    Sehr schöne Runde! Abwechslungsreich, mal Asphalt, mal Schotter, ein bisschen bergauf und bergab und fast die ganze Zeit auf Wegen ohne Autos. Super fürs Gravelbike, keine anspruchsvollen Mountainbike-Trails, aber auch nicht nur glatte Asphalt-Pisten. Vielen Dank fürs Hochladen :)

    Tolle Streckenführung, einige schöne kleine Täler sind fast schöner als das Altmühltal. Sehr abwechslungsreiche Oberfläche, viel auf kleinen Wegen. Nur der Schluss vor Weißenburg ist langweilig entlang der Bahnstrecke. Mit E- Bike an einem Stück machbar.

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

    Diese Tour haben wir an einem sonnigen und kalten Wintertag im seit langem mal wieder für unsere Region schneereichen Corona- Jahr 2021 gemacht. Start am Kirchbuck in Obereichstätt. Gleich am Hang die wohl längste Sitzbank Deutschlands. Ein Schlitten wäre bei der im Winter gesperrten Straße mit 16% Gefälle ideal gewesen.

    Tolle Tour, sehr abwechslungsreich und landschaftlich sehr schön. Schotter und Asphaltanteile lassen sich in der Gegend kaum vermeiden, halten sich aber in Grenzen. Auch für weniger geübte geeignet.

    Sehr schöne Tour mit vielen Trails und kleinen Wegen. Die Rückfahrt erfolgt nur über den Radweg. Hier kann man aber auch problemlos die Trails nochmal von der anderen Richtung her fahren. Die Tour sollte nur bei trockenem Untergrund gefahren werden, da es sonst schnell rutschig werden kann

    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!!
