Always straight ahead! The cycle path is perfectly developed to Bamberg and is easy to ride even with a lot of luggage. Almost a bit boring, but the view is nice 🚴☀️🌲

Bikepacking: From Munich to Norderney Terminal (Juist) - Day 5 - From Bamberg to Coburg

After a good breakfast, we set off for Bamberg Cathedral. You absolutely have to visit the cathedral if you are already in Bamberg. Highly recommended. Lots of special art objects and figures. Very large central nave. Very beautiful altar and an interesting organ.

Fog, fog and more fog. But I had the bike paths to myself. Despite the fog, I finally managed to take the little detour via Baunach. It was really worth it. 👍😚😁
