June 18, 2023,Gredl Radweg und RMD Kanal

Nice relaxed bike ride with the family along the Gredl bike path. For the way back to Hiltpoltstein we drove to the Rhein Main Donau Kanal. Tour was mostly away from traffic.

July 26, 2022,🚴‍♂️ Radltour vom 🏖️ Seezentrum Heuberg ⛵ nach Greding - 🏰 Hilpoltstein ⚔️ - 🚂 Gredl-Radweg 🛤️ - 🛳️ Main-Donau-Kanal - ↔️ Wasserscheide Rhein-Donau - 🎡 Riesenrad am Rothsee 26.07.2022

After seeing the pictures of @S+S 👣👣 with the Ferris wheel yesterday, I knew where to go today, Rothsee. I had already planned a tour there anyway, the Gredl cycle path, and the Ferris wheel fitted in quite well with it. The Ferris wheel is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, but it didn't matter, I didn't really want to drive …

May 6, 2022,Fahrradrunde Greding Hipoltstein

The route from Greding to Hipoltstein led over the 'Gredl' Bahntrassen bike path. From there it went a bit along the Main Danube Canal and then overland back to Greding. Except for a few kilometers of road, the route runs on well-developed cycle paths.

June 4, 2024,Fahrradtour in den Süden Teil 1 😅

I record the tours with a Garmin Instinct 2 and it classified a bending movement during a drink break as an accident, stopped the recording and sent an emergency call 🙄.

Otherwise the tour was nice.
