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.

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

Tour character

Easy to moderate

The cycle path runs almost exclusively along the banks of the Main, so the route is flat throughout and there are hardly any gradients to overcome. The paths are well developed, tarmac and well signposted. Suitable for beginners and families.
