Always straight ahead! The cycle path is perfectly developed to Bamberg and is easy to ride even with a lot of luggage. Almost a bit boring, but the view is nice 🚴☀️🌲

The spot where the bike path strays slightly from the road. Wonderfully quiet. Good asphalt and adequate width.

Nevertheless, it was beautiful. Nature practically exploded; everything appeared a fresh green or was in bloom. The scent of rapeseed and lilacs was palpable... This time, we …

Today, we're on a flat stretch... from Bamberg with a short detour to the leaning tower in the garden city. Past the Weyermann malthouse to Hallstadt. Continue via Kemmern, Baunach, following the Itz River cycle path, stopping for a break in Mürsbach... A brisk pace back to Bamberg...
