We wanted to go to Bad Neustadt an der Saale, but turned around because of a thunderstorm. Then came back dry.

Very nice Sunday tour along the Franconian Saale and the Rhön.
A perfect cycle path along the river, then in the forest and Rhön circuit mostly fine gravel but easy to ride on. Always great views. The highlight was the delicious cake with the apple spritzer in the castle garden (Aschach), which was just fizzing.
