Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Dietfurt do Kelheim

This ride takes you from Dietfurt, known as the “Gateway to Altmühltal” and famous for its quirky “Chinese Carnival,” all the way to Kelheim, where the Danube and Altmühl rivers meet. Covering just under 35 km, the route winds mostly along gravel and unpaved tracks—perfect if you want to lose the traffic and get close to nature.

You'll start with a gentle climb out of Dietfurt before coasting through serene forest paths and open countryside, surrounded by the rolling hills of the Altmühltal Nature Park. The ups and downs are mild, with about 260 meters of ascent—just enough to make a cold drink in Kelheim taste even better.

The approach to Kelheim is a highlight, with dramatic limestone cliffs in view and, if you’ve got the energy, a worthy detour to the famous Befreiungshalle (Hall of Liberation). Most of your ride is on quiet tracks or gravel, so a sturdy bike is a good idea. This is an easygoing day out, ideal for anyone wanting to discover Bavaria beyond the tarmac.
