    Einfache Runde über Schotter- und Waldwege mit teils recht feuchten Wegen. Leichte Wege mit unerheblichen Steigungen.

    Netter kleiner Rundweg. Ab Pumpwerk etwas weglos. Hier könnte man auch geradeaus nach Siegenhofen gehen.

    Die Tour hatte wir im 1.-4. Juli 2021 geradelt. Gestartet sind wir in Lauf an der Pegnitz. Die ersten zwei Tage ging es an der Pegnitz, Vils, Naab entlang: sehr idyllisch, sehr schöne Natur und kleine Ortschaften und haben fast niemanden getroffen - Altmühl belebter - Ludwig-Main-Donaukanal sehr schön, aber nach endlosen km mit nur Wäldern und Fluss sehr eintönig - kaum landschaftliche Abwechslung. Sehr zu empfehlen :) - Aber die Höhenmeter sind wohl auf nur eine Etappe zu sehen: insgesamt waren es über 2.000 hm !!

    Ein toller Weg. Wir sind gestartet in Essing. Startpunkt Kirchplatz. Bis Nürnberg entlang am Ludwig-Main-Donau Kanal gute Wege fester Kies. 4 Etappen Essing-Neumarkt Unterkunft Kloster St. Josef gute Radlerunterkunft. Neumarkt-Hersbruck und Hersbruck-Schmidmühlen ein Teil dieses dritten Abschnittes ist etwas Kondition erforderlich einige Steigungen danach kommen aber schöne Bahntrassenwege. Rundum toller Weg. In Essing tolle Einkehr-und Übernachtungsmöglichkeit der Felsenwastlwirt.

    Wirklich eine sehr schöne Rundtour - und das alles auf ausgewiesenen Radwegen. Sehr empfehlenswert! - Zeit für diverse Sehenswürdigkeiten einplanen! (u. a. Hoibruck, und auf jeden Fall Kastl und Hohenburg!) Auch der Startpunkt ist gut gewählt, weil der (sanfte) Anstieg über dem Schweppermannradweg bis vor Kastl dann gleich am Anfang kommt.
