Tips from the Community

Günter L.S.
May 31, 2026, Ellrodtweg Cycle Path Along the Red Main, Bayreuth

Mostly directly on the banks of the Rotmain on shady avenues lined with a few benches, hikers and cyclists share the asphalted route.

The Mistelbach cycle path is a central cycling connection in Bayreuth, linking the city center with the southwestern surroundings. It is considered one of the "established axes" in the city's cycle network. The path leads from the Bayreuth city center (near the Rotmain-Center) along the Mistelbach out of town towards the municipality of Mistelbach. It is part of the regional connection from Bayreuth to Hollfeld, which partly runs along a former railway line. The route is considered easy to moderate and is well suited for families due to only short uphill sections.

Very nice route, well signposted, apart from about 250 minutes of gravel, everything is on very good asphalt.
