From the Mainfranken Motel in Marktsteft we went with Heidi and Volker via Kitzingen to Schwarzach, always along the sea. 9.9.23 still 30 ° 🌞🌞. Wow... what a September 👍.
The first stop is at Cafe Konditorei Haun for coffee and homemade 🍰.
We continued via Sommerach and Nordheim, the Main loop to Volkach on a 🍦 or 🍦🍦.

Today, we're not heading into the quiet of the vineyards, but to the hotspots along the river; so, always along the Main...

The landscape down here is more varied than you might think: the gently rolling floodplain is characterized by wild meadows, fruit trees, and fields; wine doesn't play the dominant role here.

The "mountain tour" to the Nordheimer Kapellenberg is rewarded with a beautiful view far beyond the Mainschleife. Münsterschwarzach Monastery is worthwhile. The outdoor pool in Ochsenfurt was today. Holiday (Assumption of Mary) closed. At over 30 degrees!!!!

(Incomplete placeholder)
Sunny to cloudy, light southwest wind, 24 degrees
Lots of wine growing, many large commercial areas, pretty old towns especially in Marktbreit and Ochsenfurt, still no significant shipping traffic.
The white wine grapes seem to have already been harvested, those for the blue Zweigelt are still to come.
In the end: the hotel had to be rebooked by …
