This tour leads from Aschaffenburg main station along the Franconian lifeline, through riverside landscapes where culture and nature have entered into a liaison worth seeing. The route offers so many highlights that it could easily be declared a 5-star tour. In the Spessart metropolis of Aschaffenburg, you start with two highlights: the impressive Johannisburg Castle and the Pompejanum.
The route continues through Mainaschaff, past the Mainparksee lake, which invites you to take a break for a swim. In Karlstein am Main, you should take a look at the late Gothic St Hippolyt Church. You can also marvel at expressionist monumental paintings in the nearby Church of St Peter and St Paul.
The Main ferry entices you to take a detour to the Einhard town of Seligenstadt opposite before reaching the next high point, which is also a low point: the lowest point in Bavaria. The final spurt leads along the Kahl river to the railway station there.
There are numerous opportunities to stop for refreshments along the way.
