Very nice tour along the canal, due to the high temperature of 36 degrees we decided to go swimming in the Hainbad on the Regnitz👍🏼

Start of the season by bike! The nice weather called for an ice cream in Hirschaid!

June 19, 2025,unterwegs am Kanal Bamberg-Hirschaid

Since the forecast was for such "scorching" temperatures again today, I decided to stay in Bamberg for another day and take a refreshing dip. In the Bamberger Hain public park, you can get into the Regnitz, float, and then come back to dry land 100 meters further on. Wonderful!🥵👙💦🌞

Today, with a strong wind, we sailed from Hirschaid along the canal through the city park into Bamberg's city center.
After a short stroll past the town hall, back via Pettstadt and a delicious snack at the Schrauder Keller, we reached the ferry across the Regnitz.
