This
was taken along the Altmuhltal River trail. It's a popular bike touring route
for many of the local Germans. Most of the trail is very good and well marked.
Parts of it are dirt but very well packed and easy to ride.
While leaving town the next morning I rode past this SMART Car display. That
night I got as far as Straubing where I stayed at the hostel.
The
next night I got to Passau which is just before the Austrian border. Three
rivers meet here, the Ilz from the north, the Danube coming from the west
and the Inn from the south. The old part of Passau is on a spit of land between
the Danube and the Inn. The river in this picture separates Germany from Austria.
One
of the side streets in Passau.
This
picture was taken from the hostel on the hill above town. The road up is real
steep!
It's
mostly flat and the campgrounds are frequent. I stayed one night in Dollnstein
and one night further down the river in Beilngries.
The
Altmuhltal River empties into the Danube and within a few hours I was in Regensburg
where I stayed one night at the campground
