Cycling
This circular tour is like a short journey through time: impressive buildings from the Baroque period, medieval towns, traces of the Romans, and fossils from the Stone Age! The Jura hills, the Altmühl River, and the Main-Danube Canal offer a variety of trail conditions. You can also split the 75 kilometers into two stages.
Starting from Berching, your tour follows a flat path along the Main-Danube Canal, passing the Benedictine abbey of Plankstetten Monastery. After ten kilometers, you reach the Upper Bavarian town of Beilngries. The tour continues on the Altmühl Valley Cycle Path towards Eichstätt, where you pass the Kratzmühle bathing lake. The tour continues via Kinding to Kipfenberg, where you switch to the Limes Cycle Path towards Denkendorf. After Gelbelsee, you leave the Limes Cycle Path and cycle to the Altmühl Valley Dinosaur Museum. After Dietfurt an der Altmühl, the route continues on newly developed cycle paths. Cycle along the Laber River to Erbmühle, from where you follow the JurAktiv Tour to the Oening hill and then on to Berching.
You can also start your tour in Beilngries, at the Denkendorf Dinosaur Museum, or in Dietfurt.
