Bike tour through the region Franconia

Bike tour at Tauber and Main

Start and destination of this circular tour is the highlight: Rothenburg ob der Tauber. You cycle from the gentle Tauber Valley on the romantic Main river and pass the impressive residential town of Wurzburg and many small timber-frame towns, forts, castles and monasteries. Wine-makers produce excellent wines here and lovers of beer will also find what they are looking for. Discover Francian hospitality here in this border area between Bavaria and Baden-Wurttemberg. Mostly along cycle paths and quiet farm paths. A few sections are along quiet roads.

Itinerary

Rothenburg ob der Tauber is, especially abroad, the epitome of medieval town romance and has been immortalised by artists such as Spitzweg and Richter. Let the night watchman guide you through the the old town centre in the evening and learn all sorts of things about life in Rothenburg.

You follow the Tauber river and cross a mountain range on an old railway line. Down to the Main valley to Ochsenfurt which is enclosed by a well-preserved medieval fortification.

Take a stroll through Wurzburg and visit the majestic Residence. Cycle through vineyards to Gemunden or Rieneck.

Follow the Main to Wertheim, located at the confluence of the Main and Tauber rivers. Enjoy the view over the landscape you have crossed from the remains of an old castle.

Upstream along the Tauber you cycle through more vineyards, passing Tauberbischofsheim and the romantic city of Bad Mergentheim before you get to Weikersheim.

In Creglingen you can visit the „Lindleinturm“, an example for rural life in the 18th century. Another very specialmuseum on you way is the thimble museum.

wunderbare Tour
Jedes Hotel hatte etwas Besonderes. Hervorragender, persönlicher Service. Hinweis in den Unterlagen in Weikersheim auf das Sternerestaurant wär gut gewesen. Rothenburg eher Jugendherbergsatmosphäre. Wir starteten in Wertheim. Auch gute Alternative. Wirklich schöne Landschaft. Besonders herausragend: Gaubahnradweg!

Mit den Rädern durch die schöne Landschaft an dem Main und der Tauber, bei super Wetter, war für uns vier Radler schon ein highlight. Auf gut ausgebauten Wegen konnten wir sicher und gemütlich fahren. Unterkünfte sehr zentral , um die jeweilige Stadt zu erkunden.
