April 14, 2023,Volkach - Kitzingen und zurück

Unfortunately, the ferry to Albertshofen was out of service, so the planned shortcut didn't work out. So on to Kitzingen with a delicious ice cream break. Then on the other side of …

Volkach is a real highlight, but a lot is being restored at the moment. Signposting very good, with detours for cyclists on the open route. Thumbs up. Here, too, the Main can be navigated on both sides, very nice.
