Pic taken next to the Frauenberg chapel in Eichstätt, Bavaria, Germany. The official path/avenue is too far on the right to be included in the pic, hope this still counts

The Altmühl valley is a popular bike or canoe tourist destination.

Useless information: The Altmühl is the slowest river in Bavaria.

Which is the reason why so many old people do bike tours here, sometimes in groups > 50 (people as well as age). Which is fun as the bike infrastructure is often outdated.
