Altmühltal Four Valleys Cycle Path

You leave Würzburg on the Aalbach cycle path and get back to it at Bettingen Main. Now it's not far to Wertheim. The castle ruins tower over the small, winding streets of the old town. The historic old town in Tauberbischofsheim is worth seeing. Stroll through the impressive pedestrian zone.

You follow the Romantic Road to Bad Mergentheim and should visit the moated castle in Weikersheim before you get to Rothenburg. Immerse yourself in the bygone days of this historic place with a night watchman tour.

You cycle through the upper Altmühltal to Herrieden, where you can still feel the medieval atmosphere. Before you reach Gunzenhausen, the wonderful Altmühlsee invites you to take a dip in the cool water.

The Altmühltal nature park opens up a landscape of unique beauty. In Eichstätt marvel at the baroque splendor of the former prince-bishop town.

Your path leads past the lock system of the RhineMainDanube Canal near Dietfurt. In order to shorten the route to approx. 55 km, it is possible to reserve a transfer from Dietfurt to Riedenburg on site (on your own, details with the travel documents). You can find a great collection of treasures from the realm of crystals and gemstones in the Crystal Museum in Riedenburg.

One of the most popular photo motifs in the Altmühltal can be found in Essing. The ensemble of the two-storey Bruckturm and the 46 meter long wooden bridge. In Kelheim you should visit the Liberation Hall before you cycle to the medieval city of Regensburg. Embark on an interesting journey through the UNESCO World Heritage City.

After breakfast departure on your own.
