    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.

      From the ferry goes along the Main and a few steps up a short footpath to Vogelsburg, from which you have a great view

        Must visit. The steep climb is worth it.

          The staircase to the Vogelburg should not be missed on a trip to Volkach.

            Really recommendable ascent to Vogelsburg via a "sky ladder" from Escherndorf with beautiful views and wayside shrines

              From the ferry Escherndorf to the Vogelsburg, it is only a short walk on about 250 steps - with a fantastic view.

                Exhausting, but when you get to the top you will be rewarded with great views
