Introduction

The Altmühltal cycling path, or Altmühlweg, begins at Rothenburg ob der Tauber, south of Würzburg, and ends at Kelheim on the Danube, south-west of Regensburg. The Altmühlweg is one of the oldest and, according to the ADFC, one of the most popular cycle routes in Germany. (Based on Wikipedia.) Bikeline's estimate of the distance is 230Km.

Our plan (see spreadsheet below) was to cycle the distance in 5 days (average 46Km/day) without rest days.

In reality, we cycled 254Km in 5 days (average 51Km/day).

Much effort went into making the data files listed below. See here for copyright and licensing.
