Fairy-tale towns along the Main River

Historic old towns, charming castles, and magnificent churches draw visitors from one place to the next in Franconia. 

Surrounded by forests and often enclosed by towers and ancient walls, many of these towns have a fairy-tale quality. Each one also invites you on a culinary journey of discovery. It's no coincidence that Franconia is known as a “land of indulgence.” 

The art of brewing beer is just as deeply rooted here as the tradition of winemaking. Local wines and beers pair perfectly with the hearty regional cuisine. One thing is certain: the way to fall in love with Franconia is also through its food.

Tour details

Individual arrival in Bamberg and embarkation from 4:00 p.m. onwards. Bamberg is a city full of character and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The “Island District” resembles a little Venice, the “Hill District” is often called the Franconian Rome, and the “Gardeners’ District” is truly one of a kind.

 

Klein Venedig, Bamberg

In the morning, you arrive in Haßfurt with its charming historic old town. Nestled between two nature parks, the city is home to remarkable sacred buildings such as the late Gothic Knights' Chapel and the parish church, featuring sculptures by Tilman Riemenschneider. From here, you hop on your bike and ride to the former imperial city of Schweinfurt.

 

Bamberg

Today’s destination is either Kitzingen or Marktbreit, depending on the final mooring confirmation. The historic wine trading town of Kitzingen is home to the German Carnival Museum, offering insights into a significant aspect of Franconian tradition. The town’s landmark is the Falterturm, known for its distinctive crooked roof. In Kitzingen, a long history of brewing meets winemaking. Several local inns serve hearty Franconian specialties such as Sauerbraten with dumplings or “blue” carp. Alternatively, you can choose to stay on board until Volkach, which shortens the bike tour by approximately 25 kilometers.

 

Kitzingen

Today, Würzburg awaits you with many sights to explore. One of the highlights is the Würzburg Residence, considered one of Germany’s most important palaces and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981. Other well-known landmarks include St. Kilian’s Cathedral and Marienberg Fortress. Würzburg is also a center of Franconian wine culture and, as a vibrant university town, full of life even in the evenings.

 

Marienburg Fortress, Würzburg

In the late morning, you arrive in Karlstadt. Towers, gates, and old walls surround the historic center with its half-timbered houses and narrow alleyways. Today’s destination is the town of Lohr am Main. Its old town, shaped by typical Franconian timber-frame architecture, marks the gateway to the Spessart hills. Buildings such as the Electoral Mainz Castle add to the town’s fairy-tale charm.

 

Your ship takes you to the residence city of Wertheim, with its impressive Castle as its landmark. This historic town, featuring a charming market square and what is said to be the narrowest house in Franconia, marks the starting point of today’s bike stage to Freudenberg. Perched high above the Main River and the town, Freudenburg Castle sits at the edge of the Franconian Odenwald.

 

The highlight of today’s bike tour is Miltenberg, home to the Mildenburg Castle, built in 1200. From Erlenbach to Kleinwallstadt, you follow the “Planet Cycle Path,” offering interesting facts about the planets along the way. The riverside forest between Niedernheim and Nilkheim provides a pleasantly shaded route during summer. All along the Main River, you’ll find benches and picnic spots that invite you to take a break—or even go for a swim.

Your destination is the charming university town of Aschaffenburg, known for its impressive Renaissance palace, Johannisburg Castle, built from red sandstone. The town also offers plenty of wine taverns, cafés, and traditional inns to enjoy. In the evening, a farewell dinner awaits you on board as your ship sails back to Frankfurt/Main.
