July 2, 2022, Bad Mergentheim-Schrozberg-Rothenburg o.d.Tauber-#Hohenloher Residenzen (02.07.22P)

Thank God I didn't run into extraterrestrials on World UFO Day. Whereby the danger grew steadily with the extensive visits to the beer garden. So I have to be content with the traces of the "blue-blooded" nobility.

We took the train from Schrotzberg to Igersheim...

From Detwang near Rothenburg by bike comfortably to Schrozberg. The train takes us to Elpersheim. From there on the Tauber Cycle Path back to Detwang. On the tour Weikersheim should be driven through. A detour to or in the castle with the adjoining garden is worthwhile.

From Markersheim station by bike on the train to Schrotzberg to the starting point. The end point is Markersheim again.

A very nice tour through a magnificent landscape. At the beginning, we had strong backs🌬, which, however, developed into a 💩🥵headwind🌬 with each kilometer. Then our phone battery ran out, so the last 15 km weren't recorded.
