Cycling

The idyllic Pegnitztal cycle path is always along the water. Due to its level routing, this tour is suitable for the whole family. From Neuhaus an der Pegnitz with its stately Veldenstein Castle, you first cycle through picturesque settlements along the river. You can easily reach Neuhaus by train. Then you dive into the forest and follow the narrow but easily navigable path through the landscape of the Nuremberg region.

After you have crossed Velden and the Scheunenviertel there, you come to the Hirsch Bridge, from which you can see a small waterfall. The bike path winds along the Pegnitz floodplains and you change banks several times. You will be accompanied by the rails of the local train - if necessary, you can get on or off at several points on the Pegnitztal cycle path. A cozy place to rest awaits you in Café Inselblick in Vorra. You cycle relaxed along gentle hills to Hohenstadt, the destination of the Pegnitztal cycle path.

Tip: In the north - in Neuhaus an der Pegnitz - the cycle path connects to the Pegnitz cycle path. At the southern end in Hohenstadt, however, you can continue cycling on the Five Rivers Cycle Path.

Hirsch Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This magnificent stag stands on the bridge near Güntersthal, a rare beautiful specimen. The life-size deer sculpture is an eye-catcher and not only popular with children. Worth seeing!

Harnbacher Mühle Water Wheel

Highlight • Monument

The Harnbacher Mühle in Pegnitztal near Hartenstein in Central Franconia is a place of inclusion and a meeting place for the Mühlenkraft Association. In 1831 Harnbach was mentioned in the topo-geographical-statistical lexicon of the kingdoms of Bavaria, as a hamlet with 17 inhabitants, three houses, a bridge and a mill on the Pegnitz. The mill building was demolished and only the wooden mill wheel testifies to the former location.

Absolutely take a look. Located directly on the Pegnitz, the Café Inselblick offers the ideal resting and refreshments on cycling and hiking tours. On the small terrace, directly above the Pegnitz, hot and cold drinks, lovingly cooked dishes and very delicious, homemade cakes are served. The bridge is followed by a beer garden (self-service), where you can also eat brought food. If you are traveling by e-bike, you can look forward to several battery charging stations directly at the café.

April 5, 2026,🚲 Oster-Radltour 🐥🐔🌾🌷 durchs Pegnitz-Tal ☀️🌼🪻
From Hersbruck, I start my bike tour directly on the Pegnitz. The sun is warming, spring is showing itself everywhere. The path leads past beautiful Pegnitz wooden bridges, bizarrely shaped rock formations, and always charming half-timbered houses, directly along the riverbank... a quiet, beautiful route through the awakening nature. The tour on the Pegnitztal cycle path leads me, among other …
