May 2, 2025,Fähre Escherndorf – Schöner Blick auf den Main Runde von Escherndorf

Funny that I hadn't looked closely at the tour beforehand, and part of it led back through the jungle trail. When the weather's this nice, I always carry a microfiber towel with me. This way, I was able to cool off in the Main River—it was such a wonderful opportunity. I was able to walk most of the way barefoot. …

Today was the eighth time I've walked the jungle trail. But it's never been so jungle-like before. 😅 Over trees, between them, through them, past steep sections. Not bad. 😉👍🏻 The nature trail above was just as exciting.

The last piece is no longer part of the tour. From the Kaltenhausen car park approx. 500 m up the hill, I only noticed in the car that the Komoot was still running. 🙈

I think the jungle path is one of the most beautiful hiking sections in the Kitzingen district.
You should definitely wear sturdy shoes and walk the path consciously.
It is also important that it is not a cycle path!

We started in Kaltenhausen, at the ferry to Fahr. This time up to the Vogelsburg and into the vineyards of Escherndorf. …

Together with my wife's cousin, who is visiting us over the extended WE, we set off to Escherndorf today to take a closer look at the wonderful "Escherndorfer Lump" site while hiking. We really liked the fantastically autumnal colored vineyards & were super impressed.

Another nice round 😅
A few men came towards us and told us not to go any further, the path is hell 🤣 we will think of them on the way 🙃

...and before that we went to the Wipfelder wine festival. A MUST because they had vegan plucked cheese, plucked cake and apple tart 🌱
