Tag 1 - Etappe 3

Characteristics:

• Some climbs and descents at the beginning, then the route becomes flat.
• Almost exclusively asphalt roads and paths.
• The route passes through several small villages and Donauwörth. At the T-junction in Marxheim, turn left following the St2215 where you first tackle three small climbs followed by descents. After Altisheim, the route flattens out. Following St2215, ride through Zirgesheim and enter Donauwörth. Here, it is especially important to pay attention to the signage. In the old town, the cycle path passes a number of ice cream parlors and bakeries, where tired riders can take a short break if needed. Continuing over the Wörnitz bridges, the route heads south and passes under the railway line. Skirting the Airbus Helicopters facilities and passing under the B16, you'll reach the Donauwörth barrage, whose dam you cross (2nd crossing of the Danube), and for the next 10 kilometers you ride through mainly agricultural land characterized by numerous farms directly alongside the asphalt road. In Rettingen, take the cycle path left, continue along the road through Heidenau, and finally reach the T-junction at the DLG 23.
