Key facts of the tour
Cycle along the disused railway line between Rothenburg ob der Tauber and Dombühl through the romantic countryside along the River Tauber. Numerous streams and ponds line your route. You should definitely pack your swimming gear, as the tour offers several natural bathing spots.

The route is moderately difficult and has climbs of 370 metres. An e-bike would be a great advantage here.

At the end, visit the baroque Schillingsfürst Castle and be enchanted by the kings of the air in the falconry centre.

The Taubertal bike hire service delivers e-bikes to Rothenburg railway station on prior booking and picks them up again after the tour.

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.
