Birdwatching Tower Mainaue bei Augsfeld

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the observation tower on the Sichelsee you have a great view of the Großer Wörth, Landwehrgraben and Sichelsee. In every season you can observe different species of birds here. Some of them, like the green shank or the shoveler, are just passing through. Others, like the gray heron and cormorant, stay here all the time. You can find information about the species at the tower.

Eltmann am Main

Highlight • Settlement

Eltmann is nestled between the Main and the mountain range of the Steigerwald. The history of the city goes back to the 7th century and the old town will inspire you with the lovingly maintained houses and squares. If you want to refresh yourself after your hike, you can also visit the heated outdoor pool.

The house with a face. When we drove past here as children, we had a competition to see who would discover the house first. What could be in there...?

A few years ago I saw the house up close. It has no rear wall at the back and is only used for storing devices.

Thanks to dendrochronological determinations of some timbers, it is certain that the castle was only built in the years 1420/30, during the Hussite era and parallel to the construction of the town wall of Zeiler, by the Bishopric of Bamberg.

Historic Old Town of Zeil am Main

Highlight • Historical Site

Not far from the World Heritage city of Bamberg, the picturesque half-timbered town of Zeil a.Main is in a charming location in the Main valley at the foot of the Haßberge mountains. (5,600 inhabitants, 312 m above sea level, first mentioned in 1018)

At the junction of wine and beer Franconia, there is a lot to discover and enjoy in terms of cuisine and culture. The historic old town enchants with its artistic half-timbered architecture on the unique market square and in the winding alleys and streets.

The remains of the city wall and the mighty city tower made of local sandstone bear witness to a rich and eventful history. Since 2011, this has been part of the "Zeiler Hexenturm" documentation center with exhibition rooms on the persecution of witches during the Thirty Years' War.

Today, since there is a Bayern discovery station nearby (link at the end of the text), we started stamping, station 20. Well actually it was recently at Fichtelsee, this was station 12. Today just before work a little round in your own environment. On the way back, a quick bite to eat at Farmer Robert's farm party in Zeil am …

The Pure Nature Tour is a leisurely, low-speed, relaxing bike ride through meadows and gravel fields. Ideal for hectic people to unwind. Fredl Fesl once said... Try it, and you'll feel it.

It starts at Ebelsbach-Eltmann train station. Arrivals are made hourly on the RB53.

Small varied round also suitable for gravel bikes.

From Eltmann (WoMo parking space) Gschmeidig along the Main and an extra round in the Mainauen just before the pilgrimage church Maria Limbach in the forest.

Optional detour up to the Jewish cemetery or Spitzberg.

Starting point at the rest bench at the blue gas station. Parking behind it down on the Main.

Flat tour down the Main on the cycle path that is well signposted for tourists. Enjoyable tour because there are refreshments everywhere along the way.

From the kiosk on the Main to the "Ranch" in Sand, the Grüner Baum inn in Knetzgau.
