Key facts of the tour
Starting from the pilgrimage site of Retzbach, you hike along the ridges above the Retztal valley via Retzstadt to Thüngersheim. Be prepared for a good 380 metres in altitude. The climb is worth it. Time and again, the view sweeps far into the countryside as far as Würzburg, the Steigerwald, Spessart and the Rhön. The important pilgrimage church "Maria im grünen Tal" invites you to take a moment of reflection and fascinates those interested in culture. And, of course, you will wander through the vineyards.

Follow the markings with the blue pentagon, the blackbird and the mouse. There are shell limestone benches, wave benches and shelters along the way where you can take a break.

Leave the railway station on the right and follow Bahnhofstraße, turning right downhill at the old half-timbered town hall. A hundred metres after the "Vogelsang" hotel, turn left into Pfarrer-Seitz-Weg along the Retz stream. At the end, a climb up the steps into Retzstadter Straße awaits you. The route now leads to the pilgrimage church "Maria im grünen Tal".

The Retzbach pilgrimage church is surrounded by nature. The neighbouring health garden invites you to explore and actively relax. Behind the church, the Way of the Cross, consecrated in 1880 and consisting of 14 stations, leads up the hill.
