Speckfeld Castle — Tower Ruin

Highlight • Castle

To the northeast of Markteinersheim, Speckfeld Castle was built around 1200 by the Counts of Speckfeld on the old Nuremberg-Würzburg-Frankfurt Reichsstrasse (today's B 8). It was first mentioned in a document in 1226.
In 1412 Elisabeth von Hohenlohe gave the castle to the Limpurg taverns. Destroyed and plundered several times (in 1525 in the Peasants 'War and by the Swedes during the 30 Years' War in 1618/48), the castle was abandoned in 1693. The Limpurg taverns move into their new castle in Einersheim.
At the beginning of the 18th century, the castle came into the possession of the Counts of Rechtern-Limpurg-Speckfeld, but it was falling into disrepair. Today only a 15 m high wall of the former gate tower remains of the castle. The castle cellar is still inhabited: bats regularly hibernate here.

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

The trail goes along the ridge and is very good in both directions and flowig to passable. Coming from the direction of Birklingen is first a crisp increase, which is worthwhile anyway :)

Terroir f Viewpoint Iphofen

Highlight • Viewpoint

terroir f - that is the name of the magical places in the Franconian wine country. These are places that exude the complexity of the region in a very special way and offer breathtaking views of the Franconian wine world. The terroir f in Iphofen is the first landmark of this Franconian concept. The old lookout tower in the Iphöfer Weinlage.

Historic town center of Iphofen

The fact that Iphofen is a wine town with culture can be seen omnipresent on a tour of the beautiful town. The more than 20 winemaking families with their wineries, the vinotheque, the Weinbergerund around Iphofen and many other details make wine in all its diversity to be experienced everywhere in Iphofen.

May 7, 2023,Trailrunde Schwanberg Castell MIT SCHRIEB

Finally took some time... also a bit of time to rant, as many people demand.

I've wanted to ride this trail loop for ages. From the base, that would be a 100km+ lap. Due to limited time, I preferred to glide there using cultural assets.

Second day of the bike weekend 🤗 Today I followed a tour from komoot. Thank you for posting 👍🏻
It started off really well up the Schwanberg and to the monastery there. There were gradients of around 20%. The trail-heavy route continued through the adjacent Friedwald: Bibartweg Trail, Speckfeldweg Trail and up to the Speckfeld castle ruins. Then on to …

The tour was a dream. The last trail to Castell (approx. 1 km) can only be ridden by those who love mud and have good riding technique.

After it was too late yesterday to get going, and therefore too warm, a little lap was part of the program this morning.
