From Kreuzberg to Bad Brückenau, you practically don't have to pedal for 26.9 km by bike. But even then, it's always downhill to Jossa on the way and further to Gemünden. The Rhönexpress Way leads through wonderful meadows and protected landscape. Worth seeing.

The Rhönexpress Bahn-Radweg was completed in 2019 and is a special experience. The approx. 26 km long route runs from the Hessian border near Zeitlofs to the market town of Wildflecken on the former route of a railway line. Source and further information: https://rhoenexpress.bayern/

Unfortunately, the crate of drinks will no longer be offered until further notice. Such a sign from the local association.

The Protestant Peace Church is located on the edge of the city center and invites visitors to pause and reflect. I found it open.

It's nice that these drink crates are being restocked. 👍🏻 I hope everyone is honest about these very fair prices. (My shandy was delicious. 🍻)
