September 3, 2025,Radtour Saarbrücken-Nürnberg - Tag 11 - von Bamberg nach Nürnberg HBF

After a delicious breakfast at the Hotel Tandem in Bamberg, we set off on the final leg of our Saarbrücken to Nuremberg bike tour today.
With perfect sunny cycling weather, it was a wonderful conclusion. The beautiful town of Forchheim is definitely worth a visit. I highly recommend this section as well 👍👌🚴🏼‍♀️🚴‍♂️.

The next train was in two hours, and it had a much larger bike compartment. So we took the train to Stuttgart to get there a bit earlier and fill the bike compartment. The QuerDurchsLand ticket …

What do you do when you wake up earlier than you have to? You get on the train. With your bike, of course. And then you start a bike tour from Nuremberg to Bamberg. Simply beautiful and mostly car-free 😀😉

August 12, 2025,2025-08-12 Fränkische Biertour - Tag 1 - von Nürnberg nach Bamberg

On the first day, after a good breakfast, we set off in perfect cycling weather, heading for Bamberg.
With 170 meters of elevation gain, the tour was ideal for warming up. Today's route led exclusively through nature, along the canal and through parkland, all the way to Bamberg.
