The Tauber is an idyllic, small river that rises near Weikersholz and flows into the Main River near Wertheim after approximately 130 km. It accompanies cyclists almost the entire length of the "Liebliches Taubertal" cycle path between Rothenburg ob der Tauber and Wertheim, offering many beautiful spots for rest stops.

The Schandtaubert Valley, which stretches southwest of Rothenburg to Bettenfeld, is a piece of untouched nature. Here, you can truly enjoy the tranquility and, along the way, learn interesting facts about everything from geology to historical hydropower use on the water management trail.

The Schandtauber is a 14-kilometer-long tributary of the Tauber River. It rises south of Gammesfeld on the Hohenlohe Plain and meanders as a trickle to Bettenfeld in Bavaria. There, water from a karst spring emerges from an underground cave system and supplies the Schandtauber with most of its water. The river then flows through the pristine Schandtauber Valley, past several mills, before flowing into the Tauber at the Schmelzmühle mill below Rothenburg.

A wonderful spot, unfortunately gravel has been added to the lower section and therefore only conditionally recommended with a trekking rag.

Along the Schandtauber from Bettenfeld Mittelmühle to Hammerschmiede the path is very bad, many fallen trees.
