Nikolaibrücke with Original Stone Statues

The bridge is only recognizable as such at second glance. The bridge saints are beautifully restored and wonderful to look at.

2Franken cycle path (Stappenbach - Frensdorf)

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A part of the Oberen Steigerbahn ran along here until 1999. It led from Strullendorf to Ebrach and was expanded into a wonderful cycle path after it was dismantled between 2003 and 2006.

September 1, 2025,2025/194 (B) - Radweg nach Reundorf – Blick auf die Buger Spitze

Today, the worm seemed to be in the technology. We'd barely set off when the navigation system got lost in its own web: Komoot led us here, there, but not where we wanted to go. Then he appeared – a friendly Franconian, like a kind spirit by the roadside. He simply asked where we were going and, with a few …

April 5, 2026,❤️🤍 Franken: 🚴 Stadt - Land - Fluss über Pettstadt nach Burgebrach mit mächtigem Gegenwind 🌬️🌪️

Headwind shapes character... ...and wears you out 😳🤷🏼‍♀️! Man, it was stormy 🌪️ - despite T-shirt weather! It almost blew me off the bike path several times 🌬️! But a great tour through the little-known surroundings of Bamberg and the way back was like flying 🪽😇! For my new e-bike, I definitely need more 🏋️‍♂️ power in my arms and …

September 20, 2025,Bahntrassen-Bier-Genuss-Tour - Pettstadt–Burgebrach-Bamberg-Runde

During our annual visit to Bamberg, we chose a tour southwest toward Burgebrach. Initially, from Pettstadt, we ride gently uphill, mostly along a disused railway line, to Burgebrach. Once there, we make a near-complete turn and ride toward Bamberg on the FBR, the Prince-Bishop's Cycle Tour. After a few short climbs, the cycle path leads idyllic, mostly on the best …

August 23, 2025,Fahrrad-Tour Reundorf Brot holen

Phew – great tour. But today I had to return home from Frensdorf without a battery and seven loaves of bread in my panniers. It was easier with the pure biobike. But it worked – good to know. It's nice that emilmaus switched off the battery in solidarity. During training while getting bread.

August 25, 2024,Bamberg: Inselstadt Buger- und Erba-Spitze-Pettstadt-alte Bahnstrecke nach Burgebrach-Kreuzschuh-Mühlendorf--Gaustadt, bm

Today we went on an easy tour along an old railway line, the destination was Burgebrach. From there we went back and visited both island tips (Buger and Erba).
One of the highlights was the storks in their nests.

August 5, 2024,Bambergs Süden - Fahrradweg auf alter Bahnlinie - Runde ab Bug

The tour started under overcast skies, which were completely cloudless by midday. A pleasant tour with few serious climbs. In Unterneuses the route was a bit confusing because the "end of the cycle path" was indicated, but it continued 100 m away on the main road.
In Burgebrach it was almost impossible to get through or visit due to construction …

June 12, 2024,Rundtour von Bamberg über alte Bahntrassen und schönen Waldwegen 🌿🌤️

A beautiful tour from Bamberg to Pettstadt and over old railway lines to Burgebrach. Unfortunately, the historic town center was a construction site at the time. From there, we continued over the Nikolai Bridge, built before 1590, on the old elevated road to Kreuzschuh and through a wonderful forest area. The paths through the forest area were very beautiful, but …
