Nuremberg

Nuremberg's running culture centres on the flat Main-Danube Canal towpath and the Nürnberg Marathon course, which loops through the Altstadt and surrounding parkland at around 300m elevation. Cyclists thrive in the Franconian landscape east and north of the city: the 30. Herpersdorf-Cup (165km) and Gravelride Von der Aurach in den Steigerwald (85km) showcase the region's rolling terrain and forest routes that rise gradually into the Steigerwald hills, with plenty of gravel and dirt-track options across the ponds and farmland typical of Middle Franconia.
