Excursión ciclista de un día de Crailsheim a Dinkelsbühl

Ready for a scenic ride through the rolling Frankonian countryside? This 26 km cycling route takes you from Crailsheim, a lively town with a charming historic core and railway heritage, straight to the postcard-perfect medieval gem of Dinkelsbühl.

Leaving Crailsheim, you’ll quickly swap bustle for tranquility as you pedal along mostly quiet roads and a few country paths. Expect some moderate climbs—just enough ascent to keep things interesting and reward you with lovely views but nothing too dramatic. The surface varies, but most of the way is paved or smooth asphalt, with the occasional gravel patch adding a hint of adventure.

Your endpoint, Dinkelsbühl, is absolutely worth the journey: its 16th-century walls, colorful half-timbered houses, and cobbled squares look straight out of a fairy tale. Take your time exploring the Altstadt (old town) and maybe reward yourself with an ice cream or coffee at a local café. All in all, this route is perfect for a relaxed half-day ride with a dose of history at both the start and finish.
