May 30, 2024,Dörferrunde Mainbernheim – Frohstöckheim-Rödelsee - Iphofen - Neumühle

Die heutigen Wetterprognosen versprechen regional viel Regen. Die Wetterlage lässt aber keine Einschätzung zu, wo das genau sein wird. Etwas halbherzig starten wir dennoch zu einer Dörferrunde, die im Zweifelsfall trockene Zwischenstopps ermöglicht. Natürlich tröpfelt es, als wir unser Auto auf dem Parkplatz in Mainbernheim abstellen. Der Himmel ist dicht bewölkt mit teils dunklen Gewitterwolken. Doch es ist warm und …

April 27, 2024,Auf dem Sickergrundweg zum Rödelseer Frühling

What a wonderful, almost summery day it was today?! With this brilliant weather, I just couldn't stay in my dark apartment. So I grabbed my hiking boots and set off for Rödelsee Spring.

April 27, 2025,Iphofen - Rödelsee - Mainbernheim - Iphofen

A visually diverse hike around Iphofen – designated as an i1 Sickergrundweg (Sickergrund Trail). Worth seeing were the Jewish cemetery (from the outside, as it's closed) at Rödelsee, the local spring festival, and the moated castle at Fröhstockheim. And of course, Iphofen and Mainbernheim as a whole.

The "hiking trail" itself was less pleasant, as it was almost entirely paved.

December 12, 2021,i1 – Sickergrundweg

This circular hike marked "i1" leads over fields and fields to our neighboring towns of Rödelsee, Fröhstockheim and Mainbernheim, which are well worth seeing. Along the way there are many varied impressions of the Lower Franconian cultural landscape.

Start/finish: Rödelseer Tor Iphofen

Tip: The paths are mostly paved and therefore easy to walk on even in winter!
