Thulba Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

The Thulbaradweg leads past the Wakepark Thulba. It would be a sin not to stop here.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed this truly fantastic round trip in early May. We stopped briefly in Bad Kissingen for ice cream at the spa gardens. From there, we continued along good forest paths directly along the Saale River to Hammelburg. Recommendation: Stop for a break in Aura an der Saale at the Brand organic farm.
