View of Marienberg Fortress

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Marienburg Fortress is particularly worth seeing because of its excellent preservation. The climb by bike is difficult, but worthwhile. From the castle, you have a magnificent view of the city.

View of Marienberg Fortress and the Main Riverbank in Würzburg

Highlight • Viewpoint

There's always something going on here when the weather's nice. The meadows are popular for picnics, parties, and anything else fun outdoors. Even on hot sunny days, you'll always find a shady spot under the trees.
