Johannes Deppisch Weinhaus am Main Winery is a must for any trip to Germany let alone the Würzburg area. Herr Deppisch went to great lengths to ensure my wife and I had the absolute best experience possible during our time visiting the winery. The atmosphere, wine cellar, family restaurant across the street and history behind the family winery were incredible to learn about and experience. Visiting the actual vineyard was an exciting endeavor all on its own. Herr Deppisch describes in detail the history of his winery/vineyard through personal tales of past generations. The wine is exquisite and anyone looking to taste high quality wine should look into visiting Deppisch Weinhaus am Main Winery. My wife and I highly encourage anyone interested to look into visiting when the local festival organized by Herr Deppisch is going on. The local businesses and tradesman gather to create a one of a kind experience for those visiting Marktheidenfeld. Thank You Herr Johannes for a once in a life time experience!

We're a small, family run wine estate that grows sustainably. Our vineyards are spread all over the Randersacker's steep hills. We also offer tours and tasting for groups with previous notice. Beside the winery we open our historic tavern twice a year (March to April and October to November) where we serve tasty local dishes accompanying our house-made wine.

The St. Kilian Distillers GmbH is a whisky distillery in scottish tradition. We are located in a small tributary of the river Main in the Bavarian Odenwald. Since 2016 we are producing our german single malt whisky. The first St. Kilian whisky arrived 2019. Due to Covid19 there are no guided tours available at the moment. Regardless our shop and onlineshop are still opened.

What an incredible facility and very welcoming, knowledgeable staff who showed us around. Clearly a lot of money has been spent developing the distillery in the wonderful Bavarian setting, and the results are clear to see/taste - they are already winning awards for their young whisky! We really would recommend this place for the casual visitor and it's a must-see for whisky enthusiasts who happen to be in the Frankfurt area. Oh, and the world whisky lounge is very impressive - the array of bottles from all over the place is remarkable! Highly recommend St Kilian.

Sie wollten schon immer wissen, was „Helau“ und „Alaaf“ eigentlich bedeuten? Was es mit der Bütt auf sich hat? Oder warum sich alles im Karneval um die Elf dreht? Dann sind Sie im Deutschen Fastnachtmuseum genau richtig. Denn hier können Sie allen Fragen rund um Fasching, Fastnacht und Karneval spielerisch auf den Grund gehen. Zahlreiche Mitmach-Stationen und weitläufige Ausstellungsräume versprechen einen kurzweiligen Museumsbesuch. Auch Kinder kommen nicht zu kurz – sie können sich entweder selbst verkleiden oder mit einem Quiz das Museum kennenlernen. Das Museum ist daher ein ideales Ausflugsziel für Familien. In einem „virtuellen Narrentheater“, einer Multi-Media-Show, erzählen Figuren aus verschiedenen Karnevals- und Fastnachtsregionen ihre Geschichte. Das Fastnachtmuseum ist nicht nur das einzige seiner Art, es ist, nachdem es im November 2013 eröffnet wurde, auch eines der modernsten in ganz Deutschland.

This palace served as the home for Würzburg's powerful prince-bishops during the Enlightenment and is known for its extravagant artistic design and Baroque architecture.

We walked ahead and reached the Würzburg Residence with the Courtyard Gardens and the Residence Square. A very strong representation of the 18th-century Baroque palace architecture, the Würzburg Residence has been listed has World Heritage Site since 1981. As soon as we had stepped in through one of the three monumental gates, we realised that we had indeed saved the best for the last... Once within the Courtyard Gardens, we were appalled by its beauty and wonderstruck to see how thoughtfully it had been planned within the fortifications. Known to be one of the finest Baroque Gardens that Germany can boast of, the Courtyard Garden is made up of three sections, South Garden inside the gate, the East Garden, the and the Nursery The part of the Courtyard Garden or ‘Hofgarten’ close to the Residence or ‘Residenz’ comprises the east part. It is grand and in formal Baroque style with the terraces that create an illusion of spaciousness. As we moved further towards the south end, we noticed a transition in its style towards an English garden, with perfectly trimmed sharply conical 18th Century Yew trees, with sculptures at their base, with mini forests and meadows and an orangery at the far back. Monumental sculptures, statues of Greek Gods, figures, vases, urns decorate the park which has cute white benches. I was particularly smitten by the fountain because of the frozen water around. A small branch was lying on top of the frozen water and it was a spectacular sight. The Nursery is like a rough park. I could not help wondering how lush green and colourful the Courtyard Garden would look when in full bloom. The Courtyard Gardens could be visited free of charge, but for visiting the Residence, one has to take a guided tour. The baroque palace, Würzburg Residence, was built in 1720 at the request of Bishop Johann. The palace is made of yellow sandstone and hence emits a golden glow. I am very fond of palace tours as I am invariably intrigued about its interiors. Photographs were not permitted but I brought back memories of this Franconian Versailles which boasts of grand rooms, more than three hundred in number, spread over three wings; the central main, the north and the south wings. I was mesmerised by the ornately elegant golden and marble church ‘Hofkirche’, which was built for the exclusive use of the prince bishop, the grand, wide staircase, the ceiling decorated with frescoes, the alter decorated with paintings of Tiepolo, the chapel and the Imperial Hall; all of which bear the impressions of Baroque, Rococo or Neoclassical architecture and art. It goes without saying that Residence too was very badly damaged during the World War II, but thankfully, it was eventually restored.

This museum is one of the two which is housed in the fortress. It gives a nice view of the Frankish history.
