Enjoy the new tracks round/through Nuremberg

Emitted latest changes I discovered.

 

MTB tours around Nuremberg and through the Frankenalb

Some paths may be dangerous ...

Enjoy here in [Bike Tours] some own bike tour tips suitable for recumbents and therefore for touring as well.

For all the muscle heroes: The long ramp from Behringersmühle up to Gößweinstein with its 18% is just well-known. But there is more to find: From Kirchensittenbach up to Stöppach long sweat-spilling 22%.

When not stated otherwise the tours here are to use with normal bikes as well. They are selected for people who also have an eye for nature and who need not always leave their trails everywhere. Therefore there is e.g. MTB downhill with lift in Osternohe.

By all means pay attention to the nature reserves and protected landscape, please.
And to nature in general.

Tours

To map material and info:

Links

Easily in most cases you can combine the tours. For orientation use a map for walking-tours scale 1:50 000 before or the Bayern Viewer, refer to the link on the left. (I prefer them instead of being depending on GPS and navigation system even on bike as well. And one gets a better orientation and impression what is in the surroundings.)

What the 5-Flüsse-Radweg (Five or 5 Streams Cycle Route) is for tourers, the Anton-Leidinger-Weg (Weg, Engl.: path) is for MTB. The feeder and a nice tour as well.

One-Way Street contra Detour
but there is always a way!

Durchfahrt beiderseits gesperrt!
Really valid for MTB?

Some photos from the region:

Eager for water - it does not leave a good impression when rumbling in an inn with the empty water bottle under ones arm, to stumble to the WC and to disappear again after some time with released smile, some belches and the full water bottle.
My tip for the fast tank stop: Usually nearly each larger village in the region has a cemetery with potable water connection (often marked by a church tower ,-). Only in the Rangau (around Ansbach) one must pay attention, because there are often cisterns only. If the water of a public well (tube) is not suitable for human consumption, you will usually find the sign »Kein Trinkwasser« (Engl.: No potable water).
Otherwise here a small selection of additional water places in the Reichswald and its neighborhood. Privileged those which lie central and are easy to reach by bike and are trustworthy as well. Many of them are already tested by me (and obviously I have survived ;-) Of course, I prefer those being clearly marked as suitable for human beings. Due to liability reasons it is common to downgrade wells to »Kein Trinwasser«.

Touring round and round

Entertainment tip - watch and take part: cycle race »Rund um die Nürnberger Altstadt« (Engl.: Around the Nuremberg Old Town).
Due to the doping scandals and the thereby caused spectator decrease a new event in September 2011 was endangered. In a small circle - to take literally: again as in the beginning 5 km rounds around the old town wall - it has taken place after all. Let's see what will happen in 2012.
