Cycle Tour Maps 1:150,000 of the German Bicycle Club e.V.
No. 13, 17, 21, 25. My maps were not up to date, new cycle paths were not marked.
Leaflet: Jakobusweg Fulda-Schweinfurt, route description and accommodation directory
and hiking map "Naturpark Rhön" (Fritsch Verlag) 1:50,000 ". For foot pilgrims to Würzburg there would be another map "das Schweinfurter Land".
The Way of St. James is marked. For me as a cyclist, the map was very helpful, e.g. with the question: How do I get safely back down to Langenleiten from Kreuzberg by bike?

*) a special thanks to St. James: I must have been under his special protection, because I found the lost camera again - otherwise there would be no photos here.
