Gravel riding

On the #DreiTälerTour, you'll journey through the Danube, Schambach & Altmühl valleys with challenging climbs, the Weltenburg Abbey, a former railway line, and shady forests.

Constant ups and downs between the Danube, Schambach, and Altmühl valleys: this tour is perfect for gravel bikers who appreciate sporty climbs as much as impressive landscapes. The #DreiTälerTour starts in Kelheim with a challenging ascent directly above the Danube breakthrough. Here, the first photo stop awaits with a view of the well-known Weltenburg Abbey on the opposite river bank.

On the tour, you will also cross the Roman Limes twice before heading into the Schambach valley. Here, you'll follow a former railway line with a pleasant flow until Riedenburg, where more than enough beer gardens and cafés invite you for a relaxed break. After refueling, the ride continues sportingly with a moderate climb that takes you from the Altmühl valley, through shady forest paths, up to the Jura plateau.

Finally, quiet gravel paths will lead you back to Kelheim, where you can enjoy an ice cream in the old town to conclude the tour.

The cycle path runs for 45 kilometers along the former railway line between Ingolstadt-Nord and Riedenburg. It's easy to cycle, and there's always something to see and information boards tell stories about the old railway line. This is the section from Riedenburg to Hexenagger.
