You might think that a bike tour along a canal isn't interesting. But if you take a little time, the Main-Danube Canal between Bamberg and Strullendorf shows its beautiful, varied sides – and with a bit of wildlife 😉.

We started in Hirschaid in perfect summer weather ☀️. We headed to Bamberg 🏰 along beautiful paths, including a bit of sightseeing and a good mood 😄.
