Key facts of the tour
This tour through an open, gently undulating landscape takes you along the edge of two nature parks: the Frankenhöhe and the Steigerwald. Around villages such as Marktbergel, Burgbernheim, Mörlbach and Bergtshofen, you will repeatedly pass passionately tended orchards. At the open-air museum in Bad Windsheim, you can immerse yourself in 700 years of Franconian history with all your senses at the start of the tour. At the end of the tour, you can relax in the spa gardens of the only spa in Middle Franconia.
A cycle tour for families, nature lovers, culture enthusiasts and connoisseurs

Arrive relaxed and hire bikes from local hire companies. The capacity for taking bikes on the trains is limited and, depending on capacity utilisation, taking your own bike on board cannot be guaranteed.

Direction

From Bad Windsheim train station, head straight south and into the historic town centre, which was first mentioned in a document 1275 years ago. If you want to hire a bike, the first few minutes are on foot. From the station square, head straight down Johanniterstrasse and Pastoriusstrasse to the tourist information centre on the market square.

A little tip: If you would prefer to ride an e-bike today, you can choose from 7-speed bikes with four individually adjustable support levels at the spa and congress centre. To do this, you need to head north from the railway station in the direction of the Franken-Therme, which makes Bad Windsheim the only spa in Middle Franconia. The tourist information centre there rents out five of these e-bikes. You can book the bikes directly via the online shop.
