Beautiful old town and great ice cream parlor.

Gemünden has a very beautiful old town

There are various restaurants here that invite you to take a break.

If you are travelling with a heavy Pedelec with saddlebags, it is very difficult to get on a train in Gemünden because, firstly, there is no lift to the tracks and, secondly, it requires help from a second person to climb the steep steps into the carriage.

Cyclists should definitely avoid Gemünden train station.

Even in May 2024, Gemünden station is a disaster, and not just for cyclists. No elevators on the platforms - conveyor belts on the platform stairs that are not in operation. Under the circumstances, that was the last time we started our tour in Gemünden.

Great and beautiful old town in Gemünden.

The place was first mentioned in 1243 in a contract between the Würzburg bishop Hermann I von Lobdeburg and Countess Adelheid von Rieneck. However, it is assumed that Gemünden had already been elevated to a town status by the Counts of Rieneck before 1243. Local tradition goes from a fishing settlement that was the origin of the later city. In 1317, Count Ludwig von Rieneck († 1333) received from Bishop Gottfried III. from Hohenlohe the town and Gemünden Castle.[7] Gemünden was the seat of the Gemünden office. From 1469, Gemünden finally belonged to the Bishopric of Würzburg. From 1500 the Würzburg Bishopric was part of the Franconian Imperial Circle. Prince-Bishop Rudolf II von Scherenberg built it as a bastion against the neighboring territories of Kurmainz and Fulda Monastery. In 1641, Jean Baptiste Budes de Guébriant's army was stationed near Gemünden, some of which had plundered and robbed right up to the gates of Würzburg.[8] As a result of the Imperial Deputation Main Conclusion in 1803, the Prince-Bishopric of Würzburg was annexed by Bavaria. Gemünden became a Bavarian district town. The local Schönau monastery was founded in 1189 by Philipp von Thüngen. A Minorite monastery since 1699, the monks primarily look after the monastery and pilgrimage church. As part of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818.
