Discover Bad Kissingen's story: Bicycle tour through UNESCO World Heritage!

Bad Kissingen, Deutschland - The charming spa town of Bad Kissingen put together a special event today on July 5, 2025: an exciting bicycle tour that should bring the participants closer to the fascinating facets of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. On the tour, the participants can discover both the wonderful landscapes and the cultural highlights of the region. The city of Bad Kissingen itself has the threads in their hands and invites bike enthusiasts to become part of this experience.

Starting point of the bike tour is the picturesque spa garden, where the first guests gather at the bicycle stands in regent construction at 10:00 a.m. From there it goes in a southern direction, past important supply structures such as the train station and the old slaughterhouse, which played a major role in the development of the spa and its guests. Looking into the history of the city and a tour of sacred rooms, for example the Redeemer Church, are also on the program.

route and cultural highlights

The route comprises a total of around 10 kilometers, largely runs on flat, easily accessible bike paths and is ideal for organic and e-bikes. After visiting the rose garden and the salt promenade, the tour ends on the upper and lower salt. There is not only the opportunity to get to know the history of salt, but also to explore the impressive connection between Bad Kissingen and Otto von Bismarck. Bismarck, who stayed in Bad Kissingen 15 times between 1874 and 1893, left his constant impression in the city. His monument, which was built in 1877, is a real attraction and is reminiscent of its special role in history. The monument is accessible 24 hours a day, dogs are welcome and admission is free of charge.

A special highlight of the tour is the discussion about the "culture of walking" and the introduction to new sports. After around 90 minutes, which will surely pass how to fly, the cyclists have the option to follow the tour guide on the way back. There are also special ticket prices for families: adults pay 10 euros, children up to 12 years only 5 euros. Entry to the Museum Obere Saline is already included in the ticket price and rounds off the offer.
