Altmühltal Tag 4 (Kipfenberg - Kehlheim)

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 beautiful gates and it was a wealth of impressions I can't put into words. In the end what's stuck with me is the romantic Altmühl and the many castles. Oh, I almost forgot: today the Altmühl had become large enough that cargo ships were sailing on it; you can watch the lock operation, because you ride directly over it.
