Last Weeks Bamberg Trip

It was meant as a cycling tour but of course one doesn't have to hit them all. Personally I think it's pleasant countryside around bad staffelstaa - of course we all have different definitions of what constitutes pleasant. What should be noted is that the scenery doesn't really change much this side of the fraenkischer Schweiz. Many of the bike tours are through pleasant green countryside (often valleys) with numerous pleasant little villages at intermittent intervals - often with breweries. 

 

The trouble is that I would need to know a number of things; how far you wish to cycle, how much beer you want to drink and whether you would consider using public transport as well. The latter is especially important as it then opens up a lot of options. For example you could take a train to Coburg and cycle to seßlach (or take the bus) and Heilgersdorf to Brauerei Sharpf. This would give you a couple of great breweries (one communal) and a visit to one of the most beautiful small towns in the region. Alternatively you could cycle from bamberg to Brauerei Fischer (greuth), Adler (Höfen), Sonne (Miesbach) and if summer and the weekend to the great Keller in rattelsdorf (near Höfen). Of course when you include bier kellers then the options triple.
