Old Cycle Path Ostheim–Stockheim

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The old bike path is more beautiful in the summer and quiet to drive, you drive almost only in the shade and has no traffic.

Shops and restaurants are located all around the market square. The individual buildings from different eras, including the half-timbered houses, are also worth seeing. There are plenty of places to sit around the water features. Weather permitting, restaurants also set up outdoor seating in the market square.

1 x across the Rhön. In Oberelsbach we had a good breakfast at the Lenhardt bakery.

We continued via Unterelsbach, Bastheim, Geckenau to Unsleben to Roswitha Amschler's natural garden (open to every garden lover free of charge) and on to Heustreu up to the Harvest Crown. 👑 What a great view over the Streutal to the Hochrhön. MEGA.
