Malerwinkel House in Marktbreit

Highlight • Historical Site

The painter's angle house sits picturesquely on the creek wall of the Breitbach. The oldest parts of the current building were probably built in the early 17th century and it got its current appearance towards the end of the 18th century. For a long time it was a business building for the cloth trade and later for spices. Today it houses a museum.

Although it was almost all uphill for us, our salvation was to ride well on a tour lasting several days.

Highlight • Cycleway

The Gaubahn once connected the Taubertal with the Maintal. Today there is a beautiful bike path on the former railway line. Simply wonderful for cycling.

The Gaubahn cycle path is a cycle path in Tauberfranken that is around 37 kilometers long. Around 26 kilometers of this runs along the route of the former Gaubahn. It connects the Main cycle path near Ochsenfurt with the Taubertal cycle path near Bieberehren.


History

Between 1907 and 1992, until it was closed, the Gaubahn connected the Tauber and Main valleys.[1] On May 3, 1992, the last passenger train ran on the railway line. In 1994, the dismantling of the tracks began, before the expansion of the cycle path began in 1996. Between 2010 (Acholshausen - Baldersheim) and 2011 (Ochsenfurt - Acholshausen and Baldersheim - Bieberehren), the former track bed was asphalted.

Route profile and characteristics

The Gaubahn cycle path runs on the disused Gaubahn route from Ochsenfurt in the Main valley to Röttingen in the Tauber valley without any major gradients. The cycle path is asphalted along the entire route and is easy to ride on.
