I ride the RMD Weg very often and love it. Fantastically developed and is to be (according to Mr. Söder) even better developed between Nuremberg and Bamberg in 2026/2027.

The Sichhaus Chapel in Forchheim is located in the immediate vicinity of the Old Bridge. It is a small, inconspicuous building with a long history. It originally served as part of a medieval hospice, a facility for the care of lepers and other outcasts. Over the centuries, the chapel has been rebuilt and altered several times. Today, it presents itself as a simple Baroque building. Inside, there is a small altar and several religious statues. The chapel is a place of silence and contemplation, reminiscent of the social welfare of times past. Its proximity to the Old Bridge, an important transportation hub, underscores its importance to the people of Forchheim over the centuries.
