The site
Camping Kratzmuhle nestled between the Altmuhl river and a gentle wooded slope with 400 pitches. A choice of shaded or sunny, with a river view or on the meadow. It is in the heart of Bavaria surrounded by beautiful relaxing and cyclable nature.

Off Site

There are a limited amount of car parking spaces at the campsite should you wish to bring your car to the start.

Meeting Place
We have booked the 'partyroom' for the duration of the rally. A place to meet and hang out for rally goers and cyclecampers and it is the perfect place to have breakfast and to relax after the rides in the company of others. There is also a campers kitchen underneath this room for any campsite user.
Toilets and Showers
Plenty of facilities on site.
The Area
The Nature Park Altmühltal, covering 3,000 square kilometres at the heart of Bavaria, is one of Germany's largest nature parks. The idyllic riverside scenery is dotted with bizarre rock formations and juniper heathland. The region is also home to a wealth of cultural treasures, including castles, palaces, churches, abbeys and Roman relics along the Roman Limes UNESCO World Heritage Site. Quarries and fossil museums are ready to take visitors even further back in time if you wish.
Evening activities
A full range of activities is planned for the rally including welcome evening, tandem games, trips out and tandem interest evenings. Further details to follow.
Rides
A choice of 3 rides a day will be available, ranging from 25 to 65 miles. These will explore the many sites and cafes in the surrounding area. These will head out the same way each day, allowing you to mix with everyone and to choose on the day if you’d like to extend or shorten a ride. A couple of communal coffee stops will be organised, where a single place will be chosen after about 10-15 miles where coffee/tea and cake will be provided to bring us all together in one place. Rides are offered in a GPX format but also as route sheets which will be checked before the event giving turn by turn instructions and also pointing out the places of interest and places to eat along the way.

What to expect on a ride
For those that have not yet attended a Tandem Club rally, we do not go out as a large group. Instead we tend to set off in small groups, so that we do not swamp the local roads. Each rally attendee is expected to bring their own printed copy of the route instructions and to have downloaded the gpx track files to their device. These will be published to those booked on the rally about 1 month before the start of the rally. The GPX routes, description and detailed information for each ride will be available later.
Surfaces and dangers
The majority of riding will be on tarmac roads. details to come
