Description

Day 1: Rothenburg ob der Tauber
The picture book town of Rothenburg starts off your cycling holiday. Rothenburg entices visitors from all over the world, being the epitome of German romance. Discover the picturesque buildings of the medieval old town, which is surrounded by two walls. A visit to the St. Jakobs-Church is a must, where the famous altar of the wooden sculptor Tilman Riemenschneider can be found.

Day 2: Rothenburg ob der Tauber – Dinkelsbühl (60 km/37 mi)
The first destination of your cycle tour is the town of Schillingsfürst, whose baroque castle complex can be seen from afar, as it rises above the city. Before you reach the town, there is a small ascent to be overcome, as it lies on a mountain spur. Your stage destination is Dinkelsbühl in the Wörnitz valley. The city centre is rimmed with colourful town houses. Enjoy the Franconian delicacies in one of the traditional inns.

Day 3: Dinkelsbühl – Nördlingen (40 km/25 mi)
Today you cycle into an area of high geological interest, the Nördlinger Ries. Stage destination is the former free empire city of Nördlingen, which has the only completely preserved and passable city wall in Germany. One can enjoy a unique view from Daniel, the 90 meter high bell tower of the St. Georg Hall church. Another feature of urban development is the Gerberviertel (tanner quarter), which is almost preserved in its original state. Those interested in geology should pay a visit to the Rieskrater-Museum.

Day 4: Nördlingen – Donauwörth (40 km/25 mi)
You pass Harburg, whose castle is enthroned high above the valley. You continue on to Donauwörth, which lies at where the Wörnitz mouths into the Danube. The centre piece of the city is the magnificent Reichsstraße. The cathedral and the Café Engel are just some of the stately town houses here. Another feature is the Käthe Kruse Doll Museum.

Day 5: Donauwörth

🙋 Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own bike?
Of course! You can participate in any tour with your own bicycle or rent one. However, we recommend renting because not all spare parts are the same, and only with our bikes can we guarantee the best mechanical assistance.
What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.
How do I know if a tour is within my capabilities?
We classify tours on a scale from 1 to 5 based on length, elevation, and complexity of the itinerary, but if you have doubts, contact us and we will help you find the most suitable journey for you.
What is the cost of renting bicycles?
The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
Are rented bikes equipped with accessories like lights or bags?
Yes, rented bicycles are equipped with all necessary accessories to comply with road traffic regulations (lights, bell, etc.). A lock, repair kit, and a bag to carry everything you need for a day in the saddle are always included in the rental. Additionally, we offer the option to request extra accessories based on your needs.
