Franconian Wine Country (Fränkisches Weinland)

Enter a different world by following the Main River between Spessart, Rhoen, and Steigerwald through the picturesque vacation region of the Franconian Wine Country.

It comes as not surprise that this region is shaped by the Franconian Wine which is grown on about 5000 ha of vineyards.

To truly experience the land and its people there are some activities you shouldn"t miss: Visit one of the local vintners (who have shed the old "Bocksbeutel" image and progressed to produce internationally renowned high class wines); take long walks and hikes through the vineyards (who have been cultivated by the same families for generations); or enjoy a casual get-together at one of the many wine festivals, or inside the numerous wine taverns.

And that"s not the only way to cater to your physical well-being: Those guests looking for exercise and sports have also come to the right place.

Last but not least: The Franconian Wine Country is of immense interest for culture vultures that can discover a different treasure with every step: Palaces and Estates, especially the World Heritage Site in Würzburg, churches, monasteries, and chapels, not to forget the many museums which could keep you fascinated forever.

One of the loveliest parts of the Franconian Wine Country is the Volkacher Mainschleife (Main Sinuosity of Volkach), where you can expand your wine expertise and learn interesting facts on Franconian Wine.
