View of Miltenberg’s Main Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The arch bridge was first built in natural stone masonry in 1900 and was rebuilt in reinforced concrete after it was destroyed in 1945. Regardless of its practical use, it is a real eye-catcher.

Departure at 8:00, there's a lot to see today. Marktheidenfeld for breakfast, Wertheim too early for a lunch break, which I then took in Freudenberg. All very beautiful half-timbered towns. As far as cycle paths and sights are concerned, the Main cycle path can keep up with the Danube cycle path. I think they're both equally beautiful.
It was very …

Nice, quiet tour. Maybe just because it's Monday. During the holiday season and at the weekend it's definitely busier. The quality of the paths varies between very good and adequate. There are tarred sections, but also gravel sections. Here you could see bike tracks. When it's wet, there's probably mud on the surface. Some sections are certainly too narrow for …

Nice tour on the Main, unfortunately the weather didn't keep what it promised. Instead of sun and 21 degrees, we drove under a cloud cover (or was it Sahara dust?) at 14 degrees. Komoot was also completely confused and sometimes recorded zig-zag😅 (I wasn't drunk 😄). I wish you all a happy Easter 🐰🐣🐇

A nice, easy route, but unfortunately it rained on the way there and back.
But it didn't rain during the lunch break in the café or outside either 😉

Today we started by car to Kreuzwertheim.
The four of us set off here at 10:30 a.m. 🚴🚴🚴🚴. Downstream along the Main River 😀, our first stop was at Henneburg Castle 🏰.
The climb was manageable and rewarded with a view 👀 of the beautiful Main Valley.
The castle is worth seeing and has been in operation for about three …

Today's bike tour took us to Wertheim. The beautiful and well-developed Main Cycle Path led us through Freudenberg, Collenberg, and Dorfprozelten to our destination for the day. The route includes a total of five castles and a few locks. After approximately 33 kilometers of flat terrain, we stopped for a direct view of the imposing Wertheim Castle. With a detour …
