There is a beautiful path around the lake, with information boards about environmental protection and the lake. Walking around it is an experience and a visit to the bird island is particularly recommended.

What a height profile 😄, you could cycle there for hours. Really a beautiful rural area and not many people on the bike paths and by the lake... how relaxing in the golden autumn weather 😊🍁.
There are lots of places to stop for refreshments at the lake, great playgrounds, benches, beaches... apparently there were good planners at work 👍. …

During our stay at the annual "Lake in Flames" we didn't do a lap with the bikes.
Between sunshine, heavy rain and thunderstorms, we happened to be at Europe's largest vintage Mercedes meeting.
A whole in a state of emergency..... Awesome 😎

Today was the first time on my bikes at Altmühlsee. This beautiful lake landscape with changing looks is simply fantastic. Shortly after our start we came to Bird Island, which can only be reached and walked on via bridges. Visiting these is an absolute must. However, it's only possible on foot and it's not that far to walk. We then …

Since I "fled" the Tannheimer Valley because of the weather, I did everything right here and can do a bit of cycling in the Altmühl Valley in the sunshine. It's nice to be so flexible 😎☀️

Summer sun weekend at Altmühlsee and on Sunday at Brombachsee. Very nice, great cycling infrastructure. Partly very quiet along the lake. There was only a lot going on around the lidos. 🌞🌞🌞 Highlight in the evening the live music in the Angerwirt beer garden, what more could you want 🎶🎶

A beautiful tour around Lake Altmühl. We started in fog and with cold fingers and cycled along the lake. The lake has wonderful bike paths, most of which run parallel to the sidewalks. We then took the path along the Altmühl tributary to enjoy the beautiful autumn colors and had a coffee in the beer garden in Gern!☕ On the …
