The Arber Cycle Marathon is truly one of the largest cycling events for recreational cyclists. Road bikes, mountain bikes, and gravel bikes—everyone is welcome. Top-notch organization. A must-attend event for all cycling enthusiasts.

A very beautiful railway line cycle path with a moderate gradient and almost entirely surrounded by beautiful nature. There are rest stops at regular intervals along the path, and several newly created playgrounds also invite you to linger. Coming from Regensburg, the surface is initially asphalt, later changing to gravel.
