    Eine tolle abwechslungsreiche Tour mit sehr vielen Eindrücken. Je nach Fitness und oder E-Bike sollte die persönliche Dauer nach oben eingeplant werden. Über Outdooractive perfekte Führung, durch den Wald geht es zweimal heftig nach oben und wieder runter auf feinem Waldweg. Da sollte man konzentriert und einigermaßen fit sein... Aber wunderschön... Einkehr am Weltenburger Kloster war perfekt, sonst kommt man auch direkt durch Kelheim durch und kann sich dort was suchen...

    Gemütliche Radtour im Herzen Bayerns. Wir haben von Kelheim aus noch die Befreiungshalle besucht. Das ist fast ein Muss bei dieser Tour - auch wenn es noch ein paar Höhenmeter extra sind. Von dort geht es durch einen wunderschönen Buchenwald ebenfalls Richtung Kloster Weltenburg. Ferner gibt es in der Nähe von Hexenagger noch eine 100-jährige Eiche mit beieindruckendem Stammdurchmesser.

    Eine tolle mountain bike tour. Ich hab sie ein bißchen abgeändert. An der Wasserreserve war der Weg zugewachsen, habe deshalb den Parallel weg rechts genommen. In Biburg sind wir im Klosterbiergarten eingekehrt und anschließend an der Abends nach Siegenburg bis Train. Dort wieder auf die ursprüngliche Tour. Sehr viele einsame Waldwege und Nebenstraßen. Danke Luke!

    Wir sind nur die Teilstecke von Treuchtlingen entlang der Altmühl bis Kehlheim gefahren. Die Strecke über ca. 130 km ist sehr schön.

    Eine schöne Tour mit etlichen Steigungen aber schöner Aussicht. Würden sie das nächste Mal am Wochenende fahren, da nur dann die schönen Biergärten am Kloster Biburg und am Schloss in Ratzenhofen geöffnet sind.
