Excursión ciclista de un día de Nuremberg a Amberg

Ready for a scenic day out? This 77 km cycling route takes you from the historic city of Nuremberg to the charming town of Amberg, winding mostly through quiet roads, country paths, and a generous stretch of dedicated cycleways. You’ll climb a few hills on the way (close to 800 meters of ascent!), but it’s a rewarding journey through the lush Franconian countryside.

Starting off in Nuremberg, famous for its medieval old town and impressive castle, you’ll escape the city fairly quickly and pedal through picturesque villages, farmland, and shady forest tracks. The route is mostly paved and smooth, with just enough gravel sections to keep things interesting—but nothing too rough for a regular bike.

Approaching Amberg, you’ll be greeted by its iconic city gates and well-preserved fortifications. Take a stroll after your ride—the historic center is perfect for a coffee break or some local Bavarian treats. All in all, a perfect ride for cyclists who enjoy a mix of city buzz and countryside calm!
