Ebermannstadt is the central city in the heart of Franconian Switzerland.

The slender church tower of the St. Nikolauskirche shows the way to the old town of Ebermannstadt with its historic island location. The bustling market place lined with chestnut trees is the center of the city. The small shops, cafes, restaurants and ice cream parlors invite you to stroll and linger. Old half-timbered houses, quiet alleys, the enchanting Marienkapelle and two picturesque barn quarters testify to an eventful past. With the signposted QR city tour you will learn a lot about the history of the city. The picturesque water scoop is the symbol of the city, which still today gently ripples the water from the meadow.

The historical landmark of Ebermannstadt is located in the center of the city. The 17th century mill still rotates today. It is driven by the meadow. On the opposite side of the river is the city center with lots of opportunities to eat.

March 27, 2022,Blick auf Burg Egloffstein – Blick ins Trubachtal Runde von Bärnfels

Nonsensical ramp up the forest at kilometer 40, also blocked with a fallen tree. At Sachsenmühle just stay on the main road, don't take the small path through the mill!

Today we took a few side roads and avoided a few gravel bike paths. Otherwise, it was a nice tour.

Today we made a round through many beautiful and popular places in Franconian Switzerland. Caught a flat tire on the way back and got help from a nice local pensioner.

We tested our bikes with luggage today... perfect. Even small trails were no problem.
We always like to drive this round... especially in this weather 😎🌞
