August 15, 2022,Fahrradtour im Altmühltal von Pappenheim bis zum Burgsteinfels

Planned as a canoe tour, carried out as a bike tour. From Pappenheim we actually wanted to take the waterway to Dollnstein. But unfortunately nothing was possible with the first canoe provider due to a lack of staff, the second was closed due to Corona and the third could not be reached. So the bikes had to be used again

A very nice section of the Altmühltal cycle path. Many dry slopes with rocks line the path, which is mostly tarred and fits wonderfully into the Altmühltal. Well attended on a beautiful Sunday 😉
