In this area, the Saale has been designed to be as close to nature as possible.

The old pumping station (1848), the pump house (red half-timbered house) from 1883 and the pump keeper's house are well preserved and can be viewed at the Lower Saline.

At the end of the day and the weekend, a relaxed bike ride. Nothing great. Well-known highlights along the way. Pleasant temperatures and only a few other cyclists on the route.

When you have to "struggle" with three layers 😴, May 1st can be postponed to May 2nd 😄. Nice tour 🚴🏻‍♀️🚴‍♂️ in splendid weather ☀️ to Bad Bocklet 😍. And what luck 🍀, today the "Rhön Adler" had suckling pig from the grill. Buffet, meaning you can go as often as you have space in your stomach (for €18) 😆. …

It was an old tour with a new bike.

Unfortunately I forgot to take photos, but the highlight pictures give a good impression of the tour.

At the spa house in Bad Bocklet you can admire the pure explosion of color of the spring flowers. The spa gardeners planted them beautifully.

Cycling along the Franconian Saale is very relaxed.

A little round in the evening to get the bike moving again.🚴‍♂️ Then the beer after work tastes twice as good.🍺

On this stage it's a very leisurely 5 km walk through the spa gardens of Bad Kissingen. And the rest of the route is also extremely comfortable, not far along the Saale on immaculate cycle paths through wonderful meadow meadows.
It was great fun in the Rhön as a guest in Bavaria!

Today we started to Bad Kissingen under a cloudy sky. During the day it got really sunny, perfect cycling weather. Bad Kissingen certainly has a few nice spots, but the kl. I like Bad Bocklet better😉

Pleasant after-work ride. The sun came out and there was hardly any wind.
