Stairway to Vogelsburg

Highlight • Trail

A monastery on the Vogelsberg has been handed down since the 13th century. The mountain was already inhabited in prehistoric and protohistoric times. The counts of Castell converted the preserved buildings into a Carmelite monastery. It was destroyed in the 16th century and the monks fled to Würzburg. The final dissolution took place in 1803. In 1957, church life moved into the buildings of the Vogelsburg.

Highlight • Settlement

Escherndorf is a district of the city of Volkach in the Bavarian district of Kitzingen in Lower Franconia. Until the voluntary merger with Volkach on January 1, 1972, Escherndorf was an independent municipality. Historically, the place had been part of the Volkach office since the 17th century, which was part of the Würzburg monastery. Unlike many other parishes in the area, the village never changed rulers, but was always subordinate to the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg.
