Ebern Historic Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

The place Ebern itself is a really beautiful piece of earth. When you stand in front of its historic town hall with its impressive half-timbered art, you finally feel like you are in an earlier time. 😊

good alternative to the rather "boring" Itzgrund cycle path.
Narrow, well paved road, no significant traffic.
Can be wonderfully extended in both directions, i.e. both in the direction of Schottenstein and in the direction of Scherneck

Hohenstein Castle

Highlight • Castle

Today's Hohenstein Castle was first mentioned in a document in 1306 as "Castum Hohenstein in dem Grabfelde", i.e. as a castle. Countess Jutta von Henneberg was listed as the owner. In the following 150 years, the hilltop castle changed hands several times until Duke Wilhelm of Saxony, who gave the castle "zu dem Hohen Steyn" as a fief to the brothers Hans and Thomas von Lichtenstein. In 1466, the Bamberg vassals Kunz von Aufseß and Kunz von Streitberg, whose ancestral castles were in Franconian Switzerland, devastated the castle. Both knights and their brother Kunz Ochs, who was also involved, were soon sentenced by the Coburg council court to compensate for the damage caused and to pay 4,000 guilders to the Coburg rulers for breach of the peace.

Stone Fountain in Eicha

Highlight • Monument

The small but beautiful square on the street invites you to take a break and, together with the fountain, forms a beautiful ensemble.

Beautiful cycle path to Seßlach, especially in summer when the sunflowers 🌻 bloom. 😃

Seßlach City Wall

Highlight • Monument

The entire city wall ring of Seßlach, which dates back to the Middle Ages, is still preserved, even if many details have been changed over the centuries. Most impressive, however, is that in Seßlach there are no buildings in front of the wall in most places, as was once common in all cities. The medieval appearance of the city, which can be walked around along the wall, has been preserved unusually originally. The medieval fortification structure is one of the most beautiful city walls in Germany

- what does an alpaca hike have to do with cycling?
First little.
Except that you get to know new paths that can even be driven with an RR.
For example, from Kadersmühle to Schottenstein, lots of paved dirt roads
- Apart from that, the Itzgrund is much more exciting than the term would suggest. Drive up to a hill …
