Riverside promenade along the Main with views of Schloss Johannisburg and the Pompejanum

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice opportunity to go for a walk on the Main below the sights and let the flair and the landscape take its effect. Then treat yourself to one or two cool drinks in the beer garden on the Main.

Theoderich Gate, Johannisburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Theodorichstor, directly at the castle, is the direct access from town to Main. After a renovation at the end of the 16th century, the battlement above the gate connects the castle directly with the castle garden. In the course of the redesign of the bank of the castle, the space in front of the gate towards the Main is also being changed: a new landing stage for water hikers is to be built. The slipway must be relocated for this.

Ludwig's Fountain (Monument to King Ludwig I)

Highlight • Monument

The Ludwigsbrunnen is a memorial to the Bavarian King Ludwig I (1825 to 1848), who often visited Aschaffenburg. The fountain was ceremoniously unveiled in the open Schöntal on September 5, 1897 in the presence of Prince Regent Luitpold. The late classicist building consists of light gray granite in the substructure and in the surrounds of the basins and above it of Kehlheim limestone. The Hermenpfeiler is reminiscent of the Augustus statue at Primaporta. It is carved from Untersberg marble based on a bust of Ludwig I modeled by Ludwig Schwanthaler from life.

The top two gargoyles are shaped like ancient masks, while the lower ones are shaped as a tree frog, lizard, toad, and turtle. On the front, the allegories Bavaria and Historia are shown in relief and on the narrow sides fruit growing, shipping on the Main, trade and Spessart hunting. The architect is Paul Pfann, the sculptor Ernst Pfeifer, both from Munich. The fountain has been located on the Großmutterwiese since 1969.

May 15, 2025,Mit Sonne im Gesicht ☀️zum Gude Biergarten

Today I had arranged to meet at the Gude beer garden – so it was only natural to take a little stroll through Aschaffenburg first. Although "small" really is to be taken literally here. 🙈🙈😂

I started off quite leisurely at the Fasanerie Park. From there, I strolled over the green bridge to the Omamotte meadow. There was already quite …
