Rich butter melts on a thick slice of bread, still hot from the oven, as you open a bottle of chilled organic beer from the local monastery’s own brewery – this is your delicious reward for your gentle hike through the beautiful Franconian landscape. This vibrant region in southern Germany is home to many unique culinary delights. For example, the emmer bread from Plankstetten Abbey is one of over 150 award-winning regional products from the Nuremberg region. The five hiking and cycling routes in this Collection will showcase some of these delicious delicacies.
To the north of Nuremberg, you hike in Kalchreuth municipality through cherry orchards. Here, you can feast on juicy cherries and try Kirschsecco, a local sparkling wine. South of the city of Würzburg, you stroll along panoramic limestone terraces in the heart of the Franconian wine country. Fantastic views over the Main Valley and delicious traditional wines await you here. Close to the border triangle in the Altmühltal Valley, you can enjoy the aroma of fresh bread from the monastery and visit the vegetable garden.
On your bike, you will discover postcard landscapes around Greding municipality where you can try three local delicacies: red ‘Pressack’ Franconian sausages from the Lederer butchers, a meal at the Eysölden Castle Tavern, and quality products from the organic farm Bio Arche Hofs Gerstner. Around Illschwang municipality and the beautiful Hain- and Högenbach valleys you can work up your appetite on your bike before spoiling yourself with baked bread and pastries from Wenkmann Bakery. The legendary restaurants "Weißen Roß" and "Zum Alten Fritz" also serve hearty post-ride meals.
To ensure you enjoy the time on your bike to the full, the start and finish points are all connected to the VGN transport network. These routes are part of the Original Regional campaign which promotes the variety of regional specialities and products that are produced according to old traditions in cultural landscapes. The ultimate goal – inspire your taste buds and senses to the max.
