Cycling day trip from Amberg to Regensburg

Looking for a ride that blends Bavarian charm with smooth cycling? Set off from the historic town of Amberg, known for its medieval city walls and picture-perfect old town, and pedal south toward the vibrant city of Regensburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the Danube.

This route is a little over 73 km—ideal for a long day in the saddle. You’ll cross rolling countryside and gentle hills with about 540 meters of climbing (and a little more going down). Most of the ride (around 70%) is on good, paved surfaces, with much of it along peaceful cycle paths and quiet roads—so it should be a pretty chill trip.

The scenery alternates between quaint villages, thick forests, and open farmland. Regensburg, at the finish line, is bursting with riverside cafes and ancient stone bridges—perfect for your post-ride treat. This ride is a great mix of easy cruising and light adventure through the heart of Bavaria!
