Old Railway Bridge near Schney

Highlight • Bridge

The old railway bridge at Schney, which leads over the Main, is entered in the list of architectural monuments in Lichtenfels. It was built by Johann Georg Beuschel in 1857/59, blown up in 1945 and is still preserved today.

View of the Main River from the Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The covered pedestrian path can only be used by cyclists if there are no pedestrians, but then it's a funny river crossing and always reminds me of the Death Star flight through the Millennium Falcon.

This option is located directly at the hydroelectric power plant in Oberwallenstadt, allowing you to cross the Main River at normal water levels. You can also view the power plant, at least from the outside.

Basilica of the Fourteen Holy Helpers (Basilika Vierzehnheiligen)

Highlight • Religious Site

The mountain up to the pilgrimage basilica is tough. Especially in the upper area it gets really steep and the thighs have to work properly. Step in, you can do it!

It passes through quiet villages and exciting forests dotted with sandstone.
Well-maintained forest roads lead through mossy passages through the forest until you finally reach the Jurahöhe.
There are numerous small Franconian villages along the route with places to stop for refreshments. …

April 12, 2025,Mountainbike-Tour Jura-Ründla und Krappenbergtrails

The Jura-Ründla from Obermain.Jura was planned. The Krappenberg trails were supposed to be a fun highlight. While the circuit is scenic, it often leads on roads for long stretches. This could be improved, especially since there is no consistent signage.

I found the Krappenberg trails themselves disappointing.
