River valley of the Fränkische Saale at the foot of the Rhön in northern Unterfranken. Predominantly flat to gently rolling profile along the river meadows; ideal for beginners, families, as well as pleasure cyclists and hikers. Well-maintained (mostly asphalted or finely gravelled) paths, largely away from motorized road traffic.
