June 4, 2023,Rhönexpress Bahnradweg 2023: Altengronau <-> Wildflecken
Today the tour on the wonderful Rhönexpress Bahnradweg. It always increases, but very moderately, until wild spots. But the descent makes up for everything. Unfortunately, stopping off in Wildflecken is not the best. On the way back we always stop at the Pappert in Bad Brueckenau. There are two in town.

The tour starts in Zeitlofs and leads on the former railway line to Wildflecken. The route climbs slightly to Wildflecken. There is a lot to see along the way, e.g. in the state baths and in Bad Brückenau.

Today I cycled the second part from Zeitlofs to Wildflecken, with the train stations Rupboden, Wernarz, Staatsbad, Bad Brückenau and Wildflecken. On the way back we drove through the town of Bad Brückenau and the health resort of Staatsbad.

The Rhönexpress Rail Cycle Route is a fantastic tour for everyone. The scenery is beautiful and varied. There's also a nice pub along the way. What more could you want? 🙂👍

Today we did a very nice tour in the Bavarian Rhön. We went from Altengronau to Wildflecken and back on the wonderfully developed Rhönexpress railway cycle path.
The car can be parked at the swimming pool in Altengronau. In Bad Brückenau there is an opportunity to stop for refreshments. We did this at Pappert.
