July 29, 2025,Stadtrundgang in Würzburg 🏰 vulgo Herbipolis

Würzburg, a Lower Franconian city on the Main River... like something out of a picture book, this charming city. 😘 ... there's not much more to add as far as I'm concerned. ☺️

I would also like to point out that the inner courtyard of Marienberg Fortress was closed at the time of my visit due to renovations. 😒

February 5, 2022,Beste Runde für und durch Würzburg

Hello, we were surprised how beautiful Würzburg is and what Würzburg has to offer. Even the February weather didn't detract from that. How beautiful does it have to be in spring or summer when everything is in bloom. Even autumn will be great, in the Japanese Garden for example. We'll definitely come back and check it out. Worth a trip!

We liked both very much 👍, especially the great views of the Main and the city. Then we went to the residence on the other side of the Main …

April 30, 2024,Sightseeing-Tour Würzburg für die liebe Saskia ❤

Today I finally showed @Saskia (Wandertante) the city that I fell in love with over 13 years ago and that was the reason why I moved from the Baltic Sea to Franconia.

First we visited the Residenz, where my photographer's heart was jumping for joy. I just love this place, especially at this time of year with the great photo …
