Ebrach Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

great RR destination. There is plenty of food and culture on site! easy to reach e.g. from Bamberg (approx. 40 km of best RR paths)

The former Cistercian Abbey of Ebrach is a popular destination. With its wonderful rosette, the Gothic church and the castle-like baroque monastery are one of the regional highlights that are well worth seeing

The Cistercian Abbey of Ebrach was probably the most important place for the intellectual and colonization development of the western Bamberg region and the entire Steigerwald region. In the depths of the Steigerwald, which they reclaimed, monks practically created a Romanesque and from 1200 the most magnificent early Gothic building in Germany in the depths of the Steigerwald, as the art historian Konrad Dehio judged. Generous foundations and support from the Staufer kings allowed the new foundation to flourish and prosper. In the 18th century, the Ebrach monastery was fundamentally redesigned by Leonhard Dientzenhofer into a castle-like baroque complex, fortunately the Gothic church with its wonderful rose window remained. In 1803 the monastery was secularized. The wonderful wooded surroundings of the Steigerwald and the historical past of this site of monastic culture made Ebrach a popular attraction.

Upper Town Gate (Oberes Tor), Prichsenstadt

Highlight • Monument

Through the beautiful city gate with two round towers you enter the old town of Prichsenstadt from the west. Today, Prichsenstadt is a wine-growing town in the Franconia region. A large vineyard exists around the town, and the wine has been marketed under the name Prichsenstädter Krone since the 1970s. Source: Wikipedia

Sommerach historic town centre

Highlight • Historical Site

With the Sommeracher Katzenkopf, the municipality boasts one of Franconia's most famous vineyards. Wine shapes the village in many ways. Franconia's oldest winegrowers' cooperative was founded here in 1901. The annual Altort Wine Festival is the centerpiece of the festival calendar. The centuries-old cultural landscape of the wine island, with the vine-covered Kreuzberg at its center, attracts tourists, as does the largely preserved early modern town center, which has won numerous awards. Sommerach boasts a partially intact town wall with two intact gates. The Catholic Eucharius Church forms the centerpiece of the village. In addition, numerous Häcker houses and, not least, the former official buildings of the village lords form a remarkable ensemble.

Volkach Market Square and Fountain

Highlight • Settlement

The wine town of Volkach is the center of the Mainschleife and looks back over more than 1,100 years of local history, all in the name of Frankenwein. Take a stroll through the market square with the historic town hall, stroll through the adjacent alleys and treat yourself to a good glass of local wine at the end of a hiking day.
