Main Cycle Path | Bamberg - Würzburg

Individual journey to Bamberg. You should start your cycle tour with a tour of the city of Emperor Henry II, who dreamed of, built and loved Bamberg. It is not without reason that UNESCO has awarded the entire historic centre of Bamberg the title of ‘World Heritage Site’.

The Main Cycle Path takes you a few kilometres beyond Bamberg from the realms of ‘Beer Franconia’ to ‘Wine Franconia’. The cosy little half-timbered and wine-growing town of Zeil am Main is the first proof of this. Haßfurt lies at the foot of the Haßberge mountains. The River Main first takes you to the ‘ball bearing town’ of Schweinfurt. On a short tour, you will soon realise that Schweinfurt is more than just an industrial town.

Cycle comfortably along the well-developed Main cycle path through romantic villages, wide vineyards, extensive orchards and lush green meadows along the Main. Shortly before Volkach, you should pay a visit to Tilman Riemenschneider's most famous carving: The ‘Madonna in the Rosary’ in the pilgrimage church of St Mary. The best Franconian wines grow and flourish around here.

You cycle mostly directly along the Main towards the ‘sugar town’ of Ochsenfurt and then roll steadily along the right bank of the river, accompanied by barrages, marinas and vineyards. Again and again you pass charming little villages before finally reaching the vibrant city of Würzburg. The lively baroque and cultural city is surrounded by vineyards and is dominated by the Marienberg fortress.

After breakfast, individual return journey, return transfer or start of your extension.
