Trail Reviews
The bike tour is in the book "Bahnrassenradeln in Bayern". The section from Dollnstein to Nassenfels in the Urdonautal is particularly beautiful. From Pfünz to Eichstätt and Dollnstein to Wellheim you drive on abandoned railway lines.
Very varied round. Highly frequented Altmühltal cycle path, the natural Urdonautal and the idyllic Schuttertal are very beautiful.
Since we wanted to do a tour in the Altmühltal again, I found what I was looking for a nice tour with the Altmühltal expert Armin. We have not yet been on the right side of the Autobahn. It was worth it, it was easy to drive and there weren't that many 🚴♀️ on the way.
Great tour on the Altmühlradweg from Eichstätt to Dollnstein. Right at the beginning I have more pictures than usual, but we haven't experienced anything like this before. Such trusting ducklings, who even ran after a mum with a pram :-) So there was really heavy traffic on the way. Then we went to Wellheim in the Urdonautal. Via the Schuttertal to Nassenfels (seen storks again) along the Schutter is really a great experience of nature. https://www.naturpark-altmuehltal.de/routen/10_3-taeler-tour_urdonau-_schu-3220/ CONCLUSION: Fantastic landscape, always small rest areas and great signage. Unfortunately we didn't find an open beer garden on the round. Only back in Eichstätt.
