Tips from the Community

MS 🚴‍♂️
September 3, 2025, Gaubahn Memorial Stone

The Gaubahn Cycle Path is an approximately 37-kilometer-long cycle path in Tauber-Franconia. About 26 kilometers of this runs along the route of the former Gaubahn. It connects the Main Cycle Path near Ochsenfurt with the Tauber Valley Cycle Path near Bieberehren. Between 1907 and 1992, until its closure, the Gaubahn connected the Tauber and Main valleys. The last passenger train ran on the line on May 3, 1992. Dismantling of the tracks began in 1994, before the expansion of the cycle path began in 1996. Between 2010 (Acholshausen – Baldersheim) and 2011 (Ochsenfurt – Acholshausen and Baldersheim – Bieberehren), the former track bed was paved. Source: Wikipedia

In spring you can enjoy the wild garlic here. The whole area smells of it. It is a beautiful, natural path. However, there are also tree trunks lying across it every now and then. In summer it can be fun to cool your feet in the water. By late summer at the latest, the path is unfortunately so overgrown (especially with nettles) that it is almost impossible to get through (at least not in short clothing). In the middle of the path there is also a bench to sit on. It is always fun to walk here, whether alone, as a dog owner, on a family outing or as part of a hike.

Cross-haulers are typical for the Franconian region, from Baden Franconia via Würzburg to Bamberg. The cross as a symbol of our sins is carried out of town by Jesus. The images used to be called Materlbildnis. Nowadays, cross-haulers have been moved during road construction and are pointing inwards due to ignorance.
