Sun, light to moderate NE wind, 28 degrees
Many former and one current quarry lake. Flat. Urban sprawl. We see the branch of the new high-speed railway line from Ebensfeld to Erfurt and the huge privacy walls on the 4-track expansion line to Bamberg. Still an orgy of concrete with new expressways. Early in Bamberg to avoid the afternoon heat. …

Today, I started late and then went through the spa gardens. Then, at a leisurely pace, I took a ride along the Main River. I haven't always been by the water, but I saw it a few times today.

Rattelsdorf looked familiar, and from there, I headed down the Itzgrund River to Bamberg. The rain forecast for 4 p.m. started …

Yesterday we tested the Obermain-Therme in Bad Staffelstein and had a wonderful wellness day. Is really recommended.

Today then drove another section of the Main Cycle Path to Bamberg. The beautiful sections are in the minority. Very often it goes on cycle paths directly along the street or on the street - side streets and because it was Sunday, thank …

We definitely had to go to Bamberg the last time we didn't see everything (and neither today). Beautiful, varied route through nature and villages, hardly any climbs. Definitely wanted to see the green market for professional reasons. Then the old town packed with tourists. Cycling over the Regnitz Bridge at the flea market was questionable, it was so narrow. Opposite …

The bike tour leads from Bamberg, Hallstadt, Kemmern to Bad Staffelstein mainly on well-developed bike paths on the Main and some road passages. Back mostly on bike paths and road via Scheßlitz and Memmelsdorf. There are plenty of good places to stop for refreshments on the tour. I had my stops at the Gasthof Jüngling in Zapfendorf (delicious roasts), Cafe …

Finally, we're back on the road! We're cycling our big 2025 bike tour and hoping for 1200 kilometers of fun.

Equipped with a new, larger tent, sleeping bags, a camping stove, and now also a bike trailer, we're embarking on a new cycling adventure together.

We'd love for you to join us again.

I actually wanted to take the train first and then cycle. But the elevator to the platform in Bamberg was broken. So I ended up doing the route the other way around. No big deal, it was flat anyway.
