Nature experience between forest, wine and meadows
The area is rich in recreational activities for different interests. Just outside of town, you can take a pleasant hike or bike ride through the Franconian countryside and explore ruins from the Middle Ages, such as Zabelstein with its lookout tower that offers a sweeping view of the lush green fields below. When the heat is on, you can seek refuge at Gipssee, where locals cool off on hot days with a dip under the waterfalls1

Sights in the area1
Zabelstein Castle Ruin
The ruin with its lookout tower sits a short walk away; from the platform the view stretches far across the Steigerwald and Franconia's wine country.
Gipssee Bathing Lake
The natural bathing lake near Donnersdorf is the place to cool off on hot summer days, when hiking through the vines gets too warm.
Volkach on the Main Loop
A small wine town on the great bend of the Main, easy to reach by bike via the nearby Main cycle path; the pilgrimage church Maria im Weingarten stands above the vineyards.
Würzburg
About 40 kilometres away, the residence city on the Main with its Baroque palace and the Old Main Bridge; the go-to for a rainy or culture day.
