Description
Volkach is a small town of Lower Fanconia, in Northern Bavaria. It lies on the Main river and is considered one of the region's rural treasures. It hosts an annual regional wine festival every year in August since 1948. Highlights include the Townhall, the Market Square, the Upper Gate ("Diebenturm'), St. Bartholomew Church built in the 15th century, and the late-Gothic pilgrimage church Maria im Weingarten located just outside of town.
Access & Transport
Volkach is 30km northeast of Würzburg (B19), 95km northwest of Nuremberg (A3/B22) and 150km east of Frankfurt (A3)
Instructions & Recommendations
We suggest combining this activity with a visit of Marienberg Fortress (30km away)
Environmental & Social
The only carbon footprint is that of your car if you drive there. Any amount spent there (F&B, accommodation, wine purchase) helps the local rural economy.
Conclusion
