April 13, 2025,🇩🇪 BY: Altmühltal-Radweg - Tag 1 - von Rothenburg nach Leutershausen

Day 1: a climb, then it gets easy.

We started in Rothenburg. We quickly left the city behind and climbed the first hill. This is the steepest part of the tour.

Then the route leads along quiet side roads and good bike paths.

We cycled through tiny villages; we were usually the only ones on the road.

First of all, if I had known that almost the entire route of 600 km runs against the rather strong east wind 🌬, then I would have preferred to accept the few more meters in altitude and started the other way around. It would be much easier. 😅
After I gave my broken car to the workshop and I was …

Nice tour, seen a lot, nice gradient up to 14% at the beginning, that was it with the difference in altitude on the tour. The slope was from Taubertal to Altmühltal. Tomorrow we continue at the Altmühl.
