Today my daughter and I went to the Main. I found this tour on Komoot and saved it. We parked the car at the sports grounds in Bergrheinfeld. From there we went straight onto the Main cycle path. But the separate cycle path only ran along the road, and we didn't see the Main until about 8 - 9 km …

We got "lost" at the beginning because we thought we could push through the forest, but at some point (see map) it was no longer possible because there was too much of a gradient, it became increasingly slippery and narrower... So we went back and took the “correct” bike path. Yippee

Jungle trail after the rain was bsd exciting. I kind of enjoy driving in the mud. Had to push partially to avoid slipping into the water, but it wasn't much. Then, when the weather is nice, the cycle paths on the Main again.

We took the camper to the Löffler car dealership for repairs and hopped on our bikes in the meantime.

Continuing along the Main River toward Volkach.

Why is the Main River so beautiful?

Is it the good weather ☀️, the beautiful scenery, the good food, and/or the good 🍷? Or the many campsites?

It starts at a hot 33 degrees ☀️😰, from the parking lot in Bergrheinfeld via Garstadt, Wipfeld, Untereisenheim (the Hundertwasserhaus, winery 🍷 with good types of wine) Obereisenheim, up to the Vogelsburg with a great view of the Mainschleife we went downhill to Volkach.
After the lunch break in Volkach with bratwurst and sauerkraut, Schäuferle and Franconian snacks, fortified via …

A short autumn tour where the temperature was not to be underestimated... There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad K...... Yeah, we all know that.... Not only seeing the sun again, but also feeling it is something... Get off the sofa, get on the bike and get into life ✨👍🏾🚴

It's great when cyclists have the entire width of the road at their disposal! Along the way, there were plenty of stops for food, drinks, information, music, and, of course, great cycling weather ☀️
