Old Bockenfeld Station and Railway Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Comfortable bike path that leads directly past the café in the old Bockenfeld train station. It is open on Wednesday and Sunday and is a great place to stop.

The castle from the 13th century now houses a very good hotel and is exposed above Colmberg: there is a golf course at its feet.

It is worth going down. A place to linger, marvel and enjoy. Very nicely done, the whole ensemble here.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber — Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Rothenburg is considered one of Germany's best-preserved medieval old towns, and the first glimpse of the half-timbered facades around the market square immediately shows you why. If you have some …

We really wanted to spend an evening in Rothenburg o.d. spend deaf. This weekend is the day 🥰. After our arrival today we cycled the blue wing of the wheel butterfly. A very idyllic round, sparsely populated. We really enjoyed the tour.
And now let's enjoy this fantastic city...

April 27, 2024,Rothenburg ob der Tauber – Rundweg Blauer Schmetterling

Today we treated ourselves to a little tour around Rothenburg ob der Tauber.

We had barely set off and already had our first slump 😉

The tour was based on the "blue 🦋 circular route"

We cycled up to Colmberg Castle briefly to enjoy the view.

At the end there was a delicious homemade sausage salad,

A wonderful circular tour, highly recommended. Very well marked, alternating between side roads, paved paths, and easy-to-ride gravel roads. Be sure to stop at the café in Colmberg.

Unfortunately, the elevation gain is incorrect again; it was probably around 790 meters 😉

Today we drove the first round of the Franconian Cycle Butterfly. The weather wasn't as sunny as the photo with the sunflower shows, rather shady. But we didn't have any rain and that's something. We started out towards Colmberg on quite good paths. You look in vain for a marketplace there, we had expected a little more. At least the …

Rothenburg is definitely worth a visit. This seems to be known in China too, as our Asian friends flock to the beautiful little town...☺️.
The medieval city wall with its multitude of towers and gates is still completely intact and very impressive. The many old half-timbered houses in the old town center are really beautiful. You can sit, enjoy and …

🎶 .... Now the staff and habit of the traveling scholars is enough for me .... 🎶

The third wing took me to Colmberg today, where a town festival was just taking place. From there it always followed the course of the Altmühl up to Hornau, where (controversially) the origin of the Altmühl is at Hornauer Weiher. Here I finally …
