Old Saale Bridge, Elfershausen

Highlight • Bridge

The Alte Saalebrücke in Elfershausen is a building made of sandstone blocks from the 17th century. The bridge, together with the bridge saint St. Nepomuk from the 18th century, is a listed building.

Forest path on the Saaletal Cycle Route in the Naturpark Bayerische Rhön

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is probably the only section on the Saaletal cycle path between Hammelburg and Gemünden, which has an almost “trail character” over a short distance. But it can still be done with a normal bike.

Franconian Saale Riverside Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This piece has long been a nuisance to cyclists.
One was not welcome in the Hurzfurt, the section across the street was very ugly and dangerous on top of that.
For the expansion here, the Saale was even relocated.
It is likely that even this expensive measure was accepted rather than messing with the owners of the Hurzfurt.

This year's multi-day tour takes us to the beautiful Rhön - "the land of faraway places" and if the weather cooperates, we'll go along the Rennsteig cycle path. The starting gun was fired today in Gemünden am Main. We drove the official bike path "Frankish Saale" to Bad Kissingen. A tip for a stop to strengthen yourself for today is …

With two changes, we travel in 4.5 hours on local trains from Munich to Gemünden am Main.
In mixed weather, we cycle along the Franconian Saale to Bad Kissingen. The cycle path is well marked and about half asphalted. The unpaved sections are often still very wet or muddy. In Hammelburg, we look at the market square, which is worth …

July 19, 2022,Fränkische Saale Radweg 2022: Gemünden am Main - Bad Kissingen

Today we did a tour in Bavaria, on the Franconian Saale. We parked the car in Bad Kissingen at the "In der Au" car park (free of charge). By bike to the train station and the train to Gemünden.

September 20, 2024,Radwanderweg Fränkische Saale - Tag 2 - Bad Kissingen - Gemünden am Main

One of my most beautiful bike tours in Germany. Part 1 from the Saale source near Alsleben to Bad Kissingen is very easy and can be ridden by both children and seniors without any problems, as the cycle path is almost entirely perfectly asphalted and has almost no incline. I did cycle on a heavy pedelec, but only used 20% …

By car to Bad Kissingen. By bike on the Saale cycle path (Franconian Saale) to Hammelburg and on to Gemünden/Main. Take the train back to Bad Kissingen. The cycle path, which is not asphalted at the beginning, often leads within sight of the Saale and along its banks. Beautiful bridges and weirs can be admired along the way. No significant …

June 20, 2022,Rhön1 Gemünden Bad Kissingen 55km

A very nice tour mostly along the Franconian Saale through a beautiful natural/cultural landscape. Mostly on paved bike paths away from traffic but there were also great gravel paths through cool mixed forest. This is how I imagine bike tours👍. Makes you want more 😊😎

August 5, 2025,Rhön-Rad-Reisen-Route (3) Gemünden - Bad Kissingen

Our third stage led us from Gemünden via Hammelburg to Bad Kissingen, directly along the Franconian Saale Cycle Path. Right at the start of the tour, we were once again surprised by an unexpected just-in-time event: the BR radio peloton had been announced for a drinks break at the Gemünden fairgrounds. The event takes place from Sunday to Friday.
