Röttingen Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

Great city with lots of charm. There are sundials on every corner, a Kneipp facility by the cemetery and delicious food right on the market square. 😊👍

Tauber Bridge, Tauberrettersheim

Highlight • Bridge

A wooden bridge was built over the Tauber in 1716, but was destroyed by flooding. In 1733 a massive natural stone bridge with six arches was built according to the design by Balthasar Neumann.

Gänsturm (Lower Gate), Weikersheim

Highlight • Monument

Of the old city gates, only the lower gate in the north of Weikersheim, the so-called Gänsturm, has survived.

A wonderful, quiet spot, with its small wine bars, cafés, restaurants, and ice cream parlor, it's a great place to linger. The market square is especially recommended, as it's home to most of the outdoor dining options and offers a direct view of the castle.

The Gaubahn cycle path is a cycle path in Tauberfranken that is around 37 kilometers long. Around 26 kilometers of this runs along the route of the former Gaubahn. It connects the Main cycle path near Ochsenfurt with the Taubertal cycle path near Bieberehren.

History

Between 1907 and 1992, until it was closed, the Gaubahn connected the Tauber and Main valleys.[1] On May 3, 1992, the last passenger train ran on the railway line. In 1994, the dismantling of the tracks began, before the expansion of the cycle path began in 1996. Between 2010 (Acholshausen - Baldersheim) and 2011 (Ochsenfurt - Acholshausen and Baldersheim - Bieberehren), the former track bed was asphalted.

Route profile and characteristics

The Gaubahn cycle path runs on the disused Gaubahn route from Ochsenfurt in the Main valley to Röttingen in the Tauber valley without any major gradients. The cycle path is asphalted along the entire route and is easy to ride on.

The Gaubahn once connected the Taubertal with the Maintal. Today there is a beautiful bike path on the former railway line. Simply wonderful for cycling.

Although it was almost all uphill for us, our salvation was to ride well on a tour lasting several days.
