Main, Spessart and Tauber Valley

Rothenburg ob der Tauber is regarded as the epitome of German Romanticism and abroad as a prototype of a medieval German town. Take a stroll through the old town guided by an „original“ night watchman.

You follow the Tauber river and cross a mountain range on an old railway line. Down to the Main valley to Ochsenfurt which is enclosed by a well-preserved medieval fortification.

Take a stroll through Wurzburg and visit the majestic Residence. Cycle through vineyards to Gemunden or Rieneck.

Follow the Main to Wertheim, located at the confluence of the Main and Tauber rivers. Enjoy the view over the landscape you have crossed from the remains of an old castle.

Upstream along the Tauber you cycle through more vineyards, passing Tauberbischofsheim and the romantic city of Bad Mergentheim before you get to Weikersheim.

Visit the historic old town of Bad Mergentheim and admire the charming half-timbered houses and the old town hall from the Renaissance period. In Weikersheim, you can visit the castle.

On the last stage of your round tour, you should take a break in Creglingen and visit the Lindlein Tower, a rare example of village life in the 18th century. Sewing enthusiasts should definitely pay a visit to the Fingerhut Museum displaying countless sewing supplies from all over the world through the ages.
