Adventure route 6: energy bike route in the northern Tauber valley

In addition to the impressive old town of Wertheim, it is worth making a longer stop in Freudenberg, whose historic town centre has also been under monument protection as a complete entity since 2004. Above the town rises the ruin of Freudenberg Castle, overlooking the Main. In the north of the town, there is also a small zoo that kindly charges no entrance fee as well as a small bathing lake next to the Main.

If you want to split the route over two days, you will certainly find a suitable accommodation in Freudenberg for the night. Along the stretches in between, a visit to the Romanesque-Gothic Bronnbach monastery from the 12th century is worthwhile. Attached to the monastery, you will even find a restaurant with a wine shop. A visit to Collenburg Castle in Collenberg or Henneburg in Stadtprozelten is also a good idea. The small Asian garden designed according to Feng Shui in the south of Faulbach perfectly rounds off the energy bike route.
