View of Ebensfeld and Staffelberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Main winds its way idyllically through the valley. Especially around Unter- and Oberbrunn you will find a wonderful landscape with numerous altars and lakes. A look over the lush green meadows shows Markt Ebensfeld.

Sun, light to moderate NE wind, 28 degrees
Many former and one current quarry lake. Flat. Urban sprawl. We see the branch of the new high-speed railway line from Ebensfeld to Erfurt and the huge privacy walls on the 4-track expansion line to Bamberg. Still an orgy of concrete with new expressways. Early in Bamberg to avoid the afternoon heat. …

Pretty much at the end there is a "single trail" - here you go down stairs, but there is also a fairway. However, also a nice view 😁

June 25, 2024,Auf nach Bamberg...

Nice tour, if it hadn't been for the impossible or even non-existent diversion signs at some bus stops...😬 in other words...just following the cycle path signs wasn't always possible...hence the funny twists and turns in the tour at some points...😉🤷🏼‍♀️

July 25, 2021,Main-Radweg ♒ #3: Von Bad Staffelstein nach Bamberg 🌞✌🏻

Storms were reported all over Bavaria, so it was fitting that we had a short stage today - only to Bamberg 👍🏻 This section of the Main Cycle Path was really great - there was always something for the eye and the weather was good until lunch, in a "very inconspicuous inn", perfect - almost too hot 🥵 (the inn …

March 11, 2022,zum Bratwurst essen nach Ebensfeld und zurück

A purposeful tour today. In Ebensfeld there are fresh bratwurst grilled by the butcher himself on Friday and Saturday.
On the way there we saw the damaged anthills.
On the way back a large flock of swans in a field.
A nice tour.

September 9, 2025,Main-Radweg: Von Staffelstein nach Bamberg

Today, I started late and then went through the spa gardens. Then, at a leisurely pace, I took a ride along the Main River. I haven't always been by the water, but I saw it a few times today.

Rattelsdorf looked familiar, and from there, I headed down the Itzgrund River to Bamberg. The rain forecast for 4 p.m. started …

I actually wanted to take the train first and then cycle. But the elevator to the platform in Bamberg was broken. So I ended up doing the route the other way around. No big deal, it was flat anyway.
