Volkach Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

The former administrative buildings are spread throughout the old town. Only the town hall at the front of the market square is still used by the city administration today. A town hall in Volkach has been documented since 1484, but it did not exist on the current site. Construction of the current building began in 1544. The town hall has undergone several renovations, including the addition of a double staircase in 1610. In the 20th century, it was also used as a school; today, it houses the town administration and the administrative community.

The architecture is influenced by the Renaissance. The town hall has three floors and a steep gable roof. A double flight of open staircase is above the pointed arched gateway. A half-timbered bay window crowns the building. At the rear, there is a stair tower. A major renovation in 1972 transformed the building and adapted it to the needs of the administration. The interior contains several oil paintings. Official portraits of the Würzburg prince-bishops can be found here.

Volkach Market Square and Fountain

Highlight • Settlement

The wine town of Volkach is the center of the Mainschleife and looks back over more than 1,100 years of local history, all in the name of Frankenwein. Take a stroll through the market square with the historic town hall, stroll through the adjacent alleys and treat yourself to a good glass of local wine at the end of a hiking day.

Today my daughter and I went to the Main. I found this tour on Komoot and saved it. We parked the car at the sports grounds in Bergrheinfeld. From there we went straight onto the Main cycle path. But the separate cycle path only ran along the road, and we didn't see the Main until about 8 - 9 km …

We were looking for the sun -
that was relaxation - not an escape!

We have often ridden this little circuit -
in all our many years of life.

Although we can still ride "bio-bikes" -
we are now treating ourselves to e-bikes.

And - who would have thought:
It was actually fun! 😉

We got "lost" at the beginning because we thought we could push through the forest, but at some point (see map) it was no longer possible because there was too much of a gradient, it became increasingly slippery and narrower... So we went back and took the “correct” bike path. Yippee

Jungle trail after the rain was bsd exciting. I kind of enjoy driving in the mud. Had to push partially to avoid slipping into the water, but it wasn't much. Then, when the weather is nice, the cycle paths on the Main again.

It's great when cyclists have the entire width of the road at their disposal! Along the way, there were plenty of stops for food, drinks, information, music, and, of course, great cycling weather ☀️
