After a very hot day of riding yesterday we were happy to stop here in Bergrheinfeld. As luck with have it, we pulled off the route to explore this village and Gasthof Weisses Ross was the first thing we saw. It was overpriced, but humidity had taken its toll and we were well situated when the weather turned. A good decision as the Gasthof provides good bike storage, a large comfortable room and includes a full buffet breakfast in this family run place.
We were greeted with a rainy morning, but it seems like it will clear. And with only 51 km to go to Wurzburg, we are motivated.
Our Gasthof for the night. We enjoy staying in traditional guesthouses like this with breakfast in the cosy dining room. Our bedroom is on the second floor to the left of the religious statue.
Now, this is a delightful surprise. The distance on the Main Radweg to Wurzburg is 80+km, but if we follow this local overland route, it is only 51 km. Guess which route we will choose?!
We headed out overland hoping that the signage would be good. It was pretty good and we had the GPS to keep us going in the right direction when we needed the help. The route was really lovely, cutting across the countryside with many villages along the way. It turns out that there were multiple routes through this area. A good ride.
We rode by a girl’s net ball tournament in this village. Several games were being played as we watched.
Another view of the quality of cycling that we are enjoying today. It is very quiet with locals and families out for a ride. We imagine that the well known Main Radweg along the River attracts more travellers.
Since it is July and the height of the tourist season, we did some research to find our best and affordable option for a hotel as we would like to stay here a few days. The Ibis was great value and the bonus is that it is directly on the river with a great view from our room. Also, Ibis had created bike storage in their lobby with lockable racks.
We sat by this art installation in the centre of Wurzburg while researching a place to stay. It took us a while to be able to see the two images that the artist has created. If you look carefully you can see the words love and hate interwoven. As in this sculpture, we are encouraged to allow love to override hate.
