Wiesent Valley Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

The very beautiful Wiesenttal, in which only one or two little hills have to be conquered. One tip is to take a break in the Sachsenmühle, which you pass by.

June 3, 2026,Blick auf Größweinstein und Pottenstein - Runde von Burggaillenreuth

Incredibly varied beautiful route. Really almost like paradise.
Small negative points: the route repeatedly leads across roads. Some of them are heavily trafficked.
From about 25 km onwards, the route becomes very off-road and can only be managed by riding an MTB. With our touring bikes, we had to push. 😉 But for experienced MTBer's it's surely a dream.
