The valley goes past the town hall in a northwesterly direction out of Kastl - nice little road that forks after 1 km - both routes are very nice

August 12, 2024,An Lauterach und Vils durch die oberpfälzer Toskana 🇮🇪😂

Around the Hirschwald forest on very nice cycle paths and old railway lines. I cycled comfortably in temperatures of over 30°. Highly recommended tour, with a small point deduction due to the lack of or closed beer gardens.

September 17, 2023,Durch die Toskana der Oberpfalz 🚴‍♂️ 17.09.2023

Today's Sunday tour went to Tuscany in the Upper Palatinate. Thanks to Bayern 1, there was a report a week ago about cycle paths in Bavaria and the Lauterach Valley which stuck with me as Tuscany of the Upper Palatinate. Of course, I also took a look at the surrounding area and noticed the Schweppermann cycle path, so a circuit …

We started in Kastl. In the direction of Amberg, down to Schmidmühlen and back to Kastl. The route along the Lauterach was particularly beautiful. We had a picnic with us as there weren't many places to stop for refreshments. Finally, we discovered the Hammermühle for ☕🍰 right on the way. There are lots of places to rest along the way …

A wonderful tour. Close to nature, away from the road and yet mostly on asphalt paths.

Today I went on a touring bike ride through the Upper Palatinate around the Hirschwald forest. The scenery was very beautiful and the cycle paths were great, even for inexperienced cyclists.

July 12, 2021,Hirschwaldrunde (FFR Tour 6)

So today, at the start of the holiday, we're going on a bike tour into enemy territory again. No, not to Unterfarrnbach, not even to the Ronhof or to Nuremberg. (Which would not be an enemy country for me either) Think big, as big as you can think as a Middle Franconian, it goes .... to the Upper Palatinate.
