September 9, 2022,Nach Würzburg Runde von Eibelstadt über Ochsenfurt

Today's tour of our Mainradweg rounds starts in Eibelstadt and leads to Würzburg. From Würzburg on the left of the Main to Ochsenfurt and back on the Main cycle path to Eibelstadt. The cycle paths on this stage are well developed, mostly paved, not for those who collect altitude meters. The weather was kind to us, a white-blue sky followed …

Today we cycled a nice e-bike tour from Würzburg to Frickenhausen and back. A little refreshment in the picturesque village with its many half-timbered houses. Then take the bike up the Kapellensteig to the Terrior F vantage point and enjoy the beautiful view over the Main valley. We went back on the cycle path which leads along the ochsenfurt side.

What can I say: Suddenly the tour was gone, simply deleted by mistake. But since I had so much fun doing it, I replanned it and saved it as done. I managed to reconstruct it except for a few meters. Well, the photos are not exactly in place now, but that doesn't hurt my memory.

After 4 days and almost 300 km you are happy to be sitting on the train home and then you are asked to get off the train 22 km from your destination because of flooding or road closures or whatever. Quickly to the next station and on to home...
