Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Beautifully landscaped bike path right along the Main. In general, rather quiet section (compared to the promenades between Kitzingen and Würzburg). Several benches with a beautiful view and a Kneippanlage Dettelbach invite you to a stopover.

Great viewing platform that allows extensive bird watching. You can view the documented bird sightings of the past few days using a QR code. It's best to drive via Heidenfeld. The Main is in the way from Garstadt! There are racks at the barrier for parking bicycles.

Just the right place to switch off and observe nature. All-round view and an elevated seat make the tower a particularly beautiful place in the bird sanctuary.
