Since the forecast was for such "scorching" temperatures again today, I decided to stay in Bamberg for another day and take a refreshing dip. In the Bamberger Hain public park, you can get into the Regnitz, float, and then come back to dry land 100 meters further on. Wonderful!🥵👙💦🌞
Afterwards (recorded), I cycled along the Main-Danube Canal to Hirschaid and …

Today, with a strong wind, we sailed from Hirschaid along the canal through the city park into Bamberg's city center.
