Key facts of the tour
How close nature and culture are can be seen on this moderately difficult cycle tour. You cycle through the beautiful river landscape of the Main and discover seven of the twelve river face sculptures on the Auenweg Obermain. They were inspired by this water-rich landscape and created from sandstone as part of a sculpture symposium in Hallstadt in 2014. The tour ends with a visit to the Bad Staffelstein spa gardens with its ring of sculptures consisting of eight life-size female figures. As an e-bike tour, this excursion is suitable for all fitness levels.
