Picturesquely nestled and located between the vineyards on the Main loop, you can wonderfully drive along the Main, stop off and enjoy the wine. There are great meals at Gasthaus Mainblick. The inn in the center of the town is currently closed.

The Käppele, or also: Capuchin Monastery Nikolausberg, can be seen from the Marienberg Fortress and can also be reached in about 2km. The ascent takes place over many old stairs in several "floors" / stations... almost meditatively. There are tall trees, apostle sculptures and benches in the shade on each new floor. The view from the top is beautiful!
