Are you interested in German history and do love nature? Then is the cycle tour along the Altmühl Valley Cycle Route is just right for you. You start in romantic Rothenburg ob der Tauber and cycle to Regensburg, one of the oldest cities in Germany. On this cycling tour, you will sometimes pedal over steep climbs. The rewards are magnificent castles and splendid palaces where you will learn a lot about Germany‘s history. The picturesque old towns in Rothenburg, Ansbach and Regensburg offer numerous sights. Bavarian hospitality awaits you in the many cafés and restaurants where it is worth taking a break. You cycle through the wonderful landscape of the Franconian Lake District with its endless meadows and green forests. As you can see – a bike tour along the Altmühl is an experience for everyone!
Your cycle tour along the Altmühl Valley Cycle Route begins in Rothenburg. Especially abroad, the town is considered the epitome of medieval urban romance. See for yourself and stroll through the old town with its decorated half-timbered houses and winding alleys. Especially after dark, you will feel the special atmosphere. Try a Rotheburcher Wirscht (sausage) and the famous Schneeballen (pastry) before your bike tour starts.
Your first stage takes you along the Burgenstraße first to Colmberg. Take a break at the castle of the same name and enjoy the view of the village. The Franconian Rezat then leads you to Ansbach. In the beautiful rococo palace you will stroll in the splendour of bygone times through magnificent rooms and the two-storey banqueting hall. During a stroll through the town you will discover the former court church of the margraves, beautiful Renaissance courtyards, a Baroque synagogue and much more.
After breakfast, we pedal through green natural landscapes to Gunzenhausen, located directly on the Altmühlsee. There are many bird species to observe in the lake's nature reserve. Cycle on to Treuchtlingen. Here you go on a journey of discovery and walk in the footsteps of the Celts, Romans and Charlemagne. Take a walk to Treuchtlingen Castle and enjoy the view over the town and the surrounding countryside.
The Altmühl Valley Cycle Route takes you to the baroque town of Eichstätt. The town is located in the Altmühltal Nature Park, amidst colourful flora and fascinating fauna. Experience the history of Eichstätt on a city walk. Modern architecture, the historic old town and the varied nature guarantee you a mixture of relaxation and experience. You should definitely visit the Jura Museum on Willibaldsburg Castle and the Prince Bishop's Residence.
Leisurely, on flat paths you cycle through the juniper heath of the Altmühltal. Beilngries offers an opportunity for a first stop. The historic old town with its medieval towers and baroque buildings is perfect for a souvenir photo. Get back on your bike until you reach Riedenburg. It's not for nothing that the town is known as the "Pearl of the Altmühl Valley": Castles, museums, rocks and deciduous forests – everything can be discovered here at your leisure.
On the last stage of your cycle tour along the Altmühl Valley Cycle Route, you first cycle to Kelheim. You can decide whether you want to cycle along the river or take the boat (not included) to shorten the distance. Follow the Danube for the last few kilometres to Regensburg. Stroll through the medieval centre of the city and visit the most important landmarks, such as the Stone Bridge and the Gothic cathedral with its twin towers.
