You can comfortably explore the entire river course by bike. The Altmühl Cycle Route runs in the first section on paved forest and field paths as well as small, low-traffic side roads. From Altmühlsee to Kelheim, the riverbank is almost everywhere equipped with dedicated, mostly finely gravelled cycle paths. Here again, neither traffic disturbances nor inclines are to be expected.
