Franconian Saale Riverside Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This piece has long been a nuisance to cyclists.

Forest path on the Saaletal Cycle Route in the Naturpark Bayerische Rhön

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is probably the only section on the Saaletal cycle path between Hammelburg and Gemünden, which has an almost “trail character” over a short distance. But it can still be done with a normal bike.

Mostly always along the Saale, through fantastic nature. I wanted to watch this again today. Because Hammelburg is easier to reach from us, I started the tour from Hammelburg. Always …

Today we're going on another tour along the Franconian Saale. A very nice cycle path, always along the Saale. We started in Hammelburg, which is easier to get to from us. If you want to go another five kilometres, you can cycle to Gemünden. There's also a better chance of stopping off here. There's nothing going on in Schönau apart …

A Sunday loop on the lower reaches of the Franconian Saale from the mouth in Gemünden to Hammelburg, from there further via Unter- and Obereschenbach over to the Wern valley, on the Werntalradweg from Gössenheim to Wernfeld and to the mouth of the river in the Main, and finally to the latter along back to Gemünden.
