Marketplace Weikersheim

Highlight • Settlement

A wonderful, quiet spot, with its small wine bars, cafés, restaurants, and ice cream parlor, it's a great place to linger. The market square is especially recommended, as it's home to most of the outdoor dining options and offers a direct view of the castle.

Tauber bridge in Markelsheim

Highlight • Bridge

If you drive or walk over the bridge and turn right, you'll find a Kneipp pool on the Tauber River, surrounded by a barefoot path. There are also a few wooden loungers with a view of the Tauber and towards Markelsheim. A very idyllic spot for a break.

Taubertal Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Great route to make good progress in beautiful scenery. Only at the end of 2020 will the construction sites / diversions disturb at Lauda.

Narrow old bridge over the Tauber, very well suited for a photo motif.

Very nice place to cross the Tauber. But always make sure that you are not overlooked by oncoming traffic (cars). The bridge is quite narrow.

Bronnbach Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

The former Cistercian monastery was founded in the mid-12th century. Worth seeing are the interior of the church as well as the cloister from the 13th century and the vinotheque.

May 13, 2025,Die Romantische Straße, Tag 2 nach Weikersheim
Today we're cycling the 5 ⭐️ "Lovely Tauber Valley" cycle path, and it's truly a stark contrast to yesterday's stage from Würzburg. It takes us across meadows and through forests, with the Tauber River mostly in view, and a church steeple is guaranteed to be visible somewhere on the horizon. The small villages and cozy towns with their red-blossoming chestnut …

Day 2 of our Romantic Road tour from Wertheim to Weikersheim. Very nice bike paths. The weather was cloudy and a bit cold, but no rain. Our hotel is right on Weikersheim's market square.

After his bike was stolen from our garage one night, he obviously had to get a new one, but that wasn't so easy to implement. The desire for a gravel bike was great, but the supply was very small. We finally found what we were looking for somewhere on the www. On the exit he drove away from me the …

Today Komoot crashed in Bad Mergentheim. So today there is "only" the planned track uploaded as a completed tour. We basically rode like that. Only in Tauberbischofsheim, Lauda and Bad Mergentheim did we deviate a little from the track to see more.

Beautiful route, which includes some sections where you are quite exposed to the sun when it is over 30 degrees. But there are also shady and cool sections that run directly along the Tauber and provide relaxation.

Complete closure of the original route between Distelhausen and Lauda. In Edelfingen there is a new section that meets all the requirements of …

Today the last day.
Again the train puts us under stress. One section cannot be done by bike. So now we are heading towards Stuttgart.
