Rent a vacation apartment Franconian Wine Country

Palate and senses rejoice

Nestled between the Spessart, Rhön, Steigerwald and Tauber valleys, romantic wine-growing villages and the royal seat of Würzburg attract visitors to Franconian wine country. Conviviality and a wealth of culture characterise the area in the Maindreieck. Franconian wine has a special influence on this region and the people who live there. The most important grape variety is Müller-Thurgau with its fragrant and flowery bouquet, followed by Silvaner. Typical of Franconian wine is the bulbous, round bottle shape, the famous Bocksbeutel, which has been the trademark of Franconian wine for centuries and is now even protected by the EU. During a visit to a winegrower, a walk through the vineyards, an exquisite wine tasting or one of the many wine festivals, holidaymakers get to know Franconian wine and its land of origin.

Like the wine, like the cuisine: hearty! The cuisine is as hearty as the land and its people and in keeping with Franconian wine. According to the seasons, there are typical seasonal dishes such as game, fish and poultry specialities in autumn and winter, Franconian asparagus in May and June and hearty dishes such as onion tart or plum tart to go with Federweißen.

But the Franconian wine country not only satisfies the palate, but also the senses. In the metropolis of Würzburg, the important Baroque master builder Balthasar Neumann built the Residenz as a "castle above the castles". The Venetian Giovanni Battista Tiepolo created one of the largest paintings in the world with the enormous ceiling fresco above the freely vaulted sky of the famous staircase. Among the most famous sights of the diocesan town of Würzburg are also the cathedral and the neighbouring Neumünster. High above the Main lies the Marienberg Fortress, formerly the seat of the Franconian dukes and the domicile of the prince-bishops. Today, its walls house the Main-Franconian Museum, whose treasures include a collection of important works by the sculptor Tilman Riemenschneider. His traces can be found in many places in Franconian wine country. For example, in the church "Maria im Weingarten" in Volkach: it is adorned with the famous "Rosary Madonna".

The successful combination of cultural experience and conviviality with Franconian wine is undoubtedly what makes Franconian wine country so attractive. This is complemented by the range of leisure activities - from hiking and cycling to sporting activities such as golf or tennis.

Hiking in the wine country means, for example, walking along the Main, up to the heights of the Spessart, Rhön and Steigerwald or preferably right into the vineyards. Vineyard trails or wine culture trails lead right into the heart of the wine-rich landscape, cool forests and fragrant meadows provide variety. In addition to many charming local circular hiking trails, the large long-distance trails in the Franconian wine country invite you to go hiking: The Main River with its gentle meanders, for example, lends special charm to the Mainwanderweg. The Celtic Experience Trail stretches across the south-east of the Franconian Wine Country: a hike into prehistory as a search for traces of a rediscovered European era.

Along the river banks, between sunny vineyards, to charming villages and historic towns, fantastic cycle tours lead. When cycling, you have the free choice between pleasure routes, sporty routes or e-bike tours. Certified quality routes such as the Main Cycle Path, which is repeatedly voted one of the most popular routes in Germany by cyclists, or other long-distance cycle paths such as the Main-Tauber-Fränkischer Radachter or the Wern Cycle Path guarantee relaxed tour enjoyment without major climbs along the river. In addition to these exciting cycling tours, the Franconian Wine Country offers numerous well-developed routes worth discovering, on which you can cycle right into the romantic vineyard landscape, to historical sites, small winegrowing villages and, of course, to enjoyable stops along the way.

Swimming lakes and pools await swimmers and those looking for relaxation, while holidaymakers can play bowling and mini-golf. Guests can be active with Nordic walking, water sports and tennis, and fun sports such as inline skating, go-karting or wakeboarding can also be tried out. Horseback riding, horse-drawn carriage rides or boat trips focus on the experience of nature or socialising.

Those who want to spend a bit livelier days can choose from 14 extraordinary city personalities between imperial and royal seat, civic pride and cultural centres. The imperial cities of Nuremberg, Rothenburg ob der Tauber or Schweinfurt, for example, still present themselves in their historical garb. Proud buildings bear witness to the self-confidence of the citizens. The former residential towns of Ansbach, Bayreuth, Coburg, Dinkelsbühl and Kulmbach, on the other hand, like to show their princely side. Franconian city breaks also take you to bishop's towns: In Aschaffenburg, Bamberg, Eichstätt and Würzburg, the prince and archbishops underpinned their claim to leadership with magnificent buildings. Erlangen and Fürth shine as lively cultural attractions. The small town of Volkach also deserves a special mention, as it lies on the only bend in the River Main not only in Bavaria, but in Germany.

For a relaxing holiday according to your own schedule, a holiday flat or a holiday home is a good choice, especially since many accommodations allow pets on request.
