The "Rhönexpress Bahn-Radweg", which opened in 2019, begins near Altengronau (Hessen) on the state border with Bavaria (Zeitlofs).

View of Rieneck Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Sinntal tour with Gemünden, Rieneck, Burgsinn and Altengronau is a real "must". I'll probably do that a few more times!

Forest path on the Saaletal Cycle Route in the Naturpark Bayerische Rhön

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is probably the only section on the Saaletal cycle path between Hammelburg and Gemünden, which has an almost “trail character” over a short distance. But it can still be done with a normal bike.

With pleasant temperatures from the Bavarian Rhön, through the Sinntal, over the Spessart to Gemünden am Main, further along the Franconian Saale via Hammelburg back to Bad Brückenau. Almost a 3 rivers tour.
Had 37% battery power left.

Today I just wanted to enjoy the beautiful autumn weather and cycle in two beautiful river valleys in a very relaxed way.
Ok, at first it was still fresh, but the sun didn't take long. Splendid.
I haven't been to the lower Sinntal for a long time.
That is a clear mistake: the Sinntal is so beautiful ...
