Ornbau

Highlight • Bridge

Ornbau is a small town on the Altmühl. The medieval buildings that can be seen here, such as the stone bridge in front of the city gate, make Ornbau a typical Franconian town.

Great Brombach Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Great Brombachsee is the largest reservoir of the Franconian Lake District and was opened in 2000. It serves to regulate the flood of the Altmühl and, above all, as a water reservoir for the rain-poor northern Bavaria. In addition, he attracts nature lovers from near and far with his beautiful bike and footpaths, the bathing beaches and the cruise ship MS Brombach.

Great lake, great for cycling around and very suitable for families because of the many playgrounds, sandy areas and places to stop for a bite to eat.

Brombachsee Lakeside Trail

Highlight • Trail

The riverside path is easy to navigate throughout - and the elevation is low. It's great that the hiking and cycling paths are separate. There are plenty of restaurants on site. A trip to the surrounding villages is also worthwhile.

North Shore of Igelsbachsee

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

I think it is one of the most beautiful sections around the Great Brombachsee. Can be managed by any bike.
And there are far fewer pedestrians here.

A wonderful view around the two lakes.
Just roll there with your bike.
Lots of rest options.
Beautiful views of the respective lake at all times.
Swimming is also possible in many places.

Wonderful bike ride allowed in the morning fog finished in the sunshine. Tour is recommended in everyone.

A very nice bike tour to be driven with easy-to-drive paths and no major inclines.

Showing Translation

One of the most beautiful routes is long but there is so much to see, time flies and kilometers too

Showing Translation

A wonderful tour in the best weather and only on cycle paths with no car traffic. The detour to the bird island was worth it. A final stop in the glorious evening sun at the beach restaurant in Schlungenhof. Great, highly recommended.

Today I did a long ride around the lake in pleasant temperatures. With a lot of luck I made it to the hotel garage before the front wheel went flat!

Actually, this tour around the Brombach and Altmühlsee is only part of the Altmühl cycle path for a short section, but it is still a good introduction and a good way to warm up. The paths around the lakes are well developed, with separate cycle and pedestrian paths running side by side in some places. There are disabled parking spaces …

Today we went to "relax" 😉 to Altmühlsee and Brombachsee.
