May 18, 2024,1.Etappe. Von Donauwörth nach Augsburg – Via Claudia Augusta

Augsburg was founded by Drusus and Tiberius (stepsons of Emperor Augustus) in 15 BC. We traveled by train from Ibk to Mü, then by EC train to Donauwörth. The rail system is unsuitable for e-bikes. Only four spaces per train, meaning you have to reserve in advance, and then boarding, hanging up your bike, and getting off is unreasonable. ÖBB …

October 5, 2025,Via Claudia Augusta - Tag 1: Donauwörth > Augsburg

Soooo. So here we go. The great adventure of getting to Venice. The first day actually turned out to be even worse than I ever imagined. I'm just an optimist when it comes to trains. Well, every damn time I experience the worst possible stress because of the unreliability of the trains, I think about how naive I am.

July 2, 2022,Via Claudia Augusta Etappe 1

Finally started today on the Claudia Augusta, in Donauwörth on beautiful bike paths through fields, small villages and a long stretch along the Lech, which looks more like a trickle in parts. Arrived in the Fugger city of Augsburg, where today's stage ends. Augsburg has a beautiful city center with a great pedestrian zone and cozy places to chill out

March 3, 2024,Alte-Jungfernfahrt Augsburg - Donauwörth

Maiden voyage with the second-hand Black Betty to Donauwörth. In September '23, after driving across Germany from Berlin, I brought the Bavarian lady back to Bavaria, gave her a manicure and had her checked for a long time at her place of birth. It took a while until we came to an agreement, but on Sunday we finally went on …
