The lovely Tauber Valley, with sunny temperatures we drove from Rothenburg o.d.T. off and after a few meters were fascinated by nature, by the path and the area. Of course it was not only downhill but also uphill from time to time, but it can also be done without an e-bike. In Creglingen we strengthened ourselves in the bakery (the …

October 19, 2022,[BY] Rothenburg o.d.T. - Tauber-/Mühlenweg - Creglingen & retour🚴‍♂️🍂

We've heard a lot about the "lovely Tauber Valley". So rent a bike and explore it yourself. In search of mills (which are or were here in abundance) and sun, we came through the Schandtaubertal (which was also very inviting for hiking...) and the Taubertal. In constant uphill and downhill (and there were also steep climbs, which of course were …

A bike tour up and down through a beautiful landscape with 100% asphalt, with top speeds of over 50 km/h downhill, highly recommended. Without motor traffic, you shouldn't miss it.

Today we only go a short distance on the Gaubahn to Bieberehren. Then we finally reach the Tauber. With constant ups and downs we go through Creglingen and Detwang to Rothenburg. The inclines are sometimes a challenge even with a Pedelec. But when you go downhill you are rewarded for the effort beforehand. At speeds of up to 45 kmh …
