)

Cycling route in Gebsattel, Bavaria, Germany

A very nice first day on the Altmühltalradweg, unfortunately very rainy. The route mixes main roads and side paths. The signage is excellent and rest benches are provided regularly, great! You alternate between venerable village centres and open nature. After clearing the big but short climb at the…

Altmühltal Tag 2 (Herrieden - Treuchtlingen/Möhren)

Cycling route in Herrieden, Bavaria, Germany

https://youtu.be/z6bDNXaCqxE Today's stage got off to a brisk start. The surface is mostly paved. You wind along the Altmühl and its side branches through the valleys, alongside fields. There's a lot of nature to take in — right now whole flocks of storks. The area around Altmühlsee is quite crowd…

Altmühltal Tag 3 (Möhren/Treuchtlingen - Kipfenberg)

Cycling route in Treuchtlingen, Bavaria, Germany

A stage straight out of a travel brochure, simply beautiful. You wind through the Altmühl valley, flanked by weathered limestone pillars. The best known of these are the so-called '12 Apostles'. Passing through the towns often invites you to linger; many old and venerable buildings can be admired. …

Altmühltal Tag 4 (Kipfenberg - Kehlheim)

Cycling route in Denkendorf, Bavaria, Germany

In terms of impressions, I would call today's stage mixed. That, however, is more a matter of taste. I felt the first third was purely a transfer section: much of it ran along the road or on freshly paved cycle paths that ran like motorways through the fields. Then, all at once, nature opened its b…

Altmühltal Tag 5 (Kehlheim - Regensburg)

Cycling route in Kelheim, Bavaria, Germany

The last day takes me along the Danube, after the Altmühl and the Main-Danube Canal have now merged into the Danube. The river is very wide and the traffic on the water is heavy. You can tell the Danube cycle path is popular, because it's crowded. Besides the many cycling enthusiasts, it seems like…
