Stone Bridge on the Sechsämterradweg

Highlight • Bridge

The cycle path on the former railway line is sanded but is still easy to ride on. It offers a relaxed ride away from traffic with relatively low gradients. We should do this more often!

Former Kirchenlamitz–Weißenstadt Railway Line

Highlight • Cycleway

A well-developed cycle path now runs along the line of the Kirchenlamitz-Weißenstadt branch line. On the relatively flat route you can get to some sights, e.g. the granite labyrinth, the Kneipp oasis or the Epprechtstein stop.
