Alzenau

The landscape around Alzenau is shaped by the wooded foothills of the Spessart and the Kahl valley, which have influenced both its compact settlement pattern and local winegrowing. In Lower Franconia, near Bavaria’s border with Hesse, the town combines a small urban centre with districts extending into vine-covered slopes and woodland. Medieval Alzenau Castle rises above the old town; it was long connected with the Electorate of Mainz, which governed this area before the nineteenth century. Vineyards around Hörstein and Wasserlos underline Alzenau’s place in the Franconian wine region, while the Kahl valley provides its natural thread.
