View of Terroir f Stettener Stein

Highlight • Viewpoint

terroir f - A magical place at Stettener Stein

In the steep "Stettener Stein", 130 meters above the Main, you will find the terroir f of Karlstadt. You sit here like in an amphitheater and look far out over the river valley. At the same time, the view is directed to the soil, because, in addition to the topic of "Main", the terroir f also provides information about the types of soil on which the vines of Franconian wine thrive.

View of the Karlsburg castle ruins from the Main Bridge in Karlstadt

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very nice old town, you should not just drive past it. The castle ruins "Karlsburg", vineyards and the good Franconian cuisine invite you to linger.

Karlstadt Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

The beautiful old town of Karlstadt with the historic marketplace is really worth seeing. The old half-timbered houses surpass each other in their splendor.

Höchheimer Steg

Highlight • Bridge

The new Main Bridge ("Höchheimer Steg") between Veitshöchheim and Margetshöchheim was officially opened to pedestrians and cyclists on November 5, 2024, after four years of construction. Margetshöchheim Mayor Waldemar Brohm and his Veitshöchheim colleague Jürgen Götz officially opened it during a small ceremony.

The Höchheimer Steg crosses the federal waterway Main and connects the two communities of Margetshöchheim and Veitshöchheim at km 244.4 of the Main River. The bridge is a cable-stayed bridge (anchored suspension bridge with two pylons) with a usable width of 3.00 meters and a railing height of 1.30 meters. The total length is 311.00 meters, and the suspension bridge itself is 112.00 meters long. The bridge has no obstructive piers in the Main River.

Since larger ships now operate on the Main, the old Ludwig-Volk-Steg (commissioned on July 24, 1967) was no longer considered stable in the event of a collision with the pier foundations.

On January 20, 2025, the old Ludwig-Volk-Steg was closed after almost 58 years. Work began in February 2025 to prepare for the dismantling of the Ludwig-Volk-Steg. The dismantling was completed in June 2025.

Veitshöchheim Old Town and Riverside Promenade

Highlight • Settlement

Pretty small town with promenade on the Main, a town hall from 1748 and a castle from 1680. Here you can relate well to a neighborhood and drive on well-developed bike paths to Würzburg.

Historic Old Town of Thüngersheim

Highlight • Historical Site

Thüngersheim is a municipality in the district of Würzburg in Lower Franconia. It is located on the Main and is strongly influenced by viticulture. With around 270 hectares of vineyards, it is one of the largest wine-growing communities in Franconia.

The place came into being during the first Frankish settlement phase between 530 and 700 AD. Thüngersheim was first mentioned in 1098. The first vines were planted in 1154. The completion of the parish church of St. Michael took place in 1614.

Start in foggy weather at 9.00 a.m. in the direction of Karlstadt on the Radmainweg. In the private area of the castle there are 4 trout pools with around 400 trout. Back via Retzstadt on the banks of the Main in the direction of Thüngersheim, Zell and then, in sunny weather, the last few meters home.

Following the Main by bike on its winding path from the source to the mouth is a pleasure - the wonderful Franconian and Hessian landscapes along the way with their regional peculiarities ensure this. ✌️
