The path between Trommetsheim and Gundelsheim is flat and very easy to cycle on. Here you can let your bike roll and enjoy the beautiful panorama of the Altmühl Valley.

May 9, 2024,Altmühl – Marktplatz von Gunzenhausen Runde von Treuchtlingen

In beautiful weather on Ascension Day, I was able to take this beautiful tour through the Altmühl Valley. The expansive landscape with its wide views is best explored by bike, because this way you can find the right balance between intensity and variety in experiencing the expansive landscape. There are small rest areas and individual benches to take a break …

After we had rubbed ourselves sufficiently with anti-hum today, we drove the Altmühl cycle path through a meadow landscape, often along the railway tracks to Treutchtlingen and back.
The highlight there for railway fans was a disused express locomotive.

September 14, 2023,Treuchtlingen nach Gunzenhausen

After spending yesterday sightseeing in Regensburg, today I took the train back to Treuchtlingen via Ingolstadt. In contrast to the train station in Gunzenhausen, the two train stations were barrier-free. But with one caveat: the lift that led down to my platform was closed for repairs. Thank God it was easy to handle the bike down the stairs. The train …

We drive from Treuchtlingen to Gunzenhausen because we don't want to wait an hour for the next train connection. Overnight at the Posthotel Arnold.

On the Altmühltalradweg from Gunzenhausen to Treuchtlingen and back. This section of the route is scenically ok but nothing special. After Treuchtlingen it will be nice again 🤩

April 15, 2025,🇩🇪 BY: Altmühltal-Radweg - Tag 3a - von Gunzenhausen nach Treuchtlingen

Day 3, Part One.

It's not far, but it's a long ride. 🤣

After breakfast at the hotel, we set off toward Treuchtlingen. The paths lead across wide fields and through small villages. Everything is characterized by agriculture. You even have to dodge tractors at times.

The tour is suitable for people who like to ride on paved bike paths without inclines. It is wonderful that the bike path hardly goes along busy roads. The Altmühlsee is beautiful.

I've had the Altmühltal cycle path on my list for a very long time and now that I'm on holiday, I want to tackle it. The Altmühltal cycle path begins in Rothenburg ob der Tauber and ends at Kelheim after approx. 250 km with the mouth of the Altmühl into the Danube. I have read in some field reports that …
