Altdorf Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

The romantic market square in Altdorf is worth a detour: historic half-timbered houses frame the cobbled square with a fountain in the middle. Cozy cafés and restaurants invite you to stop by.

Beautiful bike path along the tree-lined canal. The Ludwig-Danube Canal is the predecessor of the much wider Main-Danube Canal and was opened in 1846. On a distance of almost 170 kilometers, a height difference of 264 meters was overcome with the help of exactly 100 locks.

Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal Path

Highlight • Cycleway

A detour to the LMD channel would not be enough. The walk along the canal is the tour itself! Miles along the water, great nature! Super bike paths, not paved but nicely fixed.

October 29, 2025,DAV-Runde-zum Galgenberg in Neumarkt: Hier wurde Eppelein von Gailingen mit dem Rad hingerichtet.

I'm currently testing how to write a comment about a tour I've already done:

Gallows Hill in Neumarkt is the old execution site where death sentences were carried out. Formerly located far outside the city gates, today (largely unknown) it's right in the middle.
