    Tolle Radtour in einer sehr schönen abwechslungsreichen fränkischen Landschaft. Wer in der Altmühl baden will sollte einen Stop in Leutershausen einplanen. Das schön gelegene, pittoreske Flussbad ist toll und einen Besuch wert. Wer dann noch richtig leckere Schitzelküche mag der sollte die Route kurz verlassen und nach Jochsberg zur Brauerei Reindler fahren. Bier und Speisen einfach super!

    Landschaftlich zum Ende hin immer toller werdend. Die km Angabe und die Höhenmeter stimmen nicht, sind beides mehr, da die Tour nicht genau am Radweg entlang führt!!
