Vineyards of Nordheim am Main

Highlight • Settlement

Largest wine-growing community of the Franconian wine-growing region with innumerable winegrowing villages, which invite to the tasting. The small streets between the pretty vineyards and cottages are worth a detour.

The pilgrimage church is idyllically located in the middle of the vineyards above the Main. In the late Gothic church you can admire the wooden carved “Madonna in the Rosary” by Tilman Riemenschneider.

Started in Volkach in fantastic sunshine - via Sommerach to Nordheim and with the ferry to Escherndorf.
Via Volkach, a detour to Fahr past the Maria im Weingarten church.
End the day again with the ferry across the Main and in the beer garden in Kaltenhausen.
