Biking
On the Road by Bike
Ride along the historic and well developed cycle tracks to explore our home region.
Our colleagues from Churfranken help you find the ideal tour with their interactive map with lots of ideas for round tours which can be managed in one day.
The bike tracks, especially along the Main River and its tributaries Erf and Mud (pronounced “mood”), are well developed, have hardly any elevation, and take you through fabulous landscapes and cozy villages.
Needless to say, that also roller blades or inline skates may be used along these bike tracks, skating smoothly on the tarmac; of course, be well equipped with protectors and a helmet. Enjoy your journey through fields and meadows, and the views of surrounding rolling hills.
For tours of our immediate surroundings you may consider the following suggestions (also suitable for children):
From Bürgstadt upstream the Erf River

Riding from Bürgstadt along the Erf River, you will pass Eichenbühl and Riedern before you reach Hardheim (25 km / 16 mi). This track is part of the Erf River Valley and Mills Cycling track.
Along this route public transport does not allow you to take on bicycles. Please pace yourself accordingly!
From Miltenberg upstream the Mud River

If you start from Miltenberg and want to cycle along the small River Mud (pronounced “mood”), you take the so-called Limes-Cycle path, which here is congruent with the 3-Bundesland-Cycle-Path. After about 10 km / 6.25 mi, you reach the adorable Amorbach, or after about 30 km / 18.75 mi, the pilgrimage site Walldürn. Please note, that about halfway along this trip, close to Schneeberg, you have to cope with some elevations. Along this path, there is a train track, so that you can easily return to your origin by train.
On weekends in summer there is also the NaTourBus, a scheduled bus with a big bike trailer running between Miltenberg and Amorbach (and onward to Michelstadt).
From Miltenberg upstream the Main River

From Miltenberg up the Main River, the mountain sides of Odenwald and Spessart flank the river closely. You ride along the forest edge and enjoy the impressive views of numerous abandoned quarries. This cycle path proceeds only along one side of the Main River, called the Main-Radweg. You cross only one bridge which is between Freudenberg and Kirschfurt. After about 30 km / 18.75 mi you reach Wertheim. Along this route there is a direct train track which allows you to return to your starting point.
Downstream the Main River by Bike

Riding downstream from Miltenberg, the Main River Valley opens and enlarges, and you ride through meadows, fields, and vineyards. Now you find a cycle path on both sides of the river: the official River Main Cycling path and some local cycling tracks. After about 40 km / 25 mi, you reach Aschaffenburg. Along this path, there is a train track, so it is no problem to return to your origin from several points along your way, without changing trains.
Main-Tauber-Franconian Bicycle-Eight

Explore 555 km / 345 mi of magnificent landscapes along the rivers Main and Tauber by bike. Since this bike path consists of one western and one eastern ring, you can cut it in two. Miltenberg is on the western ring. On the connection to the valley of the Tauber River you can find some challenging legs in the Odenwald.

3-Bundesland-Cycle-Path

The 3-Bundesland-Cycle-Path takes you on 225 km / 140 mi right across the Odenwald forest between the rivers Main and Neckar, cutting through Bavaria, Hesse and Baden-Württemberg. You travel through extensive forests, historic towns with half-timbered houses and along idyllic rivers.

German Limes Cycle Path

The German Limes Cycle Path takes you on ca. 800 km / 500 mi past important Roman places along the Upper Germanic-Rhaetian Limes between the rivers Rhine and Danube.
There are signs along the entire stretch from Bad Hönningen via Miltenberg to Regensburg. On the way right across the Westerwald forest, the valley of the river Lahn, the Taunus, the Wetterau, River Main valley and the Odenwald forest, the Swabian-Franconian forest and Swabian Jura, the Franconian Lake District and the Altmühl Valley Nature Park there are also some quite hilly legs to cover.

River Main Cycle Route

The River Main Cycle Route between Aschaffenburg and Bamberg is ca. 350 km / 217.48 mi long. It offers a varied and diverse course and is thus a unique experience for every biker.

Bike-Touren

Diese Touren sind ein Naturerlebnis der besonderen Art. Die erfahrenen und gut ausgerüsteten Guides fahren mit Ihnen auf Fahrradwegen entlang des Mains, vorbei an Maisfeldern, Bauernhöfen und Burgruinen. Die sehr gut gewarteten Leihräder werden nach Bedarf für Sie an einen vereinbarten Startpunkt in der näheren Region transportiert und/oder am jeweiligen Ziel Ihrer Bike-Tour wieder abgeholt. Frische Energie kann in einem der gepflegten Biergärten oder Cafés mit Blick auf den Main geschöpft werden.
Tube Vending Machine

No matter how careful you might be while riding your bike, a tube is always prone to break. Sometimes stitching or repairing won’t help, and you need a new tube for your bike.
You find a tube vending machine at the coach parking lot Pfarrkirche, between the stairs up to public restrooms and the fountain ”Staffelbrunserbrunnen”. Tubes in different sizes are available.
Bicycle-Tool-Kit-Station

Problems with your bicycle but no tools at hand?
Do not worry any longer about problems with your bicycle, as there is a Tool-Kit-Station next to the vending machine for different tubes. 24/7 you will find most useful items to get your bike going again; anything from screwdrivers, hex wrenches, tire levers, and a pump to help you get back to speed are available here.
Using the QR Code at the side of the station, you can even access online manuals.
The Tool-Kit-Station for bicycles is at the coach parking lot Pfarrkirche, between the stairs up to public restrooms and the fountain ”Staffelbrunserbrunnen”.
