There is a wonderful view of Prunn Castle from the bridge and from the shore in Einthal. You should definitely stop for a moment and enjoy the view of the proud weir high above the Altmühl.

I have to get out today. Yesterday's beautiful weather encouraged me, but it just wasn't possible. Despite the fact that the sky was overcast today, I set off. I hit a lot of trails towards Riedenburg. And on the return ride along the canal, I was finally rewarded by the sun. What a beautiful spectacle! The colorful leaves immediately showed …

🌞🌡 "pleasant" 30°C at the start of the tour 🥵 so take a leisurely ride... was the idea

➡ along the Altmühl and remnants of the Ludwig-Donau-Main Canal (Altmühltalradweg) from Prunn to Kelheim. The destination was the meeting point of Altmühl and Danube. Not a huge highlight, but nice to have been here.
The Hall of Liberation on the Michelsberg …

What a beautiful day, perfect cycling weather. Today I did everything, great trails, going up and down stairs. I even did some freeriding. Everything was perfect today, the fun factor was high. 🤩💪😁🙋🏼‍♂️

I wouldn't do the tour like that. I pushed the Celtic Wall (environmental protection) but you can bypass it on forest paths. I also pushed the descent to the Danube (life-saving measure), better further down east, it's rideable.
