Gita in bici di un giorno da Lichtenfels a Bamberga

This scenic ride takes you from Lichtenfels to Bamberg, covering about 44 km with gentle ascents and descents—perfect for a relaxed day of cycling. You’ll start off in Lichtenfels, a town that’s lovingly called the “German Basket City” thanks to its basket-weaving heritage. The route is mostly paved (over 89%), so it’s friendly for almost any bike.

You’ll enjoy a mix of quiet roads and dedicated paths (no busy main roads to worry about) as you glide through the lush Upper Franconian countryside, skirting the Main River for some lovely water views. Along the way, keep an eye out for charming villages and perhaps stop for a snack at a traditional bakery.

Your journey wraps up in magical Bamberg, a UNESCO World Heritage city famed for its brewery scene, medieval architecture, and the romantic Little Venice district. Treat yourself to a well-earned Rauchbier (smoked beer) at one of Bamberg’s historic taverns—you’ve earned it!
