Weidendamm Riverside Path

Highlight • Trail

Just a cycle/pedestrian path... nothing special and by no means a highlight. Weidendamm is the name of the street above.

A beautifully maintained riverside path along the banks of the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal. Ideal for hiking, jogging, cycling, and walking. Its consistently good lighting also makes it ideal for early morning and late evening workouts.

Main-Danube Canal Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

You might think that a bike tour along a canal isn't interesting. But if you take a little time, the Main-Danube Canal between Bamberg and Strullendorf shows its beautiful, varied sides – and with a bit of wildlife 😉.

Rolls really well, long on the canal is also beautiful, but ships are rarely seen.

Located on the sunny side of the shore, there is a green area, a playground and a popular kiosk. Accordingly, quite well attended!

Very nice tour along the canal, due to the high temperature of 36 degrees we decided to go swimming in the Hainbad on the Regnitz👍🏼

Start of the season by bike! The nice weather called for an ice cream in Hirschaid!

First visit to Bamberg this year - today without the cathedral and rose garden.
Always beautiful.

Today, with a strong wind, we sailed from Hirschaid along the canal through the city park into Bamberg's city center.
After a short stroll past the town hall, back via Pettstadt and a delicious snack at the Schrauder Keller, we reached the ferry across the Regnitz.
