Discover the region

Ebensfeld is known for its historic old town and the impressive pilgrimage church of Maria Limbach. The church was built in the 18th century and attracts thousands of pilgrims every year.

But Ebensfeld also has a lot to offer culturally: The annual town festival attracts visitors from near and far and offers a colourful programme with music, dancing and culinary delights. Also worth seeing are the local history museum and the numerous art and craft markets in the area.

For gourmets, Ebensfeld is a true paradise: Here you will find traditional Franconian cuisine such as bratwursts, draught beer or hearty Schäufele dishes. A special highlight, however, are the numerous wine festivals in the region, where you can taste local wines.

The best outdoor activities can be enjoyed especially during the summer: Whether hiking on the Franconian Marienweg or cycling along the Main cycle path - everyone gets their money's worth here! Canoeing tours on the river Regnitz or climbing on the nearby Staffelberg are also popular activities among tourists.

If it should rain, there are still plenty of ways to keep busy: A visit to Banz Castle or an excursion to the nearby city of Bamberg are recommended.

Ebensfeld, district of Lichtenfels is worth a trip at any time of the year! Whether for those interested in culture, gourmets or outdoor enthusiasts - everyone will find what they are looking for here. A travel guide for Ebensfeld should therefore not be missing from any travel list!

    Sehr schöne Wanderung, auch die Streckenführung ist gelungen, gute Einkehrmöglichkeiten, landschaftlich toll mit vielen guten Ausblicken. Hatte allerdings statt 770 Hm auf meinem Garmin- Navi, das eigentlich genau geht, fast 1000 Hm! Hat aber den Stolz auf die bewältigte Strecke nur noch gesteigert, sehr empfehlenswert!

    Eine sehr schöne Tour, aber entgegen den Angaben des Autors alles andere als leicht!! Es gibt zwei sehr langgezogene und heftige Steigungen, die auch geübte Radfahrer herausfordern! Leider ist die Streckenführung nicht sehr präzise aufgezeichnet, abschnittweise nur Luftlinie, so dass man öfter über den Weg rätseln musste, was etwas lästig war. - Man findet sich aber zurecht! Wir sind in Mürsbach gestartet und die Route im Uhrzeigersinn abgefahren. Auf der Strecke liegen Schloss Eyrichshof, Burgruine Rotenhan und Schloß Gereuth. Die Strecke ist landschaftlich wunderschön und abwechslungsreich.

    Die Bewertungen muss man natürlich immer regional sehen. Alpen sind es hier natürlich nicht. aber für die Gegend ist es landschaftlich super und da die HM auf die 2te Hälfte der Tour konzentriert sind ist die Kondition schon gefragt. Tolle Aussichten. und auf dem Staffelberg gibts zur Belohnung eine Einkehrmöglichkeit.
