    The southern part of the city wall from the hotel "Deutsches Haus" over the Mönchsturm to the parish church "Johannes der Täufer" is a "must" when visiting Hammelburg.
    Perhaps one or the other has heard of the Mönchsturm in the last few years from "Jakob and Adele", a pair of storks that have listened here for several years and raised offspring.
    The Hammelburgers and the surrounding area showed great sympathy for the storks.

    Along the city wall between Mönchsturm and the Catholic parish church between 2010 and 2016 (every two years) there was a very nice craft market with a French flair. In 2018, "Klein-Montmartre" would have been due again as scheduled; Unfortunately, the decision was made not to continue the beautiful event.

      The historic fortifications offer winding paths and gardens and this is also where the Romeo and Juliet sculpture by Luk van Soom from Hammelburg's Flemish / Belgian twin town Turnhout is located.

        Hammelburg has a lot to offer culturally.
