A bit narrow in places, but the surface is good. There are often beautiful views over the river.

A beautiful path leads all the way around Lower Franconia's largest lake. The lake is a great place for a break. You can grab a snack at the kiosk and, if the weather's nice, sit on the sandy beach.

It's conveniently located near the bike path and open from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Hand soap is sometimes in short supply.

Freight traffic was discontinued on September 24, 1994, and passenger train service on July 31, 1995. Following approval by the Federal Railway Authority on September 19, 1995,[3] the line was closed on December 1, 1995. Dismantling was completed in January 1997.[2] The former station building in Hofheim has housed a small railway museum[4] on the history of the line and the railway in general since 1976.

On August 1, 1852, the railway reached Haßfurt with the Ludwigs-West-Bahn (Ludwigs-West Railway). It wasn't until forty years later, on March 15, 1892, that the Royal Bavarian State Railways opened the secondary line to Hofheim.[2] The basis for this was a treaty between the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, which ensured co-financing by the Saxon enclave of Königsberg and a corresponding route. Therefore, the line was not built directly from Haßfurt to Hofheim along the Nassach River, but a detour via Königsberg with a more complex route was chosen.[2] In 1965, the Haßfurt Gymnasium stop was built with a new school center, which ensured high passenger numbers for a long time.

The Haßfurt–Hofheim railway line was a single-track, 15.49-kilometer-long branch line from Haßfurt to Hofheim in Lower Franconia. It was also known locally as the "Hofheimerle" (Hofheimerle). The line was closed in 1995 and partially converted into a railway cycle path, part of the Haßfurt–Meiningen cycle path.
