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.

May 10, 2024,Liebliches Taubertal "Tag 1" Auf dem Klassiker von Wertheim bis Creglingen

I already cycled the section from Wertheim to Bieberehren in June and August 2022 on the Main-Tauber-Fränkischer-Radachter. The cycle path along the Tauber is always nice to ride. Rightly a 5 🌟 cycle path.

Great tour from Craiglingen to Wertheim 🚴‍♂️.
Great places including Bad Mergentheim and Tauberbischofsheim 👍.
However, the route is demanding, because starting from about 10 km before Wertheim, 6 steep climbs follow. The area along the Tauber compensates for the effort 🙋‍♂️. In Wertheim you can then "reward or compensate" yourself with a cool drink 🤣

July 29, 2026,Dorfprozelten - Bieberehren - Tauberrettersheim

Unfortunately, we did not like the accommodation in Bieberehren, so we had to go back to Tauberrrettersheim to another accommodation.
Unfortunately, there was no restaurant open in the town, so we had to walk 4.5 kilometers to eat and back again. This day was packed 😃😃😃

July 20, 2023,🚴 💯 km - Liebliches Taubertal 20.07.2023🚴💯

After my orthopedic appointment in Karlstadt a.Main, I drove straight on to Rothenburg ob. der Tauber by car and bike, on the back of the carrier. From here we went on the Tauber cycle path to Wertheim, where the Tauber flows into the Main.
Overall a nice tour with some inclines.
The worst part was the headwind from start to …

June 13, 2022,💯 Rothenburg odT nach Wertingen Taubertal

Yesterday followed the Tauber from the source to Rothenburg and today it continues to the point where it flows into the Main.
Good bike paths, sometimes small roads. The Tauber is mostly a brook of dubious color but the tour was fun. In Weikersheim you could plan cultural heritage, e.g. a visit to the castle.
In the last third, the …
