CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
157 km from Regensburg to Regensburg, about 2 h 59 of riding. It goes by way of Weltenburg‐Am Galget - Kleinkastell, Fort site and civil settlement of Pfoerrin, Watchtowers WP 15/11 to 15/26 and fortlets and back through Watchtowers WP 15/11 to 15/26 and fortlets.
Speed drops and stays down. Park rather than crawl through. 32 km through ground somebody thought worth listing. The road passes it rather than bypassing it.
Romans buried their dead outside the city walls, along the roads, so that travellers would pass the tombs and remember the names. West of the fortress of Castra Regina, beside the road that led towards Augsburg, lay a very large cemetery, and the burial field has been found and excavated bit by bit as the modern city expanded. Thousands of graves have been recorded, with both cremation and burial, and the finds include pottery, glass, coins, jewellery and tombstones that tell us who lived and died here.

Regensburg - Großes Gräberfeld is where the day begins. Next is Weltenburg‐Am Galget - Kleinkastell.
The Danube does something unexpected just upstream of Kelheim. Instead of wandering across flat Bavarian farmland, it cuts straight through a band of white Jurassic limestone, squeezed between cliffs that rise steeply from the water. This is the Weltenburg Narrows, and on the hill above the abbey at Weltenburg, at the spot called Am Galget, the Romans put a small fort to watch the river and the frontier.

Weltenburg‐Am Galget - Kleinkastell comes up about 31 km into the recorded legs. Next is Fort site and civil settlement of Pfoerrin.
Between Ingolstadt and Kelheim, the Danube flows through a broad, flat valley in Bavaria, with hop gardens, fields of maize and asparagus beds on its banks. Pförring is a small market town on the north bank, with Neustadt an der Donau and Vohburg on the other side. In Roman times, this was the frontier: the Raetian Limes ended at the Danube just downstream, and the Romans built a fort here, known as Celeusum, with a civil settlement outside its walls.

about 51 km into the recorded legs you reach Fort site and civil settlement of Pfoerrin. Next is Watchtowers WP 15/11 to 15/26 and fortlets.
The Altmühl valley in Bavaria is one of Germany's best kept riding secrets, a winding river valley cut deep into Jurassic limestone, lined with juniper heaths, rock towers and castles. Near where the valley meets the Danube, the Roman frontier, the Raetian Limes, ran across the land, and the stretch of watchtowers and small forts numbered WP 15/11 to 15/26 lies in the wooded hills here, between Riedenburg, Dietfurt and the Danube town of Vohburg.
