Weinspaziergang Tours

WinewalkThe Castle - The History - The Vineyards - The WineWe meet at the big parking lot in front of the restaurant at the blue "Treffpunkt" sign. We will walk from the winery to the castle. Along the way we'll enjoy tasting five wines. We will also explore the wine cellar. You will hear interesting stories about the estate, our wines and the owners of the castle - the Earls of Schoenborn. I'd like to tell you a lot of stories and sagas.

Old Town

This walled village houses mercantile buildings dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. The fortified wall has sixteen towers; you can access the city from four of them.

Reviewed By Mellie2013 - Port Moody, Canada

Drove the Romantic Road in August. This was one of our favourite villages of the trip. Straight out of a Grimm's Fairy Tale. Cobblestone streets, friendly folks and a very peaceful atmosphere. The houses and businesses are rendered in late Renaissance facades with pastel colours and half-timbered frames. So photographic and charming. We parked on the outer ring and walked into the town through one of the four medieval gates that remain . This town has a history! Probably starting around the 8th century. It was once a "Free Imperial City" of the Holy Roman Empire. In the 13th century the fortifications began. Luckily this town is original, untouched by WWI or WWII bombings. Forward thinking in the 19th century, by Ludwig I proclaimed the city to be a heritage site to be preserved and protected. Delightful shops, bakeries, cafes, inns, restaurants and churches. Well worth an afternoon of roaming around. Highly recommend saving time to walk the fortification walls or at the least climb the St. George church tower. Delightful!

Stolpersteine

Reviewed By blauemadeleine - Erlangen, Germany

... now, whenever I come across another one of these memorial stones, they link up in one large map of memories in my mind. I read the names, the dates, and it makes history come alive. The idea of the "Stolpersteine" is simple, beautiful and effective.

Roentgen Memorial Site Wuerzburg

A small laboratory located in the former Physical Institute of the University of Wurzburg, now the University of Applied Sciences Wurzburg, was the sight of one of the most important scientific breakthroughs in medical history. On November 8th, 1895, Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen discovered a new kind of ray, which he called X-rays. Opened in 1985, this historic site honors W.C. Rontgen and his discovery, while providing an insight into physics of the late 19th century. Due to the current situation concerning COVID-19, the Bavarian Ministry of Science has ordered that all state libraries and museums are closed. For this reason, the Rontgen Memorial is also closed until further notice. Guided tours that have already been arranged will not take place.
