Volkach

The landscape around Volkach is defined by the broad loop of the Main and sun-facing Franconian vineyards, which have shaped both the town’s compact form and its wine-growing economy. Set in Lower Franconia’s Mainschleife wine country, Volkach is closely associated with Silvaner and other regional varieties. Surviving gates and sections of former fortifications in the historic centre recall its long role as a market town. Above the town, the pilgrimage church of Maria im Weingarten houses Tilman Riemenschneider’s Madonna in the Rosary. The Main also links Volkach with river settlements and cycling routes across Franconia.
