After the ride on the Taubertal cycle path from Rothenburg o. d. Tauber to Wertheim, we took the train from Wertheim to Schrozberg and then cycled back to Rothenburg o. d. Tauber on the Hohenlohe Residence Trail.

By car to Wertheim and then by train to Schrozberg and from there 20 km to Rothenburg, from where we will ride the Tauber Valley cycle path back to Wertheim.
Accommodation in hotel "Zum Ochsen".
Simple but clean rooms, new mattresses and the best food at unbeatable prices.
No wonder that almost only locals can be found in the dining …

Well fortified, we set off in glorious weather on the first leg to Rothenburg o.d.Tauber to our first quarters at Rödertor. Be careful, do not turn left at the construction site near Leuzendorf following the signs, but instead follow the path straight ahead!
