The Mistelbach cycle path is a central cycling connection in Bayreuth, linking the city center with the southwestern surroundings. It is considered one of the "established axes" in the city's cycle network. The path leads from the Bayreuth city center (near the Rotmain-Center) along the Mistelbach out of town towards the municipality of Mistelbach. It is part of the regional connection from Bayreuth to Hollfeld, which partly runs along a former railway line. The route is considered easy to moderate and is well suited for families due to only short uphill sections.

The old town hall formerly served as a sales hall for bread and meat products, a frequently used dance floor, a prison (known as the "Narrenhäuslein"), a fire extinguisher's house, and a post office. Later, it housed the savings bank. Today, the old town hall houses the residents' registration office, the passport office, the assembly hall, and the wedding hall.

The two outflows in the north and south flow in different directions and converge again via other river systems near Bamberg. This system turns Franconian Switzerland into an "island."

Very nice route, well signposted, apart from about 250 minutes of gravel, everything is on very good asphalt.
