The former fishing settlement in the Bamberg island town is affectionately called "Little Venice". Tightly packed half-timbered buildings and tiny gardens dominate the image of this district. The half-timbered houses are mostly from the Middle Ages.

Bamberg

Highlight • Historical Site

Bamberg is well worth it! Although very touristy this city - but with many highlights. The city is located in the north of Bavaria and at the mouth of the rivers Regnitz and Main and extends over seven hills. Many picturesque buildings characterize the old town, where everyone finds a cozy place to rest. Attractions such as the Old Town Hall, the cathedral, the Hofbräu, and many others.

Old Town Hall and Upper Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

According to legend, the bishop of Bamberg did not want to give the citizens a place to build a town hall. That is why the Bamberg piles rammed into the Regnitz and created an artificial island on which they built the town hall.

Particularly noticeable are the frescoes, which also come into their own at night thanks to the lighting.

Am Kranen and Little Venice, Bamberg

Highlight • Historical Site

Klein-Venedig (Little Venice) is a must-see on any tour of Bamberg. Formerly built on wooden planks, the lower floors are now solidly bricked. Since the water level of the Regnitz no longer changes here due to the river splitting, the residents no longer get wet feet.

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.

... okay, rain gear on and through ... 😕
... actually I wanted to explore Schweinfurt a little more - but with this weather it's definitely not fun ... 😢
... no more rain from Hassfurt - sunshine from Sand am Main ... ☀️
... Bamberg has a beautiful old town - you can linger here for hours and enjoy …

Our night's accommodation in Bamberg was south-east of the city in a beautiful meadow landscape on the Regnitz, from where we started the 4th stage in the early Sunday calm. The cycle path out of Bamberg along the banks of the Regnitz is 10 times more attractive than entering the city the day before.

On the 4th day of our bike tour, if the weather is nice 🌞, we will cycle from Bamberg along the Main Cycle Path to Schweinfurt. The cycle path often runs along the railway line or a road. We particularly liked the small town of Zeil am Main. Now we're going to explore Schweinfurt first.

From Bamberg to Schweinfurt it goes past many lakes and with few hills along the Main, which is now a lot wider. The Regnitz in Bamberg contributed to the fact that the Main is now navigable. The district town of Haßfurt is definitely worth seeing, as is Zeil am Main. At Sand am Main we have already arrived in Lower …

Today we went from Bamberg to Schweinfurt. The route ran along the Main every now and then and was more attractive than yesterday. However, the places along the route were not inviting to linger. Zeil and Haßfurt are very much dominated by car traffic. The beautiful townscapes are dominated by cars, motorcycles and coaches. Very loud and full of exhaust …
