Erlabrunn - Karlstadt: And back to Munich - Spring Tour in Bavaria 2010 - Part 2

Erlabrunn - Karlstadt: And back to Munich

Another sunny morning, but our last for this trip. We have commitments and must to return to Munich today.

Again villages, vineyards, smooth bike paths - we could go on like this forever. Or maybe not? Perhaps a bit, not too much mind you, but a bit of adversity is the salt in the soup? I hope I'm not tempting the gods to give us a generous portion of adversity on our next trip as punishment for not being satisfied when all is well. I think it's the challenge and feeling of discovery and accomplishment I miss when only travelling on these perfect bike paths, as beautiful and tempting as they might be.

And yet another picturesque town on the banks of the Main

In Karlstadt we check the schedule at the train station and hop the next train to Würzburg where we have a good connection to Munich.

At the moment we are looking forward to a longer summer trip where we will work out the route ourselves and have the element of the unknown to spur us on.

But I'm sure, or I hope, we will also be doing plenty more bike-path trips in the future. As a matter of fact, we haven't even reached the end of the Main where it flows into the Rhine. Since we made a point of starting at the river's source, it would only be consistent to ride its full length. Will there be a Spring Tour in Bavaria Part 3?
