Handthal Vineyards Loop — Final Day Ride
A short but demanding ride from Ebrach, climbing toward Handthal and then descending into Oberschwarzach and the vineyard village of Kammerforst.
The long uphill sections tested the legs after several intense days, but the views over the vines — and tasting a few grapes along the way — made every…

Eclipse Ride — 20 km of Light, Shadow & Renewal
Eclipse Ride —
A short 20 km ride from Dietendorf to Treppendorf, passing through Burgebrach and Grasmannsdorf, but lived as something much bigger.
The eclipse turned the landscape into a different world: cows standing in half‑light, fields glowing in strange colors, and the sky shifting between gold and shadow. Everything…

What started as a quick pharmacy run on a scorching 37°C day turned into a full summer bike adventure.
I left Dietendorf and rode through Grasmanndorf, Oberharnsbach, Unterneuses and finally Burgheberach.
I passed by the Steigerwaldklinik and slipped behind the helipad, entering the forest paths of the Wald Erlebnis Burgheberach.

A 42 km summer adventure starting in Dietendorf and moving through Ampferbach, Grasmanndorf, Burgebrach and Vollmannsdorf before reaching Mönchhansbach — the first gateway to the forest.
