Bamberg – Aschaffenburg
Culture and movement…what more could you want? You can feel lucky, because the cycle tour from Bamberg to Aschaffenburg is all about a varied landscape and impressive cultural hotspots. The Main Cycle Path begins in beautiful Bamberg. After a leisurely tour of the city, you cycle along the Main on the bike. Between grand castles and palaces, magnificent churches and dark green forests you can explore the diverse region between Bavaria and Hesse. Your constant companion and guide: the Main!
There is almost no more culture and history than on the Main Cycle Path. One thing is clear: the landscape along the Main is one of the most culturally rich regions in Bavaria and Hesse. Through the Franconian wine country, you cycle to the charming towns on the Main. The Imperial city of Bamberg, the city of Würzburg, Miltenberg and Ochsenfurt, to name a few, are among the most beautiful stops on your cycle tour.
Of course, one thing can’t be forgotten: culinary delights! Because Franconia has a lot to offer when it comes to cuisine. Cosy beer gardens, Franconian wine bars and regional delicacies will make your heart beat faster. Our recommendation: just dive in and enjoy!
Attention cyclists! You can be happy because the route runs almost entirely over flat cycle paths along the riverbank. You will cover around 335 kilometres over eight days. The daily stages are between 40 and 65 kilometres. In short: this cycle tour is ideal for beginners. Interested? Hop on the saddle and off you go!
