Main Valley Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Between Bayreuth and Kulmbach you drive a lot on small country roads. There is almost nowhere much traffic here, so it is easy to drive.

September 3, 2022,Runde um die Plassenburg – zum Mainzusammenfluss - von Bayreuth

Thanks to WHK and CH for letting me ride this beautiful tour.
Wolfgang has planned a great tour again, great bike paths - low-traffic roads and there was a lot to see. The crowning glory with a cool beer at the Maisel-Bräu, that's it again ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐-and all that with the best cycling weather 👍

Because it was Easter Monday, I have a particularly large number of steeples ⛪ in the photos 😊.

October 9, 2024,🍻Kulmbach🏰 Runde von 🚂Bayreuth bei🌡19°C🌥

With the mild weather forecast, it had to be new territory again. The tour from the Komoot fund was only slightly modified and off we went. After Kulmbach, I wasn't unhappy about the 🌬southeast, but on the way back I had to pedal against it. Overall, a largely unspectacular route without extreme inclines. Towards Kulmbach, partly accompanied by the White …

February 21, 2023,Trebgaster Badesee 🚴

After yesterday's mercy tour, today was flat and shaking legs announced. The weather was cloudy but not cold.

From Kulmbach we drove through the Rotmaintal to Bayreuth, through the Trebgasttal then comfortably to the Trebgaster bathing lake. Unfortunately we forgot our bathing suits. 🤷🏼 There was enough space for swimming. We went back to Kulmbach through the valley of the …

You could ask yourself how nice the tour was... hmm, checking the area, letting your feet dance, getting out quickly, around the block, around the Plassenburg or whatever😅 you could also stick to the truth, got up too late and still fancy a tour, there is only one solution 4.0 in the tires of the city bike and off we …

July 5, 2023,Einkaufsfahrt nach Bindlach

On the spur of the moment we did our errands inbindlach with the ebike. Via Trebgast and Ramsenthal we headed towards Bayreuth and back via Theta, the Auenweg to Altdrossenfeld and the Rotmaintal to Kulmbach.

The goal of the tour was the Arena shop in Bindlach. Bought two swimming trunks for a total of 20 euros. The path led us across the valley of the Weißen Main past the Ebersbach Kneipp facility. About Tregbast we drove mostly on the bike path and a detour in Harsdorf to the old town center with church was really …

May 26, 2024,Durchs Rotmaintal nach Bayreuth und über Trebgast zurück

We rode through the Rotmain valley mostly on asphalt to Neudrossenfeld. Then we followed the beautiful Auenweg towards Bayreuth. We got lost briefly, but it wasn't too bad. We rolled through Wendelhöfen towards the Festspielhaus and then to the Hohe Warte. We took the Nordweg through the forest down to Bindlach, where we treated ourselves to an ice cream. We …
