Schwarze Laber Cycle Path: Finsterweiling to Lengenfeld

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The city of Velburg has completed a wonderful new bike path from Finsterweiling to Lengenfeld in 2020. The path way is off the main road and therefore absolutely recommendable.

October 29, 2022,Schwarze Laber bei Oberweiling – Schwarze Laaber Runde von Parsberg

It was a beautiful tour back then, and we still enjoy doing it today. The rose cemetery in Dietkirchen is well worth seeing (unfortunately we didn't take any photos). The large "Q" of the Quellenradweg, with its beautifully laid out rest areas, accompany us on many of our tours throughout the region.

March 3, 2024,Saisoneröffnung im Biergarten Grüne Auszeit 🍻😋

Our favorite beer garden, the "Green Time Out" in Unterweikenhof, has finally reopened. I don't think I need to mention where our bike tour took us. It was beautiful and delicious too.

A beautiful bike ride from Neumarkt to Parsberg along the black Laber. From Parsberg we went back by train. It's a pity that Parsberg doesn't have an elevator. (still?) A bit tedious for e bikes.

End of the year with spring temperatures.
The route runs on bikes, dirt roads and side roads without traffic.
The way to the castle is more for pedestrians, but you can also cycle.
