Along the way, you discover a piece of the fascinating beauty of the Altmühl region. During the journey, you experience mighty rock formations of the Jura Alb, impressive juniper heaths, and lush riverbank and meadow landscapes. A highlight is the medieval towns and villages along the route.

    Roadbook

    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.

    Public transport

    Train travel: Hourly connections with Deutsche Bahn to the long-distance station Steinach (approx. 15 km away). Hotel transfers to/from the station are on your own. Taxis are also available directly in front of the station.

    Directions

    Arrival by car: To Rothenburg: coming from the A7 motorway, take the exit “Rothenburg ob der Tauber” and then follow the St 2250 Ansbacher Straße towards the town center.

    Parking

    Parking: Along the city wall ring of Rothenburg outside the old town, there are several paid large car parks from which you can reach the city center in a few minutes on foot.
