I cannot recommend the route between Sandharlanden and Holzharlanden - far too much traffic

June 22, 2024,Kelheim - Pförring - Unterdolling - Riedenburg - Kelheim

After driving to the Kelheim jetty, I took a boat trip through the Danube Gorge to Weltenburg, which was beautiful to look at, but it was mass tourism.

I then cycled on the path near the banks of the Danube to Eining, which included many pushing and muddy sections. Afterwards, I looked like I had just been pulled out of …

Today we went on another lovely bike tour with our hiking/cycling group Oldies 60+ and Friends. The scenery was simply wonderful. It was a bit long at over 70 km and we were always pressed for time, but we wouldn't have missed a second.

Enjoyable bike tour along the Altmühl, Danube and the evening. We recommend that you plan 2 hours more so that nothing stands in the way of a stop in the beer garden. The scenery is very beautiful and the cycle paths are all easy to ride, even when it has rained, apart from a few puddles. The short detour to …

It's done. For the first time, all Franconian Komootler 60+ and friends were out together. Bernd planned a great tour for us from Riedenburg along the Altmühl and the Danube. We took a variety of paths through forests and fields and through small towns. Because of the heavy rain of the last few days, it was a bit "puddled" here …
