Forest path on the Saaletal Cycle Route in the Naturpark Bayerische Rhön

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is probably the only section on the Saaletal cycle path between Hammelburg and Gemünden, which has an almost “trail character” over a short distance. But it can still be done with a normal bike.

Gemünden Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

The place was first mentioned in 1243 in a contract between the Würzburg bishop Hermann I von Lobdeburg and Countess Adelheid von Rieneck. However, it is assumed that Gemünden had already been elevated to a town status by the Counts of Rieneck before 1243. Local tradition goes from a fishing settlement that was the origin of the later city. In 1317, Count Ludwig von Rieneck († 1333) received from Bishop Gottfried III. from Hohenlohe the town and Gemünden Castle.[7] Gemünden was the seat of the Gemünden office. From 1469, Gemünden finally belonged to the Bishopric of Würzburg. From 1500 the Würzburg Bishopric was part of the Franconian Imperial Circle. Prince-Bishop Rudolf II von Scherenberg built it as a bastion against the neighboring territories of Kurmainz and Fulda Monastery. In 1641, Jean Baptiste Budes de Guébriant's army was stationed near Gemünden, some of which had plundered and robbed right up to the gates of Würzburg.[8] As a result of the Imperial Deputation Main Conclusion in 1803, the Prince-Bishopric of Würzburg was annexed by Bavaria. Gemünden became a Bavarian district town.

The local Schönau monastery was founded in 1189 by Philipp von Thüngen. A Minorite monastery since 1699, the monks primarily look after the monastery and pilgrimage church.

As part of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818.

Franconian Saale Riverside Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This piece has long been a nuisance to cyclists.
One was not welcome in the Hurzfurt, the section across the street was very ugly and dangerous on top of that.
For the expansion here, the Saale was even relocated.
It is likely that even this expensive measure was accepted rather than messing with the owners of the Hurzfurt.
