May 29, 2024,24/24 von Absberg zur Vogelinsel im Altmühlsee 😉🫤

Today we planned a photo tour to the bird island in the Altmühlsee. In the morning the sun kept coming through the clouds. This meant that there were of course lots of cyclists on the overpass or around the Altmühlsee. Unfortunately there were hardly any birds to be seen, which was certainly due to the many visitors there 🥲
The …

Somehow it didn't record the beginning. (Human error or technical defect) Of course we also started at our end point. This should add about 14 km to make it fit.

After checking the weather forecast this morning and seeing that a thunderstorm was forecast for 3 p.m., we drove to Lake Brombach! First we cycled a bit along Lake Brombach and then we went to Lake Altmühl and cycled around it on a great asphalt path! We cycled quickly back to Lake Brombach because we still wanted to cycle around …

The Franconian Lake District
Extensive nature reserves, bird island with fascinating wildlife.
You can relax and enjoy the view of the lake on the cycle path, which partly runs directly along the lake shore. Water landscapes and forest paths alternate along the route.
Well signposted route.

July 4, 2022,Vom Brombachsee zum Altmühlsee inkl. Umrundung, schöne Wege entlang des Altmühlüberleiter

Beautiful bike ride from the Brombachsee parking space in the direction of Altmühlsee, on bike paths, partly on good gravel paths through the forest or along the Altmühlüberleiter.

We circled the Altmühlsee on a smooth paved bike path, mostly even with a separate footpath. Then a small round through Gunzenhausen - nice to look at, with various possibilities to stop …
