マルクトハイデンフェルトの洞窟・トップ20

The ruins of Wertheim Castle, situated at the confluence of the Main and Tauber rivers, are among the largest and most beautiful stone castles in southern Germany. From classical music to rock, from comedy to world theater, impressive events take place in a picturesque setting.

The Hintere Treppensteig is the secret path to Wertheim Castle - a steep, narrow path that leads directly up from the city center. This climb is challenging, but it's worth the effort! The path leads you through dense greenery and offers small, surprising views of the old town of Wertheim and the Main.

The stairs are narrow and sometimes uneven, so you should definitely wear good shoes. Halfway up there is a small bench that is perfect for a quick break.

Steep path with some high steps, solidly secured with railings

Wertheim is a picturesque town on the Main, known for its historic old town and impressive castle. Wertheim Castle is one of the largest and oldest castles in Germany and offers wonderful views over the city and the river. To get to the castle, you have to climb a steep staircase that winds through the narrow streets of the old town. The climb is strenuous, but it's worth it because the castle is a true gem of medieval architecture and history. The castle was built in the 12th century and was expanded and rebuilt several times over the centuries. It was once the residence of the Counts of Wertheim, who played an important role in regional politics. Today the castle houses a museum that tells the history of the castle and the city, as well as a romantic castle courtyard that is used for events. Wertheim Castle is a must for every visitor to the city and a testament to the past and present of this charming region.

The staircase also goes to the other side and then around the castle

Homburg Castle For cyclists in the Main Valley, the view of the tuff rocks is always worth a photo stop with a “saddle break”. Homburg am Main Castle presents itself as a historical painter's corner that can be found with great regularity on calendars and in the relevant travel literature about Franconia. In fact: the architectural and historical landmark of the well-known wine-growing community on the eastern Mainviereck is one of the most famous monuments among the palaces and castles in Franconia. Homburg Castle has been municipally owned since 1869. The Triefenstein market as the current owner had to make a lot of efforts to save the half-timbered building from decay.

Nice view of the Henneburg from the ferry.
