This is the trail we will be following. There are actually 2 Tauber trails but the other is the "sport" trail and is very hilly. I said "no way are we doing the hilly one". The trail is in the forest and follows the river fairly close and we went thru 3 villages before coming to the Kloster Bronnbach

The Kloster Bronnbach was started in the mid 1100s by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux. He was a Cistercian, an offshoot of the Benedictines. The Cistercians have the winemaking Abby in Vina Ca. which is called New Clairvaux . Google Earth the Kloster and get more pictures of it.

| The simple apse and altar in the Church |
 |
| Johanna asking a local statute for directions |
 |
| A herb garden in the foreground and the gestehaus in the background |
 |
| A rain gutter on the gestehaus. These are quite common and take a lot of different forms from serpents to devils to animals |

After leaving the kloster we go thru a village and get a pic of Johanna with 2 things commonly found in German towns, the fountain and the biergarten sign. The day ended up hot and we stopped for a beer and some lunch. I had a beer which was a mistake. We rode to Tauberbischofsheim and J wanted to go to the Landschaftsmuseum but I found some grass and took a nap. She later woke me up and we rode on to Dettigheim got a room at the Gruner Baum Gestehaus.
