The Gaubahn once connected the Taubertal with the Maintal. Today there is a beautiful bike path on the former railway line. Simply wonderful for cycling.

June 10, 2025,Von Dutum nach Fusch an der Großglocknerstraße... - Tag 5 - Wü - Rtbg

The awakening Würzburg quickly dismisses me. I cycle along the Main River to Ochsenfurth. Then, a long ride on a railway cycle path with gentle climbs and descents. The equally secluded route continues along the Tauber River until the final climb to Rothenburg. Perfect weather with veiled clouds and a mostly crosswind. In the afternoon, I rest my legs and …

August 18, 2023,Rothenburg - Würzburg (4) --Reise abgebrochen

For health reasons, I stopped my trip in Würzburg and went home.
Before that it went along the beautiful Tauber Valley and down to Ochsenfurt on a former railway line. Along the Main I felt the heat, although it wasn't that hot! I haven't felt very fit since the day before yesterday.
Without much hesitation, I headed for a car …

After exploring Rotenburg ob der Tauber the night before, we leave the city in very warm early temperatures. Today's last stage should really spoil us at the end. The hm were very tranquil today and we often went down the valley. At about 24km at the beginning, we were able to enjoy the beautiful Tauber Valley to Bieberehren. The bike …

First day of our "backpacking" tour from Würzburg to Metzingen. First along the Maintalradweg, then on the old Gaubahnradweg from Ochsenfurth into the Taubertal to Bieberehren. Then on the Tauber Valley Cycle Path to Rothenburg o. Tauber. We pitched our tent in the valley below Rothenburg in Dettwang.

A week's vacation! - Here we go!
In order to build some time buffer in the route, I clicked on the Gaubahnradweg and at Bieberehren on the Romantic Road. I know the Würzburg, Wertheim part too well to mess around here again.
I've been to the ruins of Reichelsburg near Aub many times. This time the tower was open. …

July 21, 2024,From Rothenburg ob der Tauber to Wurzburg

This was a harder ride than expected. My wife's ebike motor went out at about 10km. I moved my saddle over to her bike and rode it to Wurzburg, luckily the trail was a perfect gradient, unluckily it was close to 30C. Hopefully, I can find a Specialized bike shop to get it fixed Tuesday without any parts needed to …

The time has finally come. Our Germany tour continues. 🥳
Yesterday we traveled to Würzburg by train. My cell phone slipped into the folding seat on the train, but unfortunately, it could only be removed as a total loss.🥴😖
And so we had to get a new one today. So we couldn't leave Würzburg until around 2 p.m. At least …
