Pettstadt Ferry

Highlight • Structure

The Pettstadt ferry connection can be traced back to the 14th century. As a punt ferry, it is propelled motorlessly across the river by the current, hanging on a steel cable. However, you should definitely inquire about the ferry times beforehand, otherwise you will be forced to turn back. We hiked during the winter months; there is no ferry service at all then. Normally, it operates from March 1st to October 31st from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

Main-Danube Canal Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

One might think that a bike tour along a canal wouldn't be interesting. But if you take a little time, the Danube-Main Canal between Bamberg and Strullendorf reveals itself from beautiful, diverse sides – and with a bit of wildlife 😉.

Well, the thing about the railway bridge is forbidden, but I didn't want to go all the way back either. The planks on the bridge are pretty rotten and partly loose. I pushed the bike and was happy when the bike and I were safely down again.
All in all it was a wonderful trip☺️
