May 9, 2024,Altmühl – Marktplatz von Gunzenhausen Runde von Treuchtlingen
In beautiful weather on Ascension Day, I was able to take this beautiful tour through the Altmühl Valley. The expansive landscape with its wide views is best explored by bike, because this way you can find the right balance between intensity and variety in experiencing the expansive landscape. There are small rest areas and individual benches to take a break …

The tour is suitable for people who like to ride on paved bike paths without inclines. It is wonderful that the bike path hardly goes along busy roads. The Altmühlsee is beautiful.

Day 3, Part One.

It's not far, but it's a long ride. 🤣

After breakfast at the hotel, we set off toward Treuchtlingen. The paths lead across wide fields and through small villages. Everything is characterized by agriculture. You even have to dodge tractors at times.

In the scorching sun and heat (30 degrees) we only did a short stage today. The first part ran about 25 km, mostly along the railway line and was mostly shadowless. We eagerly looked for a shady rest area, which we found at km 20 km. Up to Treuchtlingen, storks were our regular companions again. After that, the valley becomes …
