About this trip
A self-guided cycle route following the River Main from Bamberg to Frankfurt, riding at your own pace with your accommodation and luggage transfers arranged for you.
The route starts in Bamberg's UNESCO-listed old town, then rolls through the Steigerwald forest and Hassberg hills before picking up the Main through Franconia's wine country and the Taubertal region. Würzburg breaks up the ride with its architecture and old town before the route finishes in Frankfurt.
It's flat, well-signposted riding along the river valley, geared toward cyclists of any level rather than anyone chasing a physical challenge.
