Highlight • Cycleway

Very nice bike path to get among others from farm to Schwarzenbach an der Saale and back, surrounded by nature. It is usually good for two to drive next to each other, so that you can talk comfortably.

With the State Horticultural Show in 1994, the Saaleauen were also given an upgrade - from the path object by Johannes Peter Hölzinger to the Theresienstein, you can move around the garden show grounds at that time.

July 20, 2025,Saaleradweg+ Tag 1 Saalequelle nach Hof

Today I completed the first leg of the Saale Cycle Route.

I first took the train from Hof to Münchberg.
From there, it was a short climb to the source of the Saale.
From there, it was a steady downhill ride through beautiful countryside, occasionally following the Saale.
After just 20km, the stream had become a small river.
The last …

June 24, 2025,Saaleradweg - Tag 1: Münchberg - Unterkotzau☀️💨💨🌤️

The journey took the DB train🚝, changing trains in Frankfurt and Bamberg to Münchberg. The trains were almost on time, and there was enough space for bikes. Of course, one elevator was broken, and on the route to Hof, an old Pendolino with high, steep stairs was used. Both times, there were helping hands.

Take the train to Münchberg. The station is not recommended for cyclists, as there is no elevator, and bikes have to be carried up and down the stairs.

The first stage of the Saale Cycle Path was very beautiful. Unfortunately, I still haven't figured out how to caption the pictures.

On Sunday 22.08.21 I started my tour on the Saaleradweg in wonderful sunshine. The Berlin-Münchberg train connection went smoothly, and luckily the train strike did not begin until Monday morning. During the day it became more and more cloudy, but it stayed dry.
