Hiking

The Franconian Marienweg is a 1,920 km long long-distance hiking trail through Lower Franconia, Upper Franconia and Middle Franconia. It touches 87 places of pilgrimage in the Diocese of Würzburg and Archdiocese of Bamberg. Short sections of the route also run through Baden-Württemberg, Hesse, Thuringia and the Upper Palatinate. Its marking logo is a Mother of God in a red robe with a child in a blue robe on a dark blue background.
