Cycling

There is a big B on a black background, like Banz. The signs take you across the Banzgau, to towns that tempt you with Franconian delicacies.

Start at the train station in Bad Staffelstein and discover the towering Banz Monastery from different perspectives. The tour takes you through forests and fields, always to small Franconian villages whose restaurants invite you to have a beer and a snack.

At the end, lakes call in meadows and Bad Staffelstein that promise to cool off. If you still have energy after this bike ride, you can end the day with a walk through the spa gardens or a hike up the Staffelberg.

Village square and St. Andrew’s Church, Wiesen

Highlight • Settlement

The Catholic St. Andrew's Church was initially called Marienkirche in 1475 and in 1801 the Banz monk Johann Baptist Roppel speaks of the “Church ad B. Virg. Mariam ”. On the other hand, the Andreas patronage can be proven since 1665, which finally prevailed. The church of Wiesen accommodates the church patron twice: on the outer wall of the nave there is a figure from the first half of the 17th century. The high altar from 1690 is an eye-catcher. Above the altarpiece of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary, the saint appears again as if in an archway.

Up and Down in the Banzer Forest

Highlight • Forest

The roads and paths lead up and down through the forest at Banz Abbey. This ensures variety and shady trips in summer. The road also provides a bit of adventure, as it has some potholes (as of May 2020). So you have a mogul slope through and through ;-)

Sauerbrunnen at Forsthaus Banz

Highlight • Natural Monument

The ramp up to Kloster Banz

Highlight • Climb

Banz Monastery is always worth a detour. But you have to fight hard for it, because the road up has a crisp 20% slope. Then you realize that there used to be a castle that was difficult to conquer.

Obermain landmarks in view

Highlight • Viewpoint

In this section you have all three landmarks of the region in view: on the other side of the Main is Banz Abbey, with a view towards Bad Staffesltein you can see the Staffelberg and to the left of it the Basilica Vierzehnheiligen is hidden in the forest.

September 4, 2024,Schlemmerrunde Banz-Route

The round trip was recommended because you ride a lot in the Banz forest. With the weather like that, we thought it was great, just what the temperatures were like. Unfortunately, only the last part of the route went past the forester's house through the forest. Otherwise we were mercilessly exposed to the planet🌞🌞. But what the heck, it was …
