Prichsenstadt Old Town

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

Prichsenstadt lies in the district of Kitzingen in Lower Franconia. Well manageable with historical half-timbered houses in the old town, many towers and arches very worth seeing.
The "wide lake" is beautifully located on the edge with a view of 🦢🦢🦢 and the vineyards, simply wonderful.

Ilmbach Castle

Highlight • Castle

At this point originally stood a castle that was converted in 1453 into a Carthusian monastery. The monastery fell into disrepair and in 1873, after the secularization, a hunting lodge was built. It serves since then the family Schönborn as hunting lodge and residence.

Jagdhaus Ilmbach

Highlight • Restaurant

The Jagdhaus Ilmbach is quietly located in a dreamlike setting in the Steigerwald near Kirchschönbach in Prichsenstadt. The Jagdhaus Ilmbach in the Steigerwald Nature Park has always been an insider tip for hikers, bikers and day trippers.

Mariengarten, Ilmbach Charterhouse

Highlight • Historical Site

A monastery used to stand here around 1453 on an area of around 5.8 hectares. Unfortunately, there is not much to see here. It was destroyed in the Peasants' War around 1525. An information board on site tells the history of the monastery.

Ilmbach Pond

Highlight • Lake

At this point, in the immediate vicinity of the Jagdhaus Ilmbach, an old inn, this pond is located at the edge of the forest, which probably belonged to the nearby monastery that once stood here (around 1454 to 1803). Today the forest has recaptured the place and hardly anything reminds of the past.

We start in the beautiful town of Prichsenstadt in spring weather. Parking is free.
The paths are sometimes "difficult to walk on" and we even turned around once.
The path essentially follows the "Hasenweg" signposting. However, there are few benches for hikers along the way.
At the end, be sure to stop off at one of the cafés or wine …
