    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.

    Zum Kommentar vom Thomas Fullen: Die Kritik kann ich nur zum Teil nachvollziehen. Zu keinem Zeitpunkt kam ich auf eine Distanz von 80km. Ich bin der rot-gelben Markierung gefolgt und die Distanz betrug ca. 49km. Die Strecke war sehr schön laufbar (ca. 5 1/2 Stunden). Klar besteht sie nicht zur aus Höhepunkten und man muss grössere Straßen überqueren, aber das läßt sich bei dieser ehger dicht besiedelten Gegend kaum vermeiden. Ansonsten Zustimmung: Die Beschreibung im Internet konzentriert sich schon ziemlich auf die Höhepunkte...und läßt manch eher "unspannenden" Abschnitt außen vor. Mein Favorit: der Abschnitt um den Buchberg!!!

    Gestartet in Bernau und dann im Uhrzeigersinn gefahren. Sehr schöne Tour mit grandiosen Ausblicken. Die Wurzelpassagen waren etwas heftig für mich. Sehr empfehlenswert !

    Sehr empfehlenswerter Rundweg! Unheimlich gut markiert, kann man an sich auch ohne Karte gehen. Nach den verregneten Vortagen war es nur am Buchberg etwas rutschig, ansonsten alles top

    Tolle, abwechslungsreiche Tour mit vielen flowig weichen Trails! Technisch recht einfach zu fahren, die vielen Single-Trails machen trotzdem richtig Spaß. Die Anstiege sind machbar!
