Rolls really well, long on the canal is also beautiful, but ships are rarely seen.

You might think that a bike tour along a canal isn't interesting. But if you take a little time, the Main-Danube Canal between Bamberg and Strullendorf shows its beautiful, varied sides – and with a bit of wildlife 😉.

June 17, 2025,Tour 2 Hotel Andres, Bamberg, Regnitz entlang, Main-Donau-Kanal bei Hirschaid,Buttenheim Levi Strauss Museum, Senftenberger Felsenkeller, Rundtour

From Bamberg, along the beautiful Regnitz River, through shady forests and the Main-Danube Canal, to Buttenheim, to the Levi Strauss Museum (the father of all jeans), unfortunately only open from 2:00 PM. Continue with a steep climb to the Senftenberg Felsenkeller wine cellar. Stop for lunch. Return along the Main-Danube Canal to Bamberg...
