Highlight • Cycleway

The Thulbaradweg leads past the Wakepark Thulba. It would be a sin not to stop here.

Railway viaducts near Bad Kissingen

Highlight • Bridge

The building can not be photographed so well, because it is quite ingrown. At any rate, it can bear witness to times when German engineering was still a term with absolute justification.

Euerdorf Railway Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

It is impressive how this technical monument stretches across the town and is much more beautiful to look at than today's bridge structures.

Saale Bridge, Westheim

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge itself is not a piece of jewelry. The view of the Saale is always nice (and at every bridge). :-)

We thoroughly enjoyed this truly fantastic round trip in early May. We stopped briefly in Bad Kissingen for ice cream at the spa gardens. From there, we continued along good forest paths directly along the Saale River to Hammelburg. Recommendation: Stop for a break in Aura an der Saale at the Brand organic farm.
