Cycling day trip from Riedenburg to Regensburg

Set off from the picturesque little town of Riedenburg, nestled at the heart of the Altmühl Valley. It's a gem known for its historic castles and scenic waterways. Your ride to Regensburg covers just about 51 km of beautiful Bavarian landscapes, with a mix of quiet roads, scenic paths, and a bit of gravel thrown in to keep things interesting! Expect a good mix of surfaces – mostly paved and asphalt, but with enough gravel to make your adventure shoes worthwhile. Along the way, you’ll have a few ups and downs, with a total ascent of around 430 meters—nothing too crazy, but just enough to keep you engaged.

The route meanders through tranquil countryside and small villages, following stretches of the Altmühl and Danube Rivers. Eventually, you’ll roll into Regensburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its stunning medieval old town, iconic stone bridge, and lively cafés by the Danube. It’s the perfect spot for a victory coffee (or maybe a beer) after a day of rolling through the Bavarian heartland!
