June 25, 2023,Rundradadtour von Gaustadt / Bamberg nach Zeil am Main

Beautiful bike tour, especially if the route runs directly along the Main, but unfortunately often also along the main road. But the small towns along the way also impress with beautiful houses, sometimes made of sandstone, sometimes half-timbered. For us it was a nice tour 🙂

Today we took a leisurely bike ride along the banks of the Main River. We stopped for lunch at the Göller brewery restaurant "Zur Alten Freyung" and for a beer on the way, once again at the Mainlust restaurant. The scenery is beautiful and the area is perfect for cycling and hiking.

We took advantage of the cool morning and set off via Eltmann and past Maria Limbach with a short stop at the church square in Sand am Main to Zeil am Main. There we cycled along the gardens by the city wall to Roberts Hof with its beer garden and Christine's farm shop. But we were more in the mood …

Well-developed bike paths, although most of them run along the main road. It's not always possible to cycle directly along the Main River, as several "islands" and tributaries cross the route. The towns are very beautiful, especially Bamberg with its medieval old town.
