April 13, 2026, Scenic Road from Neuhof an der Zenn to Unterfeldbrecht

A beautiful side route to Ober- and Unterfeldbrecht. Also ideal for road bikes to reach Trautskirchen.

Easy to navigate. Unfortunately, parts are very open and prone to wind.

The Fürth Süd stop was opened on 26 October 1921. The city of Fürth submitted an application to build a stop between the Stein and Zirndorf-Altenberg stations before the line was completed in 1914, but the decision was delayed due to the First World War.[19] With the closure of the Bibertbahn on 26 September 1986, passenger service ended. On 17 August 1931, the DRG approved the construction of a stop in Leonrod, which first appeared a few weeks later in the 1931/32 winter timetable. The Unternbibert-Rügland terminus is neither in Unternbibert nor in Rügland, but in Frickendorf (now Andorf 29, 90599 Dietenhofen; coordinates: 49.418593, 10.613033). The former train station is about 1.8 km from Unternbibert and about 3 km from Rügland. The station restaurant is still marked and recognizable as such.
