May 10, 2026, Crossing the Sinn River

The approximately 70 km long Sinn is the largest tributary of the Fränkische Saale in the German states of Bavaria and Hesse. It originates in the Rhön and flows predominantly southwards. Its confluence with the Fränkische Saale is located shortly before its confluence with the Main. Source: Wikipedia

The Rhönexpress Rail Cycle Route was completed in 2019 and is a truly unique experience. The approximately 26 km long route runs from the Hessian border near Zeitlofs to the market town of Wildflecken along the former railway line. The route is now a cycle path! This ensures a consistent and very moderate gradient along the entire route. This also makes the rail cycle route an ideal destination for family outings. And for touring cyclists, the section is part of the "From the Main to the Rhön" trail and thus connected to an extensive long-distance network. Along the route, you will find suitable parking in the surrounding villages for easy access if you arrive by car. Source and further information: https://rhoenexpress.bayern

Former section of the HaFraBa motorway (Hamburg-Frankfurt-Basel, forerunner of today's A7 and A5 motorways) planned in the 1920s. This section was never completed and was later replaced by the current route a little further east.
