View of the vineyards along the Main Cycle Path

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Mainradweg is particularly impressive here. The river has dug deep into the landscape and the slopes offer the best conditions for good wine.

Just before the Tauber flows into the Main, the colorful houses move very close to the shore. Here you will also find some nice places to stop where you can strengthen yourself and enjoy the atmosphere.

Old Stone Bridge over the Tauber

Highlight • Bridge

Very nice place to cross the Tauber. But always make sure that you are not overlooked by oncoming traffic (cars). The bridge is quite narrow.

July 11, 2022,Marktheidenfeld/Lauda Königshofen Servus Main🚢 Hallo Tauber🌻

The last few kilometers on the flowery bank cycle path and then the farewell to the Main in Wertheim, the northernmost town in Baden-Württemberg. Another beautiful old town through which we pushed the bikes, marveling at the craftsmanship of days gone by. And then they have us again, the endless grain fields on the Tauber, beautiful sections of forest, a …

Triefenstein Monastery can only be visited by appointment. The tunnel is nice and cool 🥶 in the heat and a bit scary 👻.

Today start at Lohr am Main at still quite fresh 13°.
The Main Cycle Path is at its most beautiful where the valley is narrower and the road runs far away.
