April 17, 2025,🇩🇪 BY: Altmühltal-Radweg - Tag 5 - von Eichstätt nach Paulushofen
Day 5, always along the river, a small loop back to Kipfenberg, and then a really steep climb at the end.

We start in Eichstätt. You leave the old town and head into nature. The paths are perfectly maintained, mostly paved.

In Arnsberg, there's another self-service ice cream machine at the sports field. We couldn't resist. 👌

After a good night's sleep at the Hotel Trompete in Eichstätt, we continued along the Altmühl Valley Cycle Path toward Beilngries. The heavy bicycle traffic, especially from families with children, was noticeable on this fourth stage. After all, the Pentecost holidays are still in Bavaria this week.

Visit to the Roman fort in Pfünz. Overnight stay in Beilngries at the Hotel Zur Krone.

We met my uncle and his friend in Kinding, drove along the Altmühl to Eichstätt, where we took our lunch break and admired the old town. Then we went back the same …

🚲 Stage 4: Start in Eichstätt in the morning at 🌧🌧. More or less rain the whole way, my new Goretex sneakers, which I bought last week, paid off - product test passed. Otherwise a nice route through fields and forests and still little going on.

From Eichstätt to Beilngries. There's not much to tell 🙃 except that we almost ran out 🥵.

Today on tour day 4 we went from Eichstätt to Beilngries. Very nice, varied route through the Altmühltal. Worth seeing is the Roman fort steeply uphill in Pfünz, the Arnsberg castle ruins and the town of Kipfenberg with the Café Bäckerei Bauer. The Topfenstrude is 🤩 in Regelmannsbrunn we enjoyed long-smoked trout at the trout farm. At the destination, Beilngries, …

It continued directly with the 3rd stage from Eichstätt to Beilngries. After Eichstätt, the cycle path led me through the forest for a long way. And since the sun was really hot, it was of course a wonderful way to cool off. Unfortunately over again after about 4 km. Now it went through meadows and fields on beautiful bike paths, …
