The weather was ideal and the route is very varied: abandoned historic vineyards, along the Hammelburg military training area, past Saaleck Castle (hotel and restaurants are closed for the time being), down to the Bavarian Music Academy in the Altstadt monastery, always accompanied by great views of the …
