From Orchard Meadows to a Forest RuinStarting from the traditionally influenced wine-growing village of Retzbach, we explore a little-known natural gem and visit the "blue tower" on the Lerchenberg hill. The short tour features a great variety of landscapes between orchard meadows, forest sections, and vineyards, with fantastic views of the Main valley.

Sporty Round with a View of the Wern ValleySmall but impressive – that could describe the market town of Thüngen, which is traversed by the Wern creek. Several castles dominate the townscape and point to a varied history and former importance of Thüngen. There are several themed trails in the district, and for a complete circuit, we choose the combination of the hiking rounds »Around the Vineyard« and »Into the Wern Valley« for views from several directions.

    Tour mit.überwiegend offenem Gelände und einem schönen Ausblick über Stetten und Thüngen. 2 kurze Waldabschnitte. Viel Schotterwege odee Asphalt (z.T. Radweg). Gut geeignet, wenn naturbelassene Strecken zu matschig sind.
