Greding-Runde

The first 50 km include most of the approximately 1200 meters of elevation gain. The rest of the roughly 80 km long tour is just a piece of cake. Especially after having enjoyed the recommended stop at one of Greding's traditional taverns.

But now to the course of the tour:

Starting at 400 m.a.s.l., you head on a rolling ridge between the Danube and Altmühl for about 10 km westward, then descend 100 m safely in 2 km down to the shores of the Altmühl at Pfünz, 2 km after Hofstetten. After another 10 km from Gungolding, the Altmühl Valley is left behind via moderate gradients towards Pfahldorf. After about 10 km on the rolling hills of the Limes, you ride gently into the Anlautertal. You wind down into the valley via a wooded descent of 2-3 km. Another ascent with nearly 10 % gradient leads from Emsing to Gnadenberg, to then reach the Jura heights until the winding descent from Kraftsbuch down to Greding.

From Greding, a quiet little road takes you to Kinding, and from there meandering along the Altmühl to the center of Bavaria "Kipfenberg".

From there, heading towards Denkendorf, the route gently climbs back up to 400 m.a.s.l. towards Kruth, Schelldorf, Böhmfeld returning to the starting point at Lippertshofen. The suburb of Gaimersheim is reached via a delightful 2.5 km descent, from which you can already spot the refinery towers of Ingolstadt on the horizon.
