View of Little Venice on the Regnitz

The former fishing settlement in the Bamberg island town is affectionately called "Little Venice". Tightly packed half-timbered buildings and tiny gardens dominate the image of this district. The half-timbered houses are mostly from the Middle Ages.

Stage 2 of the Regnitz Cycle Path started directly at our hotel in Forchheim. Past the city traffic, the path quickly led into woods and fields and through small towns.

In Buttenheim I would have liked to have taken a break in the St. Georgen Bräu beer cellar, which is said to have a very nice view. But at 10:30 …

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

August 21, 2023,Bamberg nach Hirschaid am Main-Donau-Kanal und fast an der Regnitz entlang

Driving the originally planned tour route along the Regnitz is almost impossible. Because the river is almost 98% inaccessible or you can hardly see the water anywhere, it is also in many places lower than the surrounding area. If you want to see water, you can drive on both sides of the local Main-Danube Canal on the usual canal bank …

I just wanted to go to Bamberg for a stroll. I lost my side stand just before Bamberg, so I stopped by the bike repair shop on the way back. We always get great service. Everything was repaired right away.
