Bad Kissingen Rose Garden

Highlight • Structure

This picture shows not the spa garden, not the spa park, but the rose garden. Historically, this beautiful facility was intended to be an urban counterpart to the state spa complex.

July 3, 2025,Sommerradreise Tag 5 Fränkische Saale 2

Unknown Germany, so beautiful.
Definitely recommended.
Dreamlike district, beautiful towns, and only a few climbs on mostly remote paths.
Cyclist's heart, what more could you want?

The fight against the wind. The gusty east wind only let us rest for a short time, otherwise we had to pay a lot of attention to driving. Start in Gemünden and in the most beautiful section of the Franconian Saale to Hammelburg. Caught the most expensive ice cream parlor of the whole tour there on the market square. Crossed …

June 14, 2023,Tauber - Main - Fränkische Saale Tag 2

Today we continued on the Franconian Saale cycle path towards Bad Neustadt an der Saale in glorious weather.
First, the path led us along the Saale to Hammelburg, the oldest wine town in Franconia. We continued to Bad Kissingen. Here we took a short break. It's a pity that you can't cycle through the Luitpoldpark...
Short break at the salt …

The plan: By bike and 49€ ticket from Mannheim to Berlin. Max. 6 days long.
3rd day/4th stage I noticed early on that the day would go differently than planned. The bike ride to Bad Kissingen was wonderful. The Franconian Saale again and again and a great bike path. Every now and then a castle in the distance. Idyllic places …

June 22, 2023,Sommerradtour von der Isar an die Weser Tag 6: Karlstadt - Bad Neustadt

Heat battle 🥵 Very exhausting today despite the flat route. Luckily there are no thunderstorms 👍 I follow two bike paths. To Gemünden the Mainradweg and from there the Saaleradweg. Overall, the route is pretty nice today and mostly away from traffic 😊 Places worth seeing are Gemünden, Hammelburg, Bad Kissingen and finally Bad Neustadt. But I also pass through …
