Burg Wertheim at night
We returned from Munich and the Okotoberfest on Tues. the 25th. After spending 4 days at home we wanted to get back on the bikes. The weather turned warm and sunny and we left for Gemunden by train. It was only one hour train ride to reach the Main river bike trail. This would take us downriver via Frankfurt an Main and on to Mainz where the Main empties into the Rhein. The trail pretty much follows the river and we passed the smallest town in Bavaria, Rothenfels, with the castle above. The trail winds it's way along the river with the hills and woods of the Spessart to the right of the river. The leaves are starting to turn and autumn is upon us. We arrived in the little town of Wertheim with it's castle above. Since it was late in the afternoon we found a room in the Hotel "Zum Schwan" right close to the bike trail. We walked into the Zenturm for dinner and had some more Federwiesen(juice of the grape just before it turns to wine). It is called Sturm in Austria, very good but dangerous. |
