Key facts of the tour
A river trip is a special treat - by bike as well as by boat. This tour offers you both. From Schweinfurt, you set off southwards to explore the northern loop of the Main. On the way and at the southernmost point of the tour in Volkach, you will discover two fine little museums. The pretty vineyards and romantic winegrowing villages can be viewed from the water on a trip on the MS Undine, and on the way back you cross over to the west bank at Wipfelder Mainaue near St. Ludwig. If you don't shorten the journey by boat, you'll need a bit of stamina for the route.
A cycle tour for nature lovers and culture vultures

Arrive relaxed and hire bikes from local hire companies. The capacity for taking bikes on the trains is limited and, depending on capacity utilisation, it is not possible to guarantee that you will be able to take your own bike with you.
