Siegfried Kühn
July 5, 2026, Limes Lauf Großkrotzenburg

Unfortunately, the "Limes-Lauf" race will no longer be held until further notice. As with other running events, it has become very difficult to organize enough helpers.

Without the Krotzenburg dam, both pedestrians and cyclists would have to take a detour to get directly to the other bank of the Main.

Yes...a detour is worth it. Very nice property with an adjacent lake with overnight accommodation.
