Hessian-Bavarian border route in Churfranken

The start is in Großostheim at the northern exit of the town centre, at the so-called "Kuhpforte" Großostheim. We take the cycle path to the outdoor pool and the Welzbachhalle, go under the bypass road and reach the centre of Pflaumheim via Gartenstraße. At Breitfeldstraße, we turn right out of town towards Schaafheim. Past Wartburghof, the path then steadily ascends. On Schiffweg, we reach the Wartturm (216 m), the landmark of the Bachgau region. Already located in Hesse, we are rewarded there with a magnificent panoramic view in good weather, reaching as far as the metropolis of Frankfurt. At the crossroads, to the right past fields and meadows, you reach the beautiful, historic centre of Schaafheim.

We follow the signs R1 towards Seligenstadt and now ride for a longer stretch mostly on a gravel path through the forest. After crossing B26 and the Darmstadt-Aschaffenburg railway line, we reach the Gersprenz valley and the Limes cycle path. After turning right towards Stockstadt, we are back in Bavaria. At the Stockstadt marksmen's house, a bridge takes us over the B469 expressway. We pass the outdoor pool and cycle through Schulstraße to the centre of Stockstadt am Main. Turning right, it goes for a few hundred meters on the main road and over the railway crossing. Immediately afterwards, we turn half-right into Großostheimer Straße, which, after crossing B26 again, leads us for a stretch through the forest. After crossing B469 again, we see the Ringheim airfield on the right. On Stockstädter Straße, we cycle through the north industrial area back to our starting point, where some attractive catering establishments invite you to a pleasant end of the route.
