May 19, 2023,Fahrradtour Pilatushof Teatime

Excursion to the Pilatushof near Hausen. Along the canal you arrive comfortably without much effort and inclines, enjoy the delicious food (e.g. tarte flambée with asparagus) and can still fill your bike bag in the unpackaged shop around the corner.

April 14, 2022,Bamberg Forchheim und zurück Tag 3

Today we rode the "normal" bikes from Bamberg to Forchheim and back. The way there was totally easy. Always along the Main Danube Canal. The water was smooth and the bikes ran like clockwork. After a nice lunch in Forchheim we went back the same way. Now the water looked very rippled and the wind was blowing towards us. Well, …

It started off in light rain. Very nice tour, there was an unmarked detour but it wasn't a problem.

This morning start in Forchheim. After we had a few disappointing experiences with the valley path yesterday, we decided on the canal path today. Flat, straight, fast to ride. Now we had enough time for Bamberg 😜😁

October 24, 2021,Kanalroute Bamberg Neuses

Today, with the best autumn weather, we always went from Bamberg alongside the canal via Strullendorf to Hirschaid. There a stop at the autumn market. Then on to Neuses. On the other side of the canal it went back to Bamberg.

May 18, 2023,Citytour mit meiner Mannschaft 🤗 von Forchheim nach Bamberg und wieder zurück

With the best Father's Day weather, we're straight on the bike and off to Bamberg. Great city, great food and a lot of people. Nevertheless, we managed well. There was a mega experience at the end, a beaver in the wild and so close, sensational 😁 It was a wonderful scooter route today 😊, just awesome

May 24, 2025,Von Forchheim nach Bischberg auf der Regnitz-Radweg Talroute

Today's tour took us along the Main-Danube Canal. The route is well-developed, partly paved, partly compacted gravel. A little nostalgic came over us as we were reminded of our ride on the Danube Cycle Path.
Bamberg was a great experience. The old town has a lot of Italian charm for me, including the many people in the narrow streets. Well, …
