Maps and trails
Situated in the Bavarian district of Rhön-Grabfeld, the landscape around Bastheim is characterised by rolling hills and wide meadows. The region is known for its idyllic nature and is perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking or cycling. The hiking trails through the nearby Thuringian Forest and along the river Saale are particularly beautiful.

For cultural highlights, it is worth visiting the church of St. Michael, which dates back to the 17th century and is considered one of the most important baroque buildings in Franconia. The local history museum also provides an interesting insight into the history of the region.

If you want to get your culinary money's worth, you should definitely try the traditional dish "Schäufele" - a hearty roast pork dish with dumplings and cabbage.

Special events take place in Bastheim, especially during the summer: The annual shooting festival attracts many visitors, as does the garden festival on the first weekend in August or the open-air concert in September.

But there is also plenty to do in bad weather: a recommendation would be, for example, an excursion to nearby Bad Kissingen with its thermal springs or to Heldburg Castle with its impressive view over the surrounding area.

All in all, Bastheim is definitely worth a trip - especially for nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet. A travel guide that is worthwhile!

    Heute sind wir diese Radrunde gefahren. Es hat sich echt gelohnt, obwohl alle Einkehrmöglichkeiten wegen Corona noch geschlossen waren. Positiv überrascht wurden wir in Schönau an der Brend. Da war am Ortsausgang ein Truckimbiss geöffnet. Die jungen Leute haben sich echt was einfallen lassen. Von Burger bis Eis war alles da und wirklich lecker. Diese Runde begeistert durch die schöne Landschaft und die kleinen hübschen Ortschaften. Die Beschilderung ist auch sehr gut. Wir sind sehr gut zurechtgekommen. Wir nehmen sie in unsere Radrunden gerne auf und wiederholen sie auf jeden Fall. 👍👍👍
