The Cycle Route Romantic Road
On your way from Würzburg to Füssen you cycle through three of Germany’s most enchanting holiday areas – Franconia, Swabia & Upper Bavaria. The cycle route runs mainly through gently undulating countryside, at first along the Rivers Tauber & Wörnitz before it crosses the Danube & heads south. Apart from a few “pushing” sections, most of the route is characterised by gentle climbs, well-made cycle tracks and quiet local roads. Right in the south, the route becomes somewhat hillier but still is suitable for normal bicycles and less athletic cyclist.
