The newly asphalted and partly prepared with fine gravel cycle path 🚵🏽♀️ between Dombühl via Diebach to Rothenburg ob der Tauber 🏰 follows the old railway connection 🚂 from Dombühl to Rothenburg. The tracks 🛤️ are no longer there, but the old, restored station building of Bockenfeld still exists. In other places, it is still recognizable that you are traveling on the former railway lines.

St. Ulrich and St. Sebastian. The choir tower of the hall church was built in 1488/89. The nave was rebuilt in 1790/91. The design in the Margrave style was by Johann David Steingruber. He also designed the sacristy.

The "Schlösschen" is definitely a highlight along the Tauber River. It's worth stopping for a moment to admire it.
