This map shows the attractions along the Main from Würzburg to Hanau, mainly the Spessart, a mountainous forest north of the Main. The Main is a great choice for long bike rides, as there is minimal elevation gain and few major roads near the river. At the same time, there are few truly top highlights.

“Mountain road” Bergstrasse. From Darmstadt to Heidelberg
The region from Heidelberg to Frankfurt is usually overlooked by tourists. However, touristic route Bergstrasse has its own character and a fair number of quite decent attractions. It is not suitable for a full-fledged vacation, but for a pleasant few days, a day trip or a stop along a long route – quite excellent. You can get around by car, train or bike. The best time is spring and autumn.
Attractions around Fontainebleau – south from Paris
This map will focus on attractions south from Paris – the departments of Essone and Seine-et-Marne around Fontainebleau. Most are suitable for day trips or stopovers along the way. You can stay up to three days in Fontainebleau and Provins to explore the area.
By car, bike and public transport in the Loire Valley
In this topic we’ll look at how you can get around the Loire Valley by car, bike and bus. Public transport in the Loire Valley provides access to most attractions. However, when it comes to buses, this opportunity is often only available a couple of times a day.
Baltic sea. Schleswig, Hedeby and Danevirke
Schleswig – settlement (or harbor according to other versions) on the Schlei (Sly). The location seems to be extremely advantageous: on the one hand, there is access to the sea, on the other, it is well protected. And the other sea is just a stone’s throw away. But the Sly Firth is not suitable for shipping, so Schleswig is more of a sleeping village rather than a large city.
Baltic Sea. Kappeln, Eckernförde, Sly Firth and everything in between
In this topic we will explore the Baltic Sea coast from Kappeln to Eckernförde and Sly Firth. The Baltic coast of Schleswig-Holstein is more interesting than the North Sea coast in terms of what to see. There are also more developed resorts here, as well as large cities and additional entertainment.
Odenwald sightseeing
Odenwald is a forested and mountainous region between Frankfurt, Heidelberg and Heilbronn. The mountains are quite high in places. Every time we passed through Odenwald, it was a trip without confidence that we would get where we needed to go on time. The road stretched into infinity and led to completely unexpected places. In my opinion, ghosts from neighboring Spessart have long since moved to this enchanted place, namely to the village of Mudau, which, after two hits, we decided to avoid by any means.
Donautal: Danube source, Danube Valley, Sigmaringen
The Danube Valley from Sigmaringen to Tuttlingen is not so widely known and is not as popular as the nearby Black Forest. But these stunning views are worth spending a day biking, hiking, or even just taking the train along. In this topic we will look at the Danube source and the Danube Valley (with maps) and get to Sigmaringen.
