October 5, 2022,1b. Mainradweg vom Mainzusammenfluss nach Lichtenfels
Kilometers 29 to 65 of the tour. Should be enough for the first day.

Today we continued from Kulmbach via Burgkunstadt to Lichtenfels. We saw the Main more often today than yesterday. The route is well signposted and easy to ride.

Showing Translation

With bike and tent 6 days along the Main from Kulmbach to Mainz. What I didn't know before planning! The Saar and the Main have something in common (resolution on the 6th stage)

Showing Translation

Another wonderful day in Franconia... the Main River is slowly becoming a real river....
