Cycle tour Altmühltal via Bad Gögging

Dear Sir or Madam, yesterday we finished our bike tour from Rothenburg to Regensburg and would like to give you the following feedback. Our expectations were partially fulfilled, but we were somewhat disappointed in the following points: 1. Because we were directed from Riedenburg via a side route to Bad Gögging, we missed a very important and beautiful section of the Altmühl Valley. We think that's a real shame, especially since we had no influence on the course of the tour when booking. 2. The route from Riedenburg to Bad Gögging was on country roads and the hotel "The Monarch" did not fit the character of this romantic tour in our opinion. We felt out of place and uncomfortable in this hotel and the surrounding area. 3. The travel documents for this section of the route also contained insufficient information and details. Our suggestion for future route planning: leave out Bad Gögging and instead offer only the Altmühl Valley cycle path from Riedenburg to Kehlheim. Kind regards, Frank Dittrich-Bösche and Bärbel Bösche
