Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Wurtzbourg à Wertheim

Cruise from the historic heart of Würzburg to charming Wertheim am Main on this scenic 50 km cycling adventure. Starting in Würzburg, you’ll be pedaling away from the city’s famous Baroque palace (the UNESCO-listed Würzburg Residence) and winding out through lush Franconian countryside and quiet river valleys.

The route is mostly on smooth paved surfaces and quiet roads, with just a dash of gravel and tracks to keep things interesting. Expect some rolling hills—there’s around 800 meters of ascent and descent, so you’ll definitely earn your snack stops. Along the way, you'll pass through wine-growing villages, gentle woodland, and maybe even catch river views as you approach Wertheim.

Your ride finishes at Wertheim am Main, where the Tauber meets the Main River and the picturesque old town nestles beneath Wertheim Castle. It’s the ideal spot to refuel with cake and coffee, and soak up the history before your train ride home or further travels. Don’t forget your camera—the scenery is pretty spectacular!
