Franconia, Bavaria

 

Franconia is a fertile region in Bavaria with pristine nature – the holiday destination is proud owner of nine parks which cover an area of 14,000 square kilometres. In the green north of Franconia, you can do mountain biking or explore the Altmühl Valley Nature Park as investigator and fossil collector.

Fairy tales, myths and legends are still an idyllic reality in the woods of Franconia. After sunset, locals sitting around a camp fire will tell of fairies living in the woods and mysterious ghost lights waiting upon visitors in the thicket. On snow shoes, tourists will get to know the picture book region thoroughly; a ride in a horse-drawn carriage will awake slumbering, romantic souls. Landlords who rent holiday homes offer torchlight hikes in conjunction with rustic mountain lodge evenings.

Holidaymakers wanting to relax can take a break from everyday life in the magic bath and enjoy a prickly massage with a soap brush or a Shiatsu head massage. With Nordic walking, you can train your body during the whole year.

Those preferring to spend their holidays drinking wine in a sleepy village can spend their holidays in the municipality of Adelshofen near Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Here you can try a bottle of „Hasennestle“, join the legendary wine festival in July and party till the roof is on fire, or just sit outside in the „Miniländle Tauberzell” and relax.
