June 14, 2022,Tauber – Rothenburg ob der Tauber Runde von Rothenburg ob der Tauber

Really charming and magical bike tour through the Tauber Valley. However, the round was hillier than we expected. The gastronomy was a disappointment: to our surprise, everything was closed on a Tuesday, really everything, too bad! It probably wouldn't have been any different on Monday, the usual rest day. Wednesday Thursday Friday? We do not know it. Bicycle transport by …

A visit to Rothenburg for a short bike ride to the Holdermühle where the border between Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg runs right through the inn.

July 21, 2021,Rothenburg ob der Tauber „Liebliches Taubertal"

Very nice bike path through the lovely Taubertal. Very idyllic area right along the Tauber. Unfortunately it was over in Creglingen, because the bike path was completely closed (and no diversion was shown). Therefore, another 8km had to be avoided. Too bad.

July 27, 2021,Creglingen-Rothenburg ob der Tauber VR

After admiring the incredibly filigree, expressive Riemenschneider altar in Creglingen. I cycled with friends to Rothenburg ob d Tauber. My husband drove the camper to Rothenburg.
Tour through the lovely Taubertal is as the name suggests.

This makes the impression all the more contrary when you come through the castle gate in …

August 13, 2021,Tag 8b Romantische Straße : durch das Taubertal bis Creglingen

Shortly after Rothenburg we visited the lovely Peter and Paul Church in Detwang, which houses a wonderful Riemenschneider altar! Then we went up and down the hills to Creglingen (sweaty due to the humidity and the altitude), from there we cycled to another highlight, the Herrgottskirche in Creglingen: here, too, a Riemenschneider altar! A great wealth of art!

A few more kilometers because I haven't recorded everything. The starting point of the tour is a beautiful RV parking space directly on the Tauber near Tauberzell.
