Municipality of Iphofen

Highlight • Settlement

Iphofen is a picturesque little town at the foot of the Steigerwald. The city is famous for its wine and above all for its unique and perfectly preserved downtown. If you walk through one of the city gates and stroll along the lovingly tended houses, the city takes you on a journey through time.

Birkensee (Schwanberg)

Highlight • Lake

It is interesting that the water supply to the Birkensee has not yet been discovered. I like the island very much and there is also seating with a table for a picnic. Just take a seat and enjoy.

View of the Franconian Valley from Schwanberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The café was closed in June 2020 and it didn't look inviting, nor was there any sign of opening soon!

Schwanberg Castle Park

Highlight • Natural Monument

Anyone who stands under the cool, shady roof of the Lindenallee in the Schwanberg Castle Park on hot days will be captivated by the sweet scent of the blooming linden trees and enchanted by the mood that the large trees, the dead straight and then winding paths, the towering groups of trees and the sunlit Spread places, who will probably visit the park again and again.

FriedWald Schwanberg

Highlight • Forest

A Saturday in Bavaria between Steigerwald and Mainebene. The vineyards form a striped pattern of green grass and yellow leaves. In serpentines it goes almost 500 meters up the Schwanberg near Iphofen - to the first and only evangelic Friedwald in Germany.

Bildeiche Iphofen (Fourteen Holy Helpers Oak)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The so-called picture oak is a natural monument at the hiking car park near Birklingen. On the old oak tree hangs an image of the 14 helpers in need. The age of the oak is controversial, but the tree is estimated to be around 450 years.
The distinctive tree also made it an important stop for the Iphöfer on their pilgrimage to Vierzehnheiligen. In 1897 the pilgrimage congregation donated a large wooden plaque to the city with the representation of the 14 helpers and a shepherd under a triangular tin roof. In 1911 and the 1950s the picture was renovated.

Beckahans Oak

Highlight • Natural Monument

The first highlight awaits us at the edge of the path: the so-called Beckahans oak. The oak was planted in 1922 in memory of a forester and is therefore almost 100 years old.
