September 6, 2024,06.09. am Main entlang von Lichtenfels nach Bayreuth über Neudrossenfeld/Altenplos Teil 2 Bamberg/Bayreuth

Today we went from Lichtenfels to Bayreuth Marktplatz. Start at the train station, I saved myself the trip to and from the hotel. The cycle path is very well signposted, the "route navigation" was usually in the handlebar bag. The Main meadows are beautiful to cycle through, but you also go through a forest every now and then. With a …

Starting from Lichtenfels, it always went along the Main first to the confluence of the White and Red Main near Kulmbach. Then further along the Red Main to Bayreuth. You cross the Main several times, but usually don't get too close to it.

May 16, 2023,Mainradweg - Von Bayreuth bis Lichtenfels über Mainzusammenfluss bei Kulmbach

Bayreuth is really worth a trip and the confluence of the Main is also a beautiful natural phenomenon. Many small towns with beautiful churches along the way and almost everything off the main roads. Lichtenfels is really worth seeing but unfortunately deserted on Monday and Tuesday evenings.
