Cyclist spring with District Administrator Thomas Eberth

Cycling has been very important in the Würzburg district for many years. Whether commuters on their way to work, day trippers or sports enthusiasts, everyone should explore their Franconian homeland by bike. That is why the district has been promoting the communities in expanding the cycle path network for many years and is also setting a good example.

The district administrator has been inviting people to the Radlerfrühling in the Würzburg district since 1997. This year, according to a press release from the Würzburg District Office, the Radlerfrühling will take place for the first time with District Administrator Thomas Eberth and, due to the corona, without a joint opening tour. Instead, the district administrator invites all bicycle enthusiasts to explore the 48-kilometer route themselves between April 24 and September 24. The start and finish point is in Greußenheim. The joint final tour with District Administrator Eberth will take place on September 25, as far as the infection rate allows. ?? Especially in spring: check your bike, clean it, inflate the tires, put on your helmet – and then start cycling. The route of the cyclist spring through the western district makes for an eventful route, says District Administrator Thomas Eberth happily.

Start and finish are in Greußenheim

The starting point of this year’s tour is at the Ramnik organic farm in Greußenheim. From there it goes via Birkenfeld and Leinach along the district border to Main-Spessart in the direction of Zellingen and Erlabrunn. At the Erlabrunn swimming lake, cyclists have the opportunity to take a break.

The tour continues on the Main Cycle Path along the communities of Margetshöchheim and Zell in the direction of Würzburg. There the route leads to Höchberg with a view of sights such as the old Main Bridge, the Church of St. Burkard and the Marienberg Fortress. The intermediate goal has been reached at the school center and it is time for the well-deserved lunch break. The cycle path then leads through Waldbüttelbrunn and Roßbrunn to just before Uettingen. Now all that’s missing is the final sprint back to the starting point in Greußenheim.

The route is about 48 kilometers long

The majority of the approximately 48 kilometers long route is covered on developed, asphalted paths. A few short sections are to be driven on paths with concrete slabs. Part of the route leads through the forest, some routes also on public roads, so greater caution is required here. Due to its sometimes very steep climbs, the tour requires a good level of fitness. It is requested that all cyclists are on the tour alone or with the family with a roadworthy bike as well as lighter, more visible clothing and a helmet.
