Neuhaus Castle in Igersheim is truly fairytale-like.
What secrets might it hide?

By bus to Igersheim.

This route is perfect if you want to really let off steam briefly or plan a relaxed bike outing on the weekend. Start and end point are in Igersheim. From there, the route follows the Harthauser Talbach along the edge of the forest to Harthausen. The highest point of the route is reached shortly afterward right on the border between Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. Beyond Bernsfelden, it continues along the Stalldorfer Bach, which later merges as the Nassauer Bach near Schäftersheim into the Tauber. The path leads through Weikersheim along the Tauber back to the starting point in Igersheim.
