June 24, 2026,20260624 Tauber-Altmühl-Radweg - Tag 5 - von Tauberrettersheim nach Wertheim

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.

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 …

Today we're cycling along the Tauber River through the lovely Tauber Valley, bathed in glorious spring sunshine. We started in Bad Mergentheim. After a brief town tour, we cycled through the beautiful park before returning to Wertheim on wonderful bike paths via Lauda and Tauberbischofsheim. A stunningly beautiful tour that I can recommend to everyone. 👍🌞😎🤩

Behind Hochhausen the cycle path is currently closed due to construction work. Since it was Sunday and no one was working, we were lucky and were able to use it anyway.
