Start of the Rhönexpress Rail Trail (Sinntalbahn) at Zeitlofs

Highlight • Cycleway

The "Rhönexpress Bahn-Radweg", which opened in 2019, begins near Altengronau (Hessen) on the state border with Bavaria (Zeitlofs).
The beautiful bike path leads over the Staatsbad Brückenau with a moderate gradient along the Sinn to Wildflecken.

Rhönexpress Rail Trail

Highlight • Cycleway

The Rhönexpress Bahn-Radweg is brand new (completed June 2019) and a special experience. The 26.3 km long route runs from the Hessian border near Zeitlofs to the Wildflecken market on the former route of the Sinntalbahn and has a gradient of max. 3%.
The route becomes a bike path! This ensures an even and very moderate incline over the entire route. This also makes the Bahn-Radweg an ideal destination for family outings. And for touring cyclists, the section is part of the path “From the Main to the Rhön” and is therefore connected to an extensive network of long-distance trails. Along the route you will find suitable parking facilities in the neighboring villages for easy access when arriving by car.

View of Rieneck Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Sinntal tour with Gemünden, Rieneck, Burgsinn and Altengronau is a real "must". I'll probably do that a few more times!

Franconian Saale Riverside Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This piece has long been a nuisance to cyclists.
One was not welcome in the Hurzfurt, the section across the street was very ugly and dangerous on top of that.
For the expansion here, the Saale was even relocated.
It is likely that even this expensive measure was accepted rather than messing with the owners of the Hurzfurt.

Forest path on the Saaletal Cycle Route in the Naturpark Bayerische Rhön

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is probably the only section on the Saaletal cycle path between Hammelburg and Gemünden, which has an almost “trail character” over a short distance. But it can still be done with a normal bike.

With pleasant temperatures from the Bavarian Rhön, through the Sinntal, over the Spessart to Gemünden am Main, further along the Franconian Saale via Hammelburg back to Bad Brückenau. Almost a 3 rivers tour.
Had 37% battery power left.

Today I just wanted to enjoy the beautiful autumn weather and cycle in two beautiful river valleys in a very relaxed way.
Ok, at first it was still fresh, but the sun didn't take long. Splendid.
I haven't been to the lower Sinntal for a long time.
That is a clear mistake: the Sinntal is so beautiful ...
