    Sind die Etappe mit Wochengepäck von Veitshöchheim bis Retzbach gelaufen, sehr schöne Abwechslung von Wald- und Weinbergpassagen, auch schöne, naturnahe Waldwege und immer wieder tolle Blicke, das Maintal hat hier einiges an Industrie, daher nicht nur idyllisch

    Eine für Jeden machbare Radtour. Die Strecke führt im Wesentlichen am Main entlang und später an der Saale. Wegen der Länge der Strecke sollte man jedoch rechtzeitig losfahren, schon wegen der vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten wie Karlstadt, Gemünden oder auch die verschiedenen Einkehrmöglichkeiten an der Saale. Wer's gemütlich mag, kann die Hintour auch aufteilen. Anstrengend wird es erst ganz zum Schluss, wenn es zum Schloss Saaleck geht. Das Hotel war jede Mühe wert. Ein herzlicher Empfang, ein wunderbarer kulinarischer Abend. Der Rückweg ist kürzer und erfordert deshalb Kondition.

    Ich habe mich hinreißen lassen, die Tour nachzufahren. Sie war landschaftlich wunderbar, für mich allerdings wegen der Länge der Strecke eine Herausforderung. Für jeden sportlich Ambitionierten jedoch ein Muss.

    Zur Erklärung für Frau Siegmann: Die Strecke ist als Trainingsstrecke für Distanzritte gedacht. D.h. Ausdauer und Tempotraining für Streckenritte. NICHT zum gemütlichen Wandern und Spaß haben
