Impressive loop at the Danube harbour in Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany
This interesting route leads around the harbour in the north of the city. It starts to the east on Hafenstraße and initially runs south along the harbour. There is always something new to see, as this inland harbour in the Nuremberg city area is a huge transhipment terminal and at the same time a very well-known landing stage for cruise ships. Nuremberg is connected to international waterways via the Main-Danube Canal, which is why the Danube harbour is so important. The route then continues to the Reichelsdorfer Keller district, where Germany's oldest cycling racetrack is located. Refreshments are available en route.
The start is at the car park on the A73. However, it is also possible to join the tour from Nuremberg-Reichelsdorf railway station.

- Harbour area
