It was really a nice local recreation area which is very well attended on weekends and when the weather is nice. The further you get out, the quieter it becomes.

June 18, 2023,Nürnberg - Lauf an der Pegnitz- Amberg

Out of Nuremberg on a beautiful route along the Pegnitz and through the park at the Wöhrder See. Continue via Lauf an der Pegnitz and Sulzbach-Rosenberg with pretty town centers. The route itself is then rather unspectacular to Amberg, a town worth seeing with a closed old town and town fortifications. It's the old town festival right now: lots of …

August 14, 2025,Fünf Flüsse Tour. Nürnberg nach Amberg 1 Etappe. 1 Tag

This first stage takes us from Nuremberg to Amberg. The route was well signposted. However, it also caused some controversy. We didn't always follow the Five Rivers Cycle Route. There were also other signposted cycle paths that crossed each other, ran parallel, and eventually converged again. For this stage, you should have a fully charged bike battery or, if you're …

June 16, 2024,Nürnberg - Lauf a. d. Pegnitz - Sulzbach-Rosenberg - Amberg

A beautiful route. Along the Wöhrder See out of Nuremberg. The scenery is initially unspectacular, but from the "summit" onwards the elevation profile offers wonderful gentle descents on good paths. Amberg is a beautiful old town that is worth visiting!

May 17, 2024,Fünf-Flüsse-Radweg 🏞️ Etappe 1: Nürnberg - Amberg

For our 4-day bike tour this year, we chose the 5-rivers cycle path. The tour, which is around 300 km long, connects the river valleys of Pegnitz, Vils, Naab, Danube and Altmühl.

Our starting point was Nuremberg. From here, the first 40 km went along river No. 1, the Pegnitz. The next few kilometers to the European main watershed were …

September 9, 2023,20230909Etappe 5: Von Nürnberg nach Amberg – Fünf-Flüsse-Radweg

Today was the last day of our bike trip.
It is also really nice to drive from Nuremberg to Amberg. Here, as on the other days, it is almost always off the main roads. Since there was a lot of asphalt to drive today, the inclines and beautiful descents could be mastered well.
We particularly liked the small town of …

August 30, 2022,Fünf-Flüsse-Radweg: 3. Etappe: Nürnberg-Amberg🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️☀️

The route out of Nuremberg was really nice (lots of greenery) and the run is worth seeing. Otherwise, today's stage wasn't quite as convincing. However, it is interesting to be a tourist in my old hometown of Amberg. It's still beautiful here 😃, even after more than 40 years!
