Fahrrad Erlebnistour 5: Nach Würzburg und durchs Welzbachtal

This demanding day tour takes you in an extensive loop from Tauberbischofsheim to Würzburg right in the heart of the Franconian wine region and back again. If the entire route is too far for you, you can shorten a section of it via Lauda by train. Alternatively, you can of course take a two-day tour and spend the night in Würzburg.

From Tauberbischofsheim it goes steeply up to the Hammerberg. Once at the top, the route profile remains quite jagged and leads you across fields and through forests to Würzburg, down into the Main Valley. Back you can also expect two decent climbs, then the profile calms down a bit and the route leads in parts along the Romantic Road and through the Welzbach Valley back to your starting point in Tauberbischofsheim.

In Würzburg, the towering Marienberg Fortress is hard to miss. You can either face the mountain of the same name and explore the fortress up close or just enjoy the picturesque view of it, like so many others - for example from the old Main Bridge. Where you are already on the Main, it is of course worth taking a small tour along its banks - perhaps to the Old Crane to stop there and then back through the Würzburg old town, where the impressive Marienkapelle stands - those who are in Knows how to convince in terms of their name through absolute understatement.
