This is one of the most common rides for our community, to Herzogenaurach and back. You might even find us in the morning on our way there, or in the afternoons on our way back.
In case you don't know, this little Bavarian town is home to two of the biggest sports companies in the world, PUMA and Adidas. This ride is about 22km from downtown Nuremberg and follows the Pegnitz river West. It’s an easy enough ride to carry a backpack, and once you reach Herzo you might be tempted to do some shopping. You have the option to simply ride back the same way, or to extend…
We added an extra 45km on the way back, as the area has plenty to offer. Be warned that this second half features more hills (and many more Bavarian landscapes to take in).
What we like about it:
- Mostly flat, perfect for all levels
- Good tarmac, medium to low traffic, and plenty of bike lanes
- Around 40km, and if you want to add even more hills, you could extend to Cadolzburg, a beautiful town at the top of a hill.
