Main Winery tour

The continuously signposted cycle path mostly runs along the riverside and doesn’t have any bigger gradients. It is almost completely asphalted and nearly car-free.

Individual arrival.

A beautiful bike route takes you through the Volkach Main Loop and along small wine villages to Sommerach. The heart of the Franconian wine country awaits you with baroque town houses, half-timbered winegrowers’ farms and the Winzerkeller, the oldest winegrowers’ cooperative in Franconia. Look forward to the "Kostbar" with wine advice, wine sales and wine tasting, to the "Sommerbar" to relax and to the wine school. Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 3 p.m. you can take part in a guided wine stroll and learn a lot of interesting facts about wine (optional).

After a few kilometers the old town of Dettelbach invites you to enjoy a worthwhile break. You will be fascinated by the almost completely preserved city walls, small towers and picturesque rows of half-timbered houses. Via Kitzingen, the largest wine trading city on the Main with its historic market square, and Marktbreit you will cycle to Ochsenfurt. Look forward to visiting the old town surrounded by a well-preserved defensive wall, where you can easily reach the city hall and the castle via the typical step gables. You will stay at the winery, look over the wine grower‘s shoulder and taste the fine wines.

Today’s bike path leads along famous vineyards such as Teufelskeller, Marsberg and Sonnenstuhl to Würzburg. Marvel here at the market square, the town hall, the Marienkapelle chapel with sandstone figures, and the prince-bishop’s residence. Via Veitshöchstheim and Thüngersheim with its modern vinothek you cycle to Karlstadt.

Today, the characteristic vineyard landscape gives way to shadowy forests. In only 10 minutes driving time (Karlstadt - Gemünden) or 25 minutes driving time (Karlstadt - Lohr) by train you can shorten the cycling stage on your own. After Lohr with its fairy-tale old town, you cycle directly along the river to the romantic wine village of Homburg.

Passing Wertheim with its charming half-timbered houses and winding old town, you cycle mostly directly along the riverbank and enjoy pure nature. Near Bürgstadt you will again discover vines and grapevines on which mostly red grapes are now ripening. Look forward to a pretty wine town, small delicacies in the Häckerwirtschaften, the red wine hiking trail and St. Martin’s Chapel with its unique interior painting.–

Today it’s only a stone’s throw to Miltenberg with its magnificent market square and pretty half-timbered houses, before you cycle parallel to the Red Wine Trail to Großheubach. Here the vines grow mainly on steep Buntsandtsteinter terraces, the basis for the noble red grape varieties Blauer Spätburgunder, Frühburgunder, Portugieser or St. Laurent. The route follows flat paths via Klingenberg to the sandstone Johannisburg Castle in Aschaffenburg.
