Hiked around the Altmühlsee today. We started shortly after 8 when the temperatures were still pleasant 😁. There are still shady sections on the west side of the lake.
There were also a lot of cyclists on the road, but not so many hikers. (Today is the last day of vacation in Bavaria.) When I moved to the east side …

A long-planned tour from my "to do list". All the way around the Altmühlsee. This morning I set off at 7 a.m. by train (D-Ticket)🚉. The 2-hour train ride was over quickly☺️ and so I started the tour at around 9:15 a.m. There was little shade along the route and the sun 🌞 was burning down. Lots of benches invited …

Definitely worth a trip. Whether by bike or on foot, you can relax and, even though it's July, there's hardly anything going on. It's almost exclusively on tarmac paths around the lake, always flat and without inclines, past nature reserves, lots of birds, the odd bathing spot and the beautiful sandy beach with a house on the lake that invites …

I had seen the round several times before, and today was the day.
Blue skies and 15°C promised perfect external conditions. After parking the car and climbing the embankment, a wonderful view of the entire lake was revealed.
In the first half, cyclists and pedestrians share the asphalt, which I can imagine being quite stressful in the summer, but later …
