Me too, Bill. You can take the bus from the Zob (904) to Hallstadt, have a beer in Goldene Lowen (or Faessla Stube next door), walk across the Main bridge to Eichorn Dorfleins. Then you have two possibilities. If you walk back across the Main bridge, turn left up the cycle track to Kemmern - its about a 45 minute walk. In Kemmern, you have Wagner (super pub). An alternative is to not cross the river but walk through the woods (near Diller Keller, which, sadly will be closed - but you can meet Mrs. Diller in Lowen and sample the Honig, so all is not lost!) and down the opposite side of Main, crossing the river at the Kemmern Bridge. This is a lovely walk through the woods but the track is fairly rough and it is easy to get lost - we did! Shout if you want more info. From Kemmern, you can walk on the cycle track to Breitengaussbach and even Baunach (we got halfway to Breitengaussbach before receive a frantic text from Don telling us it was closed). I think the 2 B's are on the rail line to Bamberg but beware that most trains don't stop at these little stations, including Hallstadt. There are buses from Kemmern to Bamberg but watch the last schedule times. The walk from Memmelsdorf to Merkendorf is quite pleasant but along fairly busy roads (I didn't take in Drosendorf but think that can be included in a round trip). Re. Sonne etc. You could take the bus to Gaustadt (Nick mentioned a nice pub there) and then walk to Bischberg (apart from Zur Sonne, there is a nice little pub that sells Mahrs). From there, it's only a short distance to Mainlust in Viereth and, if you're a really hearty wlaker, you could make Weiher or even Trabelsdorf - no, maybe those are a step too far! Before you start this one, check on the Bamberg - Gaustadt - Bischberg road, because there were major road works on it in September. Sounds good, I wonder if there's any cheap Ryanair flights at the moment!
