Discover the region

Marktheidenfeld is located between Würzburg and Aschaffenburg, making it an ideal starting point for day trips to the surrounding regions. The town itself is surrounded by vineyards, forests and rivers - a paradise for outdoor activities such as hiking or cycling.

The charming old town with its historic half-timbered houses invites you to stroll around. A highlight here are the two well-preserved town gates from the 15th century: the Upper Gate in the north of the old town and the Lower Gate towards the south.

Culturally interested visitors will also get their money's worth: the Wertheim Castle Museum displays art and cultural treasures from past eras; the local history museum provides information on the history, craft traditions and folklore of the Spessart region.

The numerous festivals and events in Marktheidenfeld also offer a special experience: For example, the traditional wine festival takes place every year in July, where local winegrowers present their fine wines. In August, the popular Fischerfest (Fishermen's Festival) on the Mainuferpromenade attracts visitors with its culinary variety and live music.

Whoever longs for a break from sightseeing, or if it rains, can settle down in one of the cosy cafés or restaurants and enjoy the culinary specialities of the Spessart region. These include hearty dishes such as "Spessart-Schäufele" as well as regional wines.

In conclusion, Marktheidenfeld is worth a visit at any time of year: In spring, countless fruit trees blossom here; in summer, the banks of the Main invite you to relax; in autumn, the forests glow in all their colours and in winter, the town transforms into a romantic winter fairytale.

Whether as a day trip or for a longer stay - this travel guide shows you all the things you can experience and where it is most beautiful!

    Schöne Tour. Wir sind die Tour allerdings in der anderen Richtung gefahren und in Wertheim gestartet. Zwischen Röttbach und Kreuzwertheim ist der Wanderweg mit Tourenrädern nur schwer befahrbar auch weil es in dieser Richtung ab und zu steil aufwärts geht. Auf jeden Fall sollte der Boden trocken sein. Ansonsten Danke für die tolle Tour. Markus.

    Bin die Tour am 11.04.2016 gelaufen. Bin allerdings nicht das Stück auf der Straße den Dillberg hochgelaufen, sondern einen kleinen Umweg über die andere Seite des Kreisels in Erlenbach. Auch beim Kloster Triefenstein bin ich nicht auf der Straße gelaufen, sondern den "Kulturweg" Über den Triefenstein. Sehr schöne Tour, die allerdings bei sehr warmen Wetter recht schweißtreibend sein dürfte. Ansonsten bei einer Grundfitness ohne Probleme. Einzig der Anstieg zum Kreuzberg in Marktheidenfeld ist etwas steiler.

    Ich habe mich hinreißen lassen, die Tour nachzufahren. Sie war landschaftlich wunderbar, für mich allerdings wegen der Länge der Strecke eine Herausforderung. Für jeden sportlich Ambitionierten jedoch ein Muss.
