May 24, 2026,🚴‍♂️Radltour🌞ins Pegnitztal - 5️⃣ Flüsse Radweg🐟 - 🏞️Grottenradweg - ⚔️Burg Veldenstein - 🚣Pegnitztalradweg🦢 24.05.2026

Today I treated myself to a relaxing bike tour through the magnificent Pegnitz valley again. The goal, besides a beautiful bike tour, was Veldenstein Castle and the Grottenhof at the Maximiliansgrotte as a refreshment stop. First, we went via the Fünf Flüsse Radweg (Five Rivers Cycle Route) to Neukirchen and from there via the Grottenradweg (Grotto Cycle Route) to Neuhaus …

It's summer again...time! Well, anyway.
We take advantage of the nice weather and meet up with friends at the S-Bahn station in Pommelsbrunn.
From here we ride the Pegnitztalradweg upstream. A really beautiful landscape, even at this time of year. After almost 25 kilometers and 200 meters in altitude, we reach Neuhaus an der Pegnitz.
But that was only the …

Today I treated myself to another relaxing bike ride in the beautiful Pegnitz valley. The goal was, of course, a latte in the Cafe Inselblick in Vorra. Master baker Bernd is in his element here, you can see it in the cakes and tarts and you can taste it. Cafe Inselblick - always a hit! (😉Advertisement ends). The tour was …

What a nice Good Friday round.
It would have been nice to have been a few degrees warmer, but there was no wind - what more could you ask for.

Visited the Ossinger observation tower for the first time.
Really wonderful all-round view - to the Franconian and further.
What I also found a pity about the Oberpfalzturm: there are …

Beautiful scenic bike tour from Pommersfelden to the Pegnitz Valley. I copied the template from Rombea. Thank you very much for that. Of course, a stop at the Cafe Inselblick with a delicious piece of cake was a must. Otherwise, it seems like all the other restaurants are closed on Wednesdays.

Great tour, very varied and mostly on quiet bike paths. Easy to ride. The weather was also great.☀️
Lunch in Rupptechtsstegen. Great beer garden 🍻
The second part of the tour had a strong headwind. Along the Pegnitz River, it was always up and down, with undulating terrain. The rocky backdrop is simply stunning.
Finally, we stopped at the village …
