    The Gaubahn Cycle Path is an approximately 37-kilometer-long cycle path in Tauber-Franconia. About 26 kilometers of this runs along the route of the former Gaubahn. It connects the Main Cycle Path near Ochsenfurt with the Tauber Valley Cycle Path near Bieberehren.

    Between 1907 and 1992, until its closure, the Gaubahn connected the Tauber and Main valleys. The last passenger train ran on the line on May 3, 1992. Dismantling of the tracks began in 1994, before the expansion of the cycle path began in 1996. Between 2010 (Acholshausen – Baldersheim) and 2011 (Ochsenfurt – Acholshausen and Baldersheim – Bieberehren), the former track bed was paved.

      This largely isolated cycle path is a beautiful connection between the Tauber and Main rivers. This little locomotive was also ironically nicknamed the "Gaublitz" because of its relatively low operating speed. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaubahn
