Escherndorf Main Ferry

Highlight • Rest Area

A short pause while cycling.... With this (and the other) Main ferries, the tours can be planned more variably. Doesn't cost much for cyclists and is usually quick.

The Main Canal is a navigable passage through the Main near Volkach in Lower Franconia. It shortens the southern part of the Main loop and, as a lock and power plant canal, is part of the Gerlachshausen barrage of the impounded federal waterway Main.

The 35 m wide canal, built between 1950 and 1957, branches off from the Main above the Volkach weir and runs 6 km in a southerly direction. Below the lock and hydroelectric power station in Gerlachshausen, it rejoins the natural course of the Main. The Main Canal is accompanied by state road 2271 and the Main Valley Cycle Path.

The construction of the Main Canal created the artificial wine island with the wine towns of Nordheim and Sommerach. The Altmain, which is navigable for small vessels, flows around the wine island over a distance of 12 km.

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.

View of the Volkacher Mainschleife and vineyards

Highlight • Viewpoint

First-class view, especially at ☀️ of the Meinschleife, Nordheim am Main and Escherndorf and the vineyards 🍇. The wooden bench below the memorial stone, above the path and next to the rose hip bush invites you to take a seat, if not already occupied. In any case, a very idyllic place. On the way back we had 🍀 and could take a seat. You could even watch 🐭🐭 next door.
